When I woke up, Kara wasn’t in bed, I wasn’t sure if she’d gone out or not. I lay in bed for a bit, she then came into the room. Looking at the time, she realized shed woken up an hour before she had to. I got out of bed and we headed through to the living room/kitchen.
I got a drink, Sierra Mist, which is Pepsi’s version of Sprite.After I went for a shower, or at least I attempted to. I couldn’t work the shower thing I went back and asked Kara for help. She set it going for me. After the shower, I finally felt clean, but it was only a matter of time before I started to feel all sweaty again.
Damn heat.
Later on we went to some guys house, Aaron, I think. He seemed pretty cool, he liked my T-Shirt (the Xenu one), Kristin had been storing some stuff at his house, so we were there to pick it up. On the way to his house, I went in Kara’s car and realized just why cars have Air Conditioning. Needless to say I went with Kristin on the way back.
We stopped at an Ice Cream shop on the way back. I felt really ill afterwards. Apparently, if Id tipped them, they would have had to sing a song, I wish I had now. Just for a laugh.
We got back to the apartment and hung out for a bit, before going to see X-Men 3. Kara and Kristin hadn’t seen it, I don’t think JJ had either but he couldn’t come.
When we got to the cinema, Kara asked for a ticket for the wrong showing, and because I just said same please I ended up with the wrong one too. Kristin, who had to go to the ATM to get money, got the right ticket, so we followed her to the proper screen. It wasn’t busy, so we weren’t stopping anyone seeing the movie.
There was a Snakes On A Plane poster in the lobby.
The only real reason I wanted to see X-Men again was for the hidden scene It really wasn’t worth it, especially considering the length of the credits.
At night, Kara and Kristin got into the pool. I was considering it, but decided against it. We started watching a film in the bedroom, before going to sleep.

Woke up today, JJ had gone to Wal-Mart at some stupid time and bought DVDs he didn’t need, so he wanted to return them. We needed to go shopping anyway, so we went over to WalMart, they were happy to exchange them for store credit, but they wouldn’t give him cash without a receipt. [WalMart smells.] We went to Frys to do the actual shopping, it smelled a bit too. It was also really badly organized – I miss ASDA.
We got back to the apartment and unloaded the crap we’d bought into the kitchen, then we headed back to WalMart, JJ with his receipt, and Kara with money to buy a TV. – It was about time really.
After the alarm going off as we left the shop, we got to the car, and realized the TV wouldnt fit, not without a struggle, anyways. We forced it into the back seat, meaning Kara, JJ and Kristin had to sit in the front, and the TV and I sat in the back..
We went to the library and I updated the blog.. I also emailed my mum. Allison met us, and we walked back to the apartment, we watched some TV and I headed to bed, and listened to some stuff on the mp3 player. I didn’t get to sleep though. Kara came in, about an hour later, at that point, I turned off the mp3 player, turned over and got to sleep not long after.

Woken up to the sound of the shower going on. I got out of bed and went to watch TV. Regis and Kelly was on, a mix of This Morning and Des & Mel – only worse than both.
Then The View came on, just as bad, Kara wanted to watch it though.
She left for class, and Kristin came home, and once JJ was ready, we left. We dropped him off at work, before going to the cinema so Kristin could apply for a job, we then went to a Subway-esque place to get an application. Then I decided I was hungry, cause I hadn’t eaten properly since I got here.
After a lot of How about? We settled on pizza. Brooklyn Pizza, we both had a cheese slice and a drink. I paid, cause I’m cool. (Haha.)
Afterwards, we walked around a bit and took some pictures, then headed back to the apartment to pick up Kara, before going to take more pictures. We drove out of town, to a scenic view point kinda bit.
Climbed up a hill to a little hut, and took some pictures and rested, after the climb. Apparently, its not only cold air that effects my asthma. Its also hot, dry air.
On the way back, we almost crashed. We didn’t though, so no need for details.
Got back, watched Jeopardy. Then Kara decided she wanted to watch a film. I made some toast, and put some cheez whiz on it. Its good stuff.
Later that night, we all ended up around the pool. Kristin had a big blow up lilo thing. Kara got on it first. Smoking as she floated around the pool. I had been sitting on the edge, with my legs in the pool, and after being splashed a heap of times, I got pulled in. I then got on the lilo thing and floated around a bit, before heading back inside. Soaking, I got changed into my Scottish PJs.

Woke up, went to get something to eat.
Kristin, Kara and I watched Y Tu Mama Tambien, then we woke up JJ before all heading to the library.
We were there for a while, it was nice going down early – People were on MSN. So I talked to them, updated Myspace a bit, etc.
We then all headed back to the apartment, where I dumped my bag and grabbed my wallet. Then we headed to the cinema again, to see A Prairie Home Companion.
I’d seen a trailer for it, but really didn’t think I’d enjoy it. It was actually a really cool, funny film. I’d recommend it.
We went home, and watched Wheel Of Fortune, and then the Saturday Night Movie – Total Recall – GREAT film.
During Total Recall, JJ went to get some Fries, which he claimed weren’t really fries, describing them more like proper chips. To me, they were just fries though.
Kristin and JJ then went to rent the movie, Match Point, I decided to go to bed, I was tired.
June 11th, 2006
Woke up, JJ was still in bed, but Kara and Kristin were nowhere to be seen.
I had a drink, looked to see what was on TV, then I noticed a piece of paper on the floor.
“We’re at the pool, come out!”
I went out and sure enough, there they were. After a while by the pool, we all headed inside again.
We then went to the video shop and rented TransAmerica, amongst others, we got back and watched it. Its an alright film.
After that we went to the library, I checked some stuff online, spoke to a few people before heading back to the apartment again.
Kristin, who’d left the library before us to go to a job interview came back – She got the job. They then watched another movie. One I didn’t want to watch. So I went and read my book.
Once the movie was done, me and Kristin went to Fry’s to get some milk, bread and stuff. When we got back, I started watching Match Point, before getting ready for and going to bed.

In the morning, JJ and Kristin went swimming in the pool, I went out and sat at the side, then we headed back inside. We then went to the video shop, to put back TransAmerica, then went to do laundry. We were there for ages, so I read my book, which I’m almost finished.
We then went back to the apartment, before heading to the library, again. Orientation for the University is this week, so we had to go to a different area than usual. While there, I spoke to some people on msn, and looked at stuff to do in Arizona.
Kristin and I have decided to head up to the Grand Canyon this weekend. Kara doesn’t want to go, cause she just sees it as a hole in the ground, JJ’s working, so he cant go.
There’s also some cavern things, that look pretty cool.
At night, Kara and JJ got drunk, then we all headed to the pool. Kara and I, sat and talked about Scotland, and the people we know.
She was asking what everyone was doing now. It was cool.
After, we headed inside, JJ, Kara and I sat and watched Buffy (the original movie), Kara headed off to bed not long after it had started, JJ passed out on the couch, and I headed to bed before it’d ended. I had never really watched the film properly. Its weird to think that something like the TV show came from something like the movie.
