"Volcano" is so cheesy.

Officer: This one looks like your mom?
Obnoxious Kid:...pause...They all look alike...

I saw it when it came out in the movie theatres back in 1997 when I was at UCR. I saw it with Samantha, her brother, and another person. I remember hearing that Wesley Snipes was in the theatre or something; he had been up for the part that Tommy Lee Jones got in the movie.

I'm broke until Monday. Hopefully then I'll make time to get my car towed to the mechanic shop. I'm having problems with Jeremy my carpool person to work. I missed two days of work last week - I called in sick on Tuesday (I wasn't feeling well, but the thing is, I was hung over the day before and still went into work on Monday) and on Wednesday night I got sloshed and ended up attaching myself to some guy at The Loft and crashed at his place. I overslept and missed Jeremy and wasn't able to get a ride to work for Thursday. I was planning to take the bus into work early Friday morning since I had nothing done for the week, but decided against it. Jeremy never showed up nor called the next morning. Luckily, I had just received a $49 refund check from my canceled car insurance, so I used that to take a cab to work - I walked to Park and University to end up at a Wells Fargo ATM, but no bank; I was pissed to find there was no damn bank there! Right across the street from that ATM is where an old Wells Fargo used to operate; today the building remains but borded up. I made it into work an hour late, but still managed to finish all my work on time - a light week. David took me home, which was cool, but I think I'll be using the bus system to get to and from work for now on. My boss is getting concerned about my lack of car, so I need to get that fixed so I can start depending on myself (and hopefully my newly-dependable car) to get to and from places.

I still have to do my California tax return. I used H&R Block's website to calculate my taxes, and I was able to file my Federal taxes electronically and used the rapid refund option to get my taxes back in like 5 days. But because I had a correction/itemization on my State return, I have to file that manually. I tried undoing the itemization and resubmitting the file, but it wouldn't work. I can file over the phone, but I have to find my EZ tax return booklet.
