I slept in until 8:00AM this morning and it was pretty great. And in the afternoon I took a nap. In between the dogs randomly barking at the same stuff they see every day. They barked all day long and it was surprisingly stressful. It is hard to relax when you have no idea when the next round of violent barking is going to begin. I am fairly certain my personal Hell will involve a lot of barking dogs.

I didn't really do much with my day. I looked at a lot of Nexus 7 stuff. Apps, tips & tricks, cases, and other stuff. I will probably sending my Nexus 7 and the keyboard back next week. The Nexus 7 creaks a little on one side which I believe is caused by the screen coming up a little bit. And I hear this is a typical issue. So I am going to exchange it and cross my fingers that the next one is better. As for the keyboard, I like it as a case but it is way too tiny for a keyboard. I could probably type a lot faster with the on-screen keyboard, which defeats a lot of the purpose of having a physical keyboard. So now I am looking into actual cases and bigger bluetooth keyboards. There are just enough options out there for the decision to be more difficult than I would like.

At work I finished season three of Arrested Development, read a little bit, played games on the Nexus 7, and watched Fast And Furious 6. That movie was ridiculous, bigger and more over the top than any of the previous movies, and I liked it. There is a save on the bridge that is so insane it left the entire audience speechless. I assume they were all saying to themselves "Did they really just do that?", because I know I was. And they have left it open for the next one. Which I immediately wanted to see. The annoying thing is that they tease that right at the beginning of the credits yet people still sit and wait like there is going to be something after the credits. Now I want to watch Transporter. And Tokyo Drift.

I also helped clean several theaters tonight. I do not miss picking up other people's trash. It is still gross and I still don't understand why people can't throw their own trash away. Over the years it has become the norm for people to be complete slobs when they go to the movies and that needs to change.

I am currently waiting for the two midnight shows to get out so I can go home and go to bed. Despite getting to sleep in and then later taking a nap, I am really tired. I'm too old to be up past two o'clock in the morning. At least when being up that late involves working. I'm tempted to say I can only open this summer but then my entire day would be shot. Anyway, I've got about twenty minutes left so I am gong to pack up and then read until the movies drop.
