"The Color Palette... So Soothing"

Aug 11, 2009 00:20

The Man sez: That quote is my brother's review of "He's Just Not That Into You". Yep, he recommends this film based on the color palette. But that's my bro, y'all. He moved to NC this past Sunday and Mims was just crying and crying and crying as if the boy was leaving for the front line. Jeez Christers, Mimsy. I will miss him, of course, but it's not like I saw him all that much when he was up here. Not even when he was living in the same house, really. I mean, the boy really didn't do social things with me and, when he was at home, it was just a couple minutes chatting here and there with an occasional night watching twenty or thirty minutes of tv together. Well, I would watch and he'd come in if I was laughing particularly hard. I love my brother, but he never really invited me along for fun shit. He's totally, completely unthoughtful like that. Really. It wasn't until Mims pointed out that very fact two days before he moved that he apparently realized it. Realized that I might like things people our age do and might even be a little hurt by his thoughtlessness. It does - well, it used to. I got real accustomed to being left out of his shit. I would invite him to things but beyond rarely would he come along. I can count on one hand the number of times we've hung out outside of the house since I moved home too many years ago to comfortably admit. And at least half of those times were accidental. My 23rd birthday? Michal saw him walking toward us while were were around 16th. Fucker hadn't even called me to wish me a happy birthday yet. But, like I said, I've grown accustomed. It used to hurt my feelings like whoa. Man, especially that time he weaseled out of the St. Etienne show. That fucker. That still actually makes me feel angry. And have they toured the US since? No. And that show was to support my favorite St. Et lp. God, what a toad. But other than that, I'm not stressed. And he tried to smooth shit over by telling me he was going to Pharmacy the night before he moved. I appreciated the sort-of invite, but did he call me to tell me when he was leaving the house? Nope. Fucker forgot.

Wow, this turned bitter fast. Not my original intent. Then again, Screen on the Green got rained out tonight and I had just found the schedule and this was the final night. Mother eff. The weather had cooled and dried out a bit and we were all having a pretty nice time when the heavens fucking opened. And if it weren't for Paula Abdul's "Rush Rush" video, I would totally be left hanging on the ending to "Rebel Without a Cause".

Wait, whatever, fuck it because I just got zip files to work again on my compy!!!!!! Well, "got them to work" is a total overstatement. It went more like this - Hm, I really want that Coma-Chi song! Why can't I find that Coma-Chi song!? Why does everyone have it zipped? Well, what's the worst that could happen if I DL it? OMG WHY ISN'T IT PLAYING?? OMG HOW DID I JUST UNZIP THIS FILE????????? HUZZAH!!!

Guess it's cuz I'm a boss.
