THE HUNGER GAMES APPROACHETH. I have no idea when I'll get to see it, but I'm hoping in the next two days.
@SmartBitches: I think there’s a movie coming out. Something about gaming while hungry? Maybe it’s about Cheetos.
@cleolinda: I believe it’s the Doritos Hunger Bowl XXVII.
@SmartBitches: Brought to you by Ford?
@cleolinda: By the Ford Focus. Ford Focus: When you need to focus, focus on a Ford. And now back to you in the death arena, Caesar!
@SmartBitches: “Side curtain airbags would have been no help on that hit.”
@cleolinda: “Put your hands together for Taylor Swift and the Tesserae Dancers in the Snickers Half-Time Show!”
Sometimes, you get a little bit manic, and you can't concentrate, so you start scrolling through the TV listings, and you start thinking things.
