Randomness of a Friday quality
I have hit a new low. I just used the phrase "freakin awesome" to
describe a recycle bin. It's a set of tall, slim Rubbermaid bins
designed specifically for cans or magazines or whatever and I'm making
myself look even more like a dork for going on about them, aren't I?
Damn. I still think they're cool.
When we saw War of the Worlds last week they showed a preview of The Island. Anyone going to see it? Jen and I love us some Ewan so maybe I won't have too hard of a time to convince her to go to that one. When I first heard the premise I thought it sounded a little too much like this book I just got through reading, Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. Decent enough book, btw. A group of children are raised in a "private school" without any real contact with the outside world. As events progress they find out that they're all clones with the sole purpose of donating organs to the original body as needed. Takes place in Britain so there's lots of interesting terminology that I'm not used to. It's also a bit on the depressing side what with the fact that they're all being raised just to be slowly killed off but I digress. After seeing the preview for the movie, however, I changed my mind and think that it'll kick ass. I'm all for action flicks and I've heard great things about this one. Many oooohs and ahhhhs with the car chases and such. Can't wait.
It it absofuckinlutely too hot out there. The heat index is supposed to be in the 110s today and poor Jen doesn't have air conditioning in her car. She so wanted to go to the fair this week but who really could spend and amount of time out there in this? Really? I don't even want to think about how much water they had to use last night to keep the ground muddy for the monster truck races. Because evidently you can only race monster trucks in the mud? I guess they just don't know what to do with themselves if the ground is actually dry. *rolls eyes* We will just have to go down to the lake when it gets cooler so we can spend tons of money on things like skeeball and stuff.
Why would someone steal a pile of coffee filters? Are people really that desperate that they need to pilfer coffee filters from the staff lounge? *shakes head* The cracked out things people take.
