Zoo, Commercials I Hate
So Saturday night Adrian, Kristy and I stayed at our place (Mine and Adrian's, "the Casbah") and drank and watched the movie Bottle Rocket. Then Azver and his sister Fem-Azver stopped by briefly.
Sunday Miss Heidenberger and I went to the Sactomento Zoo. It was smallest Zoo I've ever been to, and much to my heartbreak it didn't have anteaters!!! We did, however, definitely see emu's getting their hump on.
Adrian and I have determined that the Simpsons this season are particularly good. We also determined the cookies which we discovered deep in our pantry are still very good, despite the fact that we have absolutely no idea how old they are. I love discovering things in my pantry.
In other TV-related news, there are currently two commercials which I absolutely abhor. One is the "McDonalds" commercial which spends more time advertising how good the basketball player that endorses there new burger is than the burger itself. I don't remember the guys name but it ends with "blah blah, as soon on TV." The other one is the trailer of the "SAT" movie. The movie.. I dunno, just makes me angry... its just.. so stupid!! making a big thing about something thats not. Maybe its the political implications as well: there are certain elements that loathe the SAT and think it should play a lesser part in college admittions; I for one got into college on the strength of my SATs, and think that its a more accurate indicator of successful use of college education than HS GPA; the movie implies that the SAT is an evil random impediment to people's dreams.
Another trailer doesn't bother me AS much, because it looks ridiculously laughably bad, is "You Got Served" or something like that. It looks like some ridiculous attempt at redoing "bring it on" but with guys breakdancing. "Bring it On" was already a terrible attempt at the all too common sports-movie formula, and IT made me feel physically ill.
