+ I just watched the last 10 minutes of 13 Going On 30 on TV and cried so much I had to blow my nose. LOL. I love that movie so much!
+ Speaking of movies, I recently joined
. I finally got around to listing a few movies today, and someone has already requested one of them! That means I'll get a credit for one in the next week or two! I'm finally going to get Enchanted! If you list 10 movies, you automatically get a credit, but unfortunately I don't have 10 movies I no longer want. If you join, be sure to use me as your referrer, and list 10 DVDs, 'cause I get a credit for each person I refer who does that! Are books more your thing? Well, the same goes for
. And both services are FREE! (You have to pay to ship DVDs/books to people, but that's under $2 - a lot cheaper than buying a new DVD!)
+ Today I have encountered lots of incorrect cliches or phrases. (On other sites, not LJ. Whew!) People of the world, listen to me: it's "lo and behold", not "low and behold". Unless, of course, you want people to crouch to look at something. Your curiosity is not peaked, it's piqued, unless you could not possibly have more curiosity. Unless you spilled coffee on your book, you didn't "pour over" it, you pored over it. Also? "Here, here!" makes absolutely no sense, unless you are trying to get someone to pass you the ball. It's "Hear, hear!" because you want people to hear and take notice. Oh, I could go on all day, but these are just the ones I saw today. And before one of you can reply with, "Low and behold, my curiosity was peaked as I poured over the manual of how to get people to pass you the ball by saying, 'Here, here!'", consider this a preemptive strike. ;oD Oh, and one more thing: the plural of "Brohinsky" is "Brohinskys", not "Brohinsky's", and the plural possessive is "Brohinskys'". /grammatical soapbox*
+ I need to take a nap today. I've had a lot of trouble falling asleep lately, leading to being up past 1am for several nights in a row. Yesterday I woke up an hour before my alarm because Isaac forgot to let Mandy back in before he left for work, so she was barking like crazy and woke me up, LOL. Today I woke up 2 hours earlier than usual to go to a flea market with Ange. That was cool. Speaking of cheap movies, I got The Skeleton Key and The Village for just $3 each! (Don't worry - I checked the back of the discs first.) I also got 4 large tomatoes for $2 total! That's especially thrilling. Or, I guess, it might be; I won't know till I taste one.
+ We had an amazing storm last night. The thunder was so loud it sounded like heavy objects were falling on our house, and the neighbors' car alarms kept going off. Hehe.
+ I bet y'all are longing for the days when I went a while between posts, eh? ;o)
+ Well, the nap will hopefully come later, as now I am off to CVS to get a great deal on some Revlon lip glosses. (As if I need any lippies after stocking up on the free Cover Girl ones a few weeks ago! I'm a lip gloss junkie. Hehe.) Happy weekend!
* For the record, I am not claiming grammar perfection. These are just a few things that bother me, and having seen each of them today, it's extra bothersome!
