(no subject)
So, first of all, Role Models was hilarious. Maybe it was the low expectations I had going in, but it was really, REALLY funny. There was a moment near the climax of the movie where the main characters (Paul Rudd, Sean William Scott, and their two young counterparts) arrive at one of the boys' live-action play RPG event dressed up as the members of KISS, and the way it is presented--with them pulling up in this flame-shooting, giant monster truck, with Paul Rudd's bare, hairy chest, to the tune of Detroit Rock City--that I laughed just about as hard as I have at any point in a movie before. I laughed a great deal through the flick, so...good work, movie. I gave it 4/5 on Flixster.
HOWEVER. However. All was not well in movie world. I direct you to exhibit A:

Go ahead and read the two entries under that tag. I'll wait.
For the first time since GOD DAMN JANUARY, they brought back that commercial. As soon as it started, I knew exactly what it was, and I just shy of flipped the hell out. "WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? No! I thought I was done with you! WHO BROUGHT YOU BACK? Fuck you, National Guard. Get out of my world!" just continued talking loudly and obnoxiously over the whole commercial at regular speaking volume; I have no qualms with being rude in the movie theater if they are going to RE-subject me to Three Doors Down singing about the National Guard. I will not stand for this. WILL. NOT. STAND.
This is terrible. Just the worst. I am so intimidated to go back to the theater now. I don't know if I can do it.
Oh hey...Role Models brought me up to 22 movies in-theater on the year. I am four shy of my New Year's Resolution target of 26 (i.e. at least one ever other week). How many people do you know that are still dedicated to their Resolution? I AM. But still...Rrr. Not many good movies left to come out, and I'm poorer now than I have been the rest of the year (it's suddenly a rough time for me, money wise...I need to tighten up even more than usual. But that's not easy when I still have Christmas and an eye exam and a possible dentist trip, and dating. I should stop dating. And put off the dentist for another decade...), but that's not a TERRIBLE deal when I only see matinees. What can I do for the last four movies? I can see Quantum of Solace...meh. Maybe. But what else?
Oh, I keep getting asked to talk about Tara since I have gone out with her a few times now. I don't know what there really is to say. I met her; we've gone out three times now. It's costing me a lot of money, because we keep going to pricier places for lunch or dinner (Robokyo, Olive Garden, Red Lobster). I sound so negative; it's not bad. I have a lot of fun with her. We joke around a lot and we seem to be able to talk very easily. We joked about the movie previews pretty well, and we had some good talking during dinner. She is interesting and attractive, and I have enjoyed spending time with her. I don't think I'm going to see her for the next two weeks, though, because she's going to be busy this upcoming weekend, and I'm going to be in Somerset the subsequent weekend. She told me yesterday before we parted that we need to make plans sometime after all that to spend a whole day together, so there is that.
See how uninteresting I am? I am so bland and nondescript. We have not done anything; just two hugs the first and second time we parted for the night (nothing yesterday, but we were both in my car, so hugs are awkward there, I guess). I did not try to touch her during the movie, nor have I tried for a kiss at any point during the ends of our dates. Not sure she wants it; not sure I want it. Is that bad? I mean...she is a great girl; I'm not sure how compatible we'd be long term, but she is attractive in most every regard. I'm a slow-moving dater, but this is terribly slow by even my standards. I haven't even gone for the "kiss the back of her hand" that is such a staple in my dating arsenal yet (you laugh, but this is infallible for me. It causes swooning, and the next date is inevitably the kiss).
I...have very strong feelings for someone else. Abbey. I've been not facing up to this for a long time, and event though we speak at great length virtually every single day, and have for almost a year, I don't know. I really think that is why I have not been progressing anywhere with Tara or anyone else I've met. Especially lately. I'm not going to keep talking about this!
It's Pop-Tart time. Oh, it's Monday. Rough, rough, rough, rough, rough. I miss you so hard, weekend.
