The saying shouldn't be "Be careful what you wish for." It should be "Be careful when you wish for it"

So, I was laying on the couch last night, watching a movie. Off to the side in the room, there was a light on, that was kinda interfering with the picture. I glanced at it and thought to myself "I wish that were turned off." I no more than got the thought out when the bulb burnt out, darkening the room.
Dammit! My one granted wish, and being lazy, I wasted it! That's probably why they say "Be careful what you wish for.."

In other news, I bought some DVDs today. I always buy DVDs in four. I'm not quite sure why. Anyway, I got The Cooler, Pieces of April, Love, Actually and Big Fish. (Big Fish is the only one that I've actually seen) So, Imma go watch a movie now.
