An evening that was not excitable
So, I opted out of going to the movies. Instead, I swung by Half Price Books and nabbed a copy of Sleazoid Express for three bucks, then hightailed it over to King Buffet to read and enjoy some low-rent Chinese buffet. I'd thought about hitting Taco John's for Taco Tuesday, but decided Chinese sounded tastier than tacos.
Lo and behold, they had tacos at the buffet. I have no idea why. Maybe they got tired of mozzarella sticks and wanted some other American version of ethnic food. Personally, I don't fucking care, 'cause I got tacos AND Chinese.
Afterwards, I went over to Craig and brimer's place and hung out with them and Sarah and Paul for the evening. We watched Santa's Slay, with Bill Goldberg as a Satanic Santa on a killing spree. It was amazingly awful, and barely watchable. However, the mockery during the film and chatting with the Nuthouse brought up my spirits a ton.
At one point, I made a comment to Sarah about Lifetime movies being exploitative, just not entertaining. They play on women's fears (rape, bulemia, abusive significant others, poverty, child exploitation), yet manage to make the movies entirely unentertaining. My exact words were, "If you're going to make a movie about white slavery, at least make it interesting." At that point, she got up and said goodnight, slamming the door behind her. Evidently, it was the last straw in a series of annoyances.
As the picture to the left illustrates, my statement a while back to sarahrae needs to be retracted. I stated that just because last week's episode of Smallville featured Erica Durance (Lois Lane) in a bikini, that didn't make it why I watched. My rationale was that last season was far more risque than this season. Well, it appears that the November 3 episode pretty much renders that a falsehood:
Jonathan's oldest friend, Senator Jake Jennings (Tom Wopat from Dukes of Hazzard), comes to Smallville looking for support in his re-election campaign, but is framed for the murder of his mistress, requiring Lois (Erica Durance) to go undercover as a stripper.
