*ahem* anyone want to see clash of the titans with me? i remember the original fondly and have high expectations for the cheese factor of the remake. i expect it will be all special effects and nifty stunts and overacting and i'm TOTALLY FINE WITH THAT ( Read more... )

i did not get any trick-or-treaters last night. NONE. i didn't even hear small children and their parents out in the street. so i'm, um, working my way thru a bag of mini 3 musketeers and a bag of mini butterfingers. who wants chocolate?

the downstairs neighbors are listening to their stereo REALLY LOUDLY HOLY COW. fortunately the fray is on right now (how to save a life) and i like that song, and i'm not going to be home much longer. but still.

the new downstairs neighbors just came upstairs to introduce themselves. they're a french couple with a wee baby, and by "wee" i mean "six days old." OH MY GOD SHE IS SO FUCKING SMALL. O.O very cute, tho. i thought that was really nice of them ( Read more... )
