I want to go to NYC on Monday, July 21st for the NY Spaced Screening and Q&A Event. It's FREE and Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Jessica Hynes will be there. And then on Tuesday the 22nd they'll be signing things at the Virgin Megastore in Times Square. This is pretty much one of the only times I've ever wished I lived in NYC. How difficult ( Read more... )

I needed the big orange extension cord, so I went to the garage to find it. I stood in the doorway, surveying the mess in the garage, trying to spot the cord. When I didn't immediately see it, I stuck my hand out and yelled:

ACCIO, EXTENSION CORD!Obviously the cord didn't come flying into my hand, but after yelling that, I did happen to spot the ( Read more... )

I had a very deep conversation with myself (out loud) on the drive home today while eating Goldfish:

I think it should be legal to marry food.

*stares fondly at Goldfish crackers for a moment*

You'd totally marry me, wouldn't you? Yeah, I know you would.

After mass last night we stopped and got ice cream cones. I was all sorts of giddy about getting ice cream. We sat outside on benches to eat them and I discovered that if I sat back all the way on the bench, I could swing my feet like little kids do when their feet don't reach the ground. So I was sitting there, swinging my feet and eating my ( Read more... )

It's only 7:12am but the highlight of my day has already happened. I came downstairs and happened to glance out the front windows and saw something white near the mailbox. I stopped for a moment while what I was seeing registered in my brain as I haven't seen that white thing for a month ( Read more... )

I meant to shower and wash my hair this morning before work. That didn’t happen as I hit the snooze button for a solid hour, without even remembering doing so when I woke up late. My hair was very unwashed today but I dealt. It’s all good ( Read more... )

This girl did a math lesson in class today that involved Oreos. And I could barely contain my giggling. Mmm, Oreos. And I got to snag a bunch to bring home because they were actually going to throw them out. Anorexic freaks, all of them ( Read more... )

Legally Blonde 2 was busted. There were some amusing parts, but overall it was bleh. Which we pretty much predicted from the quality of the previews. If I recall correctly, there were only two good previews out of five or six, not good odds at all. Seabiscuit and Mona Lisa Smile.Must cleanse mind of bad movie aftertaste with multiple viewings ( Read more... )

Blockbuster was out of Full Frontal last night so I rented Ringu. I have to watch The Ring again in order to competently compare the two, but right now I think The Ring is better. Maybe it’s because I saw that first before I saw the original, but I don’t think so. And it’s not because it’s subtitled. I have no problems with subtitles. I am the ( Read more... )

So this guy came into the store yesterday and wanted to return this writing box that he had bought 2 1/2 years ago. We have a 6 months return policy but sometimes the managers will let it slide. I guess since he had the receipt and the box lid is slightly cracked we let him get a refund. He paid $125 for it. It’s current retail price is $43, ( Read more... )
