Afternoon At The Movies

Yesterday, simply because I wanted to do something different than the same old same old and I knew only we wanted to see this movie anyway, my cousin and I went to see Knocked Up with the gorgeous Katherine Heigl. I've followed her career off and on since she appeared on Roswell, which was an under appreciated TV series if you ask me... Are we surprised she's the only one from that show that's really done anything since of any note? No, we are not.

The movie was rated R for three main reasons (sex, drug use and language) but we're all adults here. (I was asked how old I was though.) The movie straddled the line between mature and immature but I think that's what made it good. I would never want to see this movie with my mother and or grandmother, however. Like Hitch, this movie gave me hope. If a drug addicted unemployed shlub can get the girl, there is hope although but I'm really not into one night stands for reasons such as this, frankly. "You're prettier than I am." "I came over to see how my beers were doing." Do these lines actually work? I suppose if she's drunk enough...

Because no other review printed anywhere else will mention this, Kristin Wiig, who was on Saturday Night Live last I knew, was hilarious as an E! executive but since she's one of the "Two A-Holes" on that show am I surprised? No! Speaking of E! in this movie, Ryan Seacrest was the funniest I've ever seen him but, as a guy, I want Gulianna Dipandi to deliver those lines...

I close with a question: Can one really get pink eye from farting on a pillow?

Random Comments Into My Life

We did yardwork yesterday. I picked up a lot of sticks. Home Depot sucks on a Friday morning. My father and I went to get a new gascan for the mower and there was only one employee around to help us...and she didn't know anything about how these new fangled gas cans work... So due to a bank error when I reset my bank account so I could accurately keep track again, I had like a hundred dollars less in my account than I thought so my last bill payment put me in the hole. This would've been all right and easily fixed if I had been paid for the last week of my mailroom job but, oddly, I still have not been even though it's been weeks. I don't know if I can accurately convey how infuriated this makes me. If it doesn't happen soon, heads will roll! Also yesterday I re-watched the Enterprise episode "Regeneration"; this time with audio commentary from the writers. They made some valid points I hadn't considered on the issue of if this episode screws with...

Remind Me

Remind me to complain how boring and unexciting my life more often because as soon as I did, it got really exciting really fast. Last night, we had four visitors arrive from Korea. They like ziti and garlic bread. Go figure. They will be staying until Sunday night. I told my mother (AKA Hyacinth Bucket) she was making way too much salad but did she listen? No. Now we have this huge-ass bowl of salad in the fridge...What's really irritating is first the fork we use to serve catfood went missing now Susie's dish is missing as well... Tomorrow, I have a physical to prepare for my surgery then I go to my orthopedist's to fill out consent forms. Woo Hoo! I hope I can find time for a haircut as well because... Friday, I have a job interview at a library in Massachusetts! It's a reference job but I also will be conducting a book group. I've never done that but it sounds really fun. Sure, I'll be stuck reading many book that sucks but isn't that what book group i...

And Now, A Lame Quiz!

Your Score : Dionysus 33% Extroversion, 46% Intuition, 55% Emotiveness, 76% Perceptiveness Although deeply emotional, you are extremely lacking in self-knowledge. You are somewhat needy, and when bored, may become very hedonistic. Your life is a quest for meaning, above all else. You are most like Dionysus. You are primarily interested in serving others, but your efforts are almost always unappreciated. You aren't confrontational, you're often out of tune with your own needs and unaware of the consequences of your own actions. You are, at heart, a good person. You are very affectionate, and you are very loyal to your friends and family. You are very reluctant to burden others with your own problems, to the point that this in itself can become a problem for the people who care about you. This is a particular of a more general problem. Dionysus sends wave of ruin throughout his personal life. He is the photographer who seduces his subjects. He is the teacher who seduces a student...
