Pre-holiday miscellanea
- I'm losing my faith in humanity. I mean, y'all are cool, but I'm not sure about the rest of them. Yesterday I had to take some boxes of fruit down to my mom. I loaded them on a cart and met her downstairs. After that as is the nature of these things I had to take the empty cart back upstairs. So I'm struggling with the front doors of my building and this gigantic cart and when I turn around to pull it in the building I see a dude standing there smoking, watching, and softly snickering. Jackass. I understand that these are different times and men aren't expected to hold doors for ladies or assist them with heavy items but damn, you could at least not watch and snicker.
- I'd like to have a night without crazy vivid dreams. I won't share details, but when you get to the point where your dreams are not only film-like but also have alternate endings, well it's just weird.
- A couple of years ago I was told that the movie Gigantic was excellent and if I watched it I would go dig out my old They Might Be Giants tapes. He was right, but I'm wondering if anyone actually bought a TMBG tape in the late 80s/early 90s. I had dubbed copies of Lincoln and Flood, everyone I know who had this tape also had dubbed copies. I'm not sure who had cassette zero but it would be fun to trace the lineage. It's stealing music which is ILLEGAL, children, but I like to think that TMBG would be good natured about the whole issue.
- Today at work no one's going to get anything done because it's the last day before a four day holiday. What do you have planned? Tomorrow I go buy skates! hooray! Let's hope I'm successful. Also planned is a trip to the maternal side of the family on the East side of the state, church, cholesterol laden breakfast casserole, bowling. Oh, and running around town with Dr Gay!

Item 1: That's just bad upbringin' - especially in the south! Kids today, I swannee! But my dear, to channel Earl Hickey, you may rest at night secure in the knowledge that one day he'll be carrying some large, heavy item (bag o' anvils, dead body, freakishly large bong 'cuz he sounds like the type) and you will be in a position to slam the door in his face. And snicker.
Item B: Was it like Clue? Was Tim wasshisname in it? 'Cuz that's the sign of a truly strange dream.
Item III: Sara bought Jim a copy of Gigantic a few Christmases ago. Would you like me to put it on cassette tape for you? I can trace my "Flood" tape back two people, that's it. Back then that was the only way to introduce people to new stuff; if there had been internet back then we would have been goddesses. Goddesses, I tell you!
Item four: SKATES!!!!!!!! (get fast ones!)
i'm a strong believer in karma. one reason I love earl. not so crazy about his scientology.
It was more like watching a DVD and then watching the alternate endings right after the movie was over. One ending involved vampirism, one involved satanism, another involved zombies. Basically, you didn't know what was going on until the very end (it took place in a theme hotel on the california coast).
