"In chaos there lies opportunity." So sayeth the Dove Chocolate foil wrapper, so it must be true... Right?
This month has been a tough one. Shorter months always are. Luckily I have Collin and my bestie Renee. I probably would have left my job months ago if it weren't for her.
We have seen some crazy shit in our adventures. This last summer, on one of the really hot days, we were driving down 17th Street towards Mission, and saw this extremely overweight man standing in his yard, wearing nothing but way too short-shorts. All the blinding white flesh scarred our retinas... It was bad. Then in late September we were running errands on a Saturday and were going towards downtown on State Street, and we saw a guy standing in the shrubbery at Bellinger Tires, peeing on the side of the freaking building. Either they gave him a raw deal on some tires, or he was just a bum, or he just really really needed to pee.
As I have said before, Renee and I watch Maury everyday at lunch (we love our baby-mama drama, and lie detector tests; it makes our lives seem normal) and everyday we see those dumb ass commercials for the "colleges". So, there is this one school's commercials that the chick on it has become really annoying and we tend to make fun of her. We noticed that in some of the commercials they show the names of the "students" who are giving there testimonials, but they never showed hers. One day, out of extreme ornery-ness and boredom during lunch, we called the number on her commercial to see if the "they" that she was always talking about would answer, and if they did would they know her name. They didn't. And I imagine they probably thought we were on drugs since we were giggling like school girls.
Sometime last week, before Collin and I went to bed, for some reason or another I was being excruciatingly stubborn about actually getting my ass off the couch and going to bed. Collin looked at me and in a stern voice said, "Bed." I looked at him and responded, "Head." All the while just as stern.... This began a fun new game of him saying words and me saying a totally unrelated word that sounded the same. The one he said that really got me was orange. If I remember correctly (I was completely exhausted and could have slept right there on the love seat) I responded with storange. Collin said this wasn't a real word but come to find out (I just looked it up in the urban dictionary) it is in fact a word. It is a noun meaning: "a store that sells only fruits and vegetables." Cah-razy.
I invited my family over for Thanksgiving dinner. This should be fun. I need to tidy up the house this weekend, and clear all the paperwork off the tables, and shit like that. I am hoping that dinner will go smoothly. I invited my dad, sister, nephew, and brother. I could not bring myself to invite my mother. It would only cause problems, plus Jenn and I agreed that it was just easier this way. Part of me wants to feel guilty for excluding her, but all the other parts of me tell it to shut the hell up. Plus it is well known that my mother is the destroyer of holiday cheer.
As most of the world knows by now (unless you have been hiding under a rock), Twilight the movie is coming out this week, and I am extremely torn. I have read and own all the books (in fact I am re-reading them again) and totally fell in love with the characters, and the story. I guess you can say I am one of the masses who is irrevoccably in love with the idea behind the stiry. Back to the point at hand, so this movie is coming out and I really really really want to see it, like right away. The problems with that is #1. I am worried I will be disappointed if the movie strays too far from the original plot (I understand that some things will have to be a little different to work as a movie) and #2. for the price of two movie tickets (even at matinee pricing) I could just buy the damn movie as soon as it comes out on DVD. Yea, if I buy it and hate it I will have another coaster, but I don't see that being the case... I don't know I am torn... Some of the casting decisions for the first movie, sort of mess up the storyline in the second movie (assuming they will make all the books into movies.... they better....), and anyone who has read all the books knows what I am talking about, and if not re-read the first two books. I am not going to spoil anything for those of you people who haven't yet been sucked into the world of Twilight. So what to do... Do I go see it in the theater, spending at least $15.00 (unless the hubby somehow scores us some free movie passes from work)? Or do I wait patiently and go to Walmart at midnight the day it gets released on DVD? Honestly? I think I will prolly cave and go see it in theaters...
Well, I think that's enough rambling for one evening... I put some new pics up on myspace.
Peace Out.
