AHHH I block out the memory of that movie (which yes, is pretty underrated) because the Jake Gyllenhaal character is literally named Holden Worther and I just can't, nope, no way
I did two things on the very long list of things I really should have been doing in December! I am an adult! Then I watched Sherlock and avoided my friends. Pretty normal day, really.
I tried to find you a blingee, but I guess I am too old to understand how the internet or computers or words work anymore, so please enjoy this google image that I am now concerned is kind of racist.
My facebook post on the subject devolved into the last chapter of Ulysses because I had no other way to deal with it but to complain and also say "yes" a whole bunch. Books- they're like the gifs of the past!
Having worked food service for so many years, this actually strikes me as exactly what a reasonable person in a nightmare of a job does with their time. I guess what I mean is let he who has never seen if they could stack stale waffle cones all the way to the ceiling cast the first stone...
When I worked in a cubicle making cold-calls to old people all over the state of Pennsylvania, I kept a list of funny street and town names. Forty Fort at best made the top 20, well below:
Intercourse
Jersey Shore
Jugtown
Homer City
Normalville
Virginville
Honey Hole
and, of course, Rough and Ready.
I've spent today observing the proliferation of tiny animal tracks in the thick snow behind my building and listening to the dripping of icicles from the roof. Winter i love you, love is forever fan love you.
I've seen The Great Beauty twice in the theater in the past week. It's so big and gorgeous and both times -both times!- grumpy old people have walked out saying they didn't understand it (which is weird because it's not that deep, but sure, ok, fun). At the end of the day, it's just another slightly snooty movie about white people feeling empty, but it is a spectacular one. If you want to feel mostly happy for a few hours while looking at pretty, complicated pictures (this is why I go to the movies, I don't know about you), that movie will do it.
This sounds like either a very good or very bad time, which is how I like things to sound.
For a dinner party, wouldn't Eddie break out the navy blazer with brass buttons?
I am excited to hear that your kids learned things! Also how the damnhell did this semester go by so quickly? Weren't you just freaking out about this thing starting up like a week ago?
Sitting at home catching up on Sleepy Hollow is for WINNERS.
My ex and a family friend from childhood both died Monday. I have four phd applications due Sunday, which is also my 30th birthday.
It's been a long week today.
I don't care how many virgins or unicorns he's bleeding to do his dark magic, Paul Rudd can and will always be able to get it. That scene in Wet Hot American Summer where he tells the blonde girl that she tastes like a burger?
Guys, it's going to be warm if not hot in South America in December. It's summer there.
I did one of those long backpacky trips through Patagonia and definitely have suggestions for that kind of deal. These things were precious: a steripen, the fancy Barron's Mastering Spanish CDs ripped to an ipod, a small waterproof camera, a nice sweater I could throw on to look respectable, and dramamine for very long bus & trainrides. Maybe your sister would just love boxes and boxes of dramamine for Christmas!
Blocking one of my exes for a couple of years still stands as one of the best things I've ever done for my health and well-being. It's right up there with gummy vitamins. Highly recommend, A+, would block again.
My nuclear option is to quote this t-shirt I loved when I was 15 and definitely not annoying to hang out with: "I hope everything you ever love dies in your arms." If you say the whole thing at someone's face, they will stop trying to hug you.
My first phd application is due Tuesday. Thanksgiving = WHY ARE THE LIBRARIES CLOSING? NOOOO
I'm going home anyway because it's also my stepmother's birthday and Hanukkah, so it's going to be reaaaalllly fun as they all realize I've been a neurotic monster who shouldn't be spoken to for the last couple weeks and just keep getting better every day. AT LEAST THERE'LL BE PIE.
This episode actually felt excessively Vampire Diaries-y to me: Elena Gilbert/Lena Gilbert, spooky witch haunted house basement, the Bonnie visions. It almost seemed intentional?
Not that I'm admitting to regularly hate-watching the Vampire Diaries (and now the Originals), or anything.
I've never had a corn dog.
It's not even just an issue with how awkwardly phallic they are. Hotdogs exist to put ketchup inside me, cornbread exists because the south??, and never the twain shall meet.
