I think I'll go curl up in bed with a notebook and Bulletproof Monk. That sounds so uncomfortable out of context, and yet ... *happy sigh* Maybe I'll just leave the notebook behind, since God knows I'll probably fall asleep halfway through. (And that's because I'm tired, not because it sucks. Although who knows? That might be a mitigating factor.)

Also, forgot to mention that in my continuing quest to own the world's largest collection of "OMG we're all goin 2 die + it really happened WTF?!?!!1!" books, I picked up "The Circus Fire" about the Ringling Brothers' fire in Hartford in 1944. Really interesting reading so far, although I must admit I had to giggle at the throwaway remark that to circus folk, Scranton was a jinx town. I felt like calling the author and calmly explaining to him that Scranton is a jinx town to everyone.

EDIT: Oh, and ... er, I joined johnxjohn. It was an accident, I swear. I tripped and fell on it, and ... uh, Edwards and Kerry latched onto me and wouldn't let go. Yeah. Right.

SON OF EDIT: I can't look at photos of the two of them anymore without some saucy song playing in my head. The last one I saw had the two of them smiling and clapping, and in my head, Edwards broke out in, "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard ..."

Just out of curiosity, should I seek medical attention for that?

Watching "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" where they go door-to-door and kick the asses of all the Internet idiots. It's possible I get far too much enjoyment out of this sequence.

Fuckin' clown shoes. *snerk*

Well, back from the mall. Instead of getting a DVD stand, which can wait, I got Jurassic Park and the PoA computer game, which ... er, can't. (Note to Suncoast: You're killin' me here, people. I should not have to wander over to Best Buy to find a copy of Jurassic Park.) I also picked up the latest issue of People, which has an exclusive interview with Britney and Kevin that's guaranteed to lower your IQ, induce vomiting, raise your blood sugar, and warp the minds of fragile little children all in one fell swoop.

Also ducked into Linens N' Things and got a Chinese lantern-type lamp and a squishy little pillow. *snuggles pink squishy pillow*

EDIT: Note to self ... add The Core to the list of movies to review. Dude, that one's just asking for it.

Just finished straightening up my DVD collection and updating the list. I really should tell my aunt Phyllis to start doing inventory on her DVD collection on a computer, since she's always complaining how she lists hers in a notebook by hand and you can't really alphabetize them nicely like that.

*snerk* Being an obsessive geek is a family trait.

What. The. FUCK.

Okay, look. Let me help you idiots out, since I'm really starting to think you've got the attention span of a puppy. You do not take away our elections.

I'm going to repeat that, but with more cursewords. You asswipes do not take away our fucking elections.

Remember a few years ago, when we had that big nasty terrorist attack and you all made such a big stink about us going about our normal business afterwards because if we didn't, the terrorists win? You can't do that, and then wait until now, scream at the top of your lungs, "OMGWTF teh skye is fallin!!1!1!!", and say, "Well, I guess we're just not going to have elections this year." NO. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

And I'll tell you right now, I'd be saying the same shit even if I were voting for you. Expounding on the superiority of democracy to every other country on the planet and then even so much as thinking about cancelling the elections? That takes such incredble balls, I can't begin to describe it. *seethes for the rest of the night*

Just finished watching the special edition version of "Independence Day". Not going to talk about the movie just yet, but I had to mention one thing.

When I was waiting to get started, I put on the "Inside Look" link thinking it was about the movie. And it turned out it's not -- it's a three-minute behind-the-scene featurette on The Day After Tomorrow.

My squeals of geekitude were, I'm sure, able to be heard by dogs in three counties.

Cicadas heading underground until 2021.

And like any other sane person, my instant reaction to that headline was, "They totally need to do a Sealab episode about that! Where the cicadas come out and everybody goes fuckin' apeshit! Screaming and Muppet arms, I'm telling you!"

EDIT: Also, with the PoA computer game, there's a challenge where you're an itty bitty bunny rabbit for a third of it. I think I love that challenge more than life itself.
