That's awesome.

(Our restaurant is in walking distance of an assisted living center so many of regulars are special needs adults. We get a regular group of four people who have to make their order the same way every time. The routine involves the four of them reading the menu board for about five minutes and then one of them ordering each of them a hamburger individually.)

Me: “Hey! What can I get you?”

Special Needs Adult: “I would like a hamburger and a hamburger and a hamburger and a hamburger.”

(An agitated customer who has been standing in line behind the group the entire time chimes in.)

Customer: “He would like four hamburgers. Can we hurry this up?”

Special Needs Adult: “No! I would like a hamburger and a hamburger and a hamburger and a hamburger.”

Customer: “Oh my god!”

Me: “So if I got this right you would like a hamburger and a hamburger and a hamburger and a hamburger?”

Special Needs Adult: “Yes, that’s right!”

Me: “You know what I think you need? A high five!”

Special Needs Adult: “You know I do!”

(I high five the guy over the counter and the other three all take a turn getting a high five.)

Customer: “This is just ridiculous!” *storms out of the store*

I think finishing the last book made my brain throw up.

So far this morning I have:

1. Printed out calenders for the rest of the year so I can figure out Mary's entire first semester of school for The Hollow Girl.
2. Printed out a random course list so I can plan out what classes she's taking.
3. Started looking for a map of the area to NO NO WTF WHY IS THE POWER GOING OUT AAARRRRRGGGGH.

And it's NOT Monday? Oh, come on.

I am getting waaaay too much done on this. It's a little weird, actually. I never get this much done before starting a book. Huh. (Okay, technically I have the first three chapters done. Close enough.)

WHAT WHAT WHAT.

Samuel L. Jackson and Renny Harlin are in talks to revisit their 1996 action movie The Long Kiss Goodnight without the director's former leading lady and ex-wife Geena Davis.

Jackson has been quietly developing the project with Harlin for the past two years, and now the moviemaker reveals he has a storyline for a sequel, which would revolve around the Pulp Fiction star's character, Mitch Henessey.

The Finnish filmmaker tells MovieHole.net, "I do have a storyline for it that I worked out and I know exactly what would happen and I think it would be fantastic.

"I can reveal as much as saying it would be Sam Jackson crossing paths with Geena Davis' daughter from the first movie, who, in the first movie was about six years old, and who would now be about 19 or 20."

Harlin insists he is very interested in making the sequel - because The Long Kiss Goodnight is his favourite film experience.

He adds, "It’s a movie that had a really good screenplay, which meant that I was able to get really good actors... When you have characters that are complex and you have good drama, and some humour and some good action, you kind of have all the ingredients... It was a great experience.''

... oh, my god, Renny Harlin's been writing Long Kiss Goodnight fanfic, hasn't he? NOT THAT I'M COMPLAINING.

I should watch that movie today. Hell, I should watch that movie every day.

... okay

This is Jacob's recaplet of last night's Gossip Girl for TWoP.

Now I'm just curious.

Not that I'm not all for smart meta, but ... Gossip Girl? Really?

Then again, I will admit I feel smarter when I watch Gossip Girl than I do when I switch over to Heroes afterwards. So there's that.

So I don't forget to do it again ...

Current getyourwordsout count:



Hopefully I'll get started on The Hollow Girl tomorrow. The rest of today is probably going to be me scheduling the whole damn thing and getting as many details straight as possible.
