6 Famously Terrible Movies That Were Almost Awesome

It's the Robin Hood entry that both made me squee and pissed me off at the same time. Goddamn it, I want to see what that movie could have been. It sounds wonderful.

Is it wrong that I could totally adore living in that apartment?

Don't get me wrong. I'd like my own bathroom, I want to be able to actually cook on a real stove, and there's no way I could keep all of my pets in there. That said, I have the hardest time wrapping my brain around huge living spaces. The house I grew up in was pretty compact and I loved it. I don't need a lot of space, and frankly get a little uncomfortable in big houses. I feel like I'm going to clutter the hell out of a place if I have more room. Hell, the apartment I have now is two bedrooms and it spans the entire top floor of the building I live in. It's a bit big for me alone, but for $425 a month it's worth it to have the place to myself. (I don't think I could have a roommate anymore, at least one that's not of the small furry purring variety.)

But that place is so cute! My brother and I once talked about our dream houses, and we both agreed we would totally choose a really small one-room house over a huge sprawling mansion even if we won the Powerball tomorrow. Granted, he said it's just because he'd simply be happy as long as he had a place for his video games and I said I wanted a wee little stone cottage-type place with lots of flowers outside and lots of books inside, but still. (Yes, apparently I want to live in a Thomas Kinkaid painting. I don't even know, you guys.)

In other news, I hate budgeting and I hate money and some days I'm really sorely tempted to make a website that just has a picture of Deb from Empire Records sitting in front of that jar that says "GIVE ME MONEY", link it all to a Paypal account, and see what happens.

Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

Oh, and also, I lowered the price of the ebook edition of Heroine Addiction to $2.99 on Amazon and Lulu now that there's a paperback edition available. Did you like it? Buy a copy for your friends! :)

I'm sorely tempted to buy a bunch of paperback copies and leave them random places to see what happens. The downside is that I'm not sure how much good it would do in northeastern Pennsylvania. Maybe if I still lived in DC, or if I took a trip to New York City and did it. Alas, I can't afford to go to either place. Which sucks, because I could use an actual vacation, as opposed to taking a day off so I can cut up vegetables for party snacks for my mom. *sigh*
