apocalypsos | (no subject)

So I'm back from Hitchhiker's Guide, and can I just say how brutally disappointed I was that instead of the Serenity trailer on the big screen, I got The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl? Bite me, movie theater employees. Grrrr.

But then the movie started, and yea, it made me giggle and snerk for two hours. I was horribly tempted to reread the book before I went to see it, since I haven't read it in years, but I decided against it because I had a feeling I'd like it if I just let myself go with it and didn't nitpick. And yay, I loved it. Especially Ford, because Mos Def was just way too cool, and Marvin. (Marvin! *squeals, then hugs the poor, depressed android*) Also, I want a Hitchhiker's Guide ... right now. No, now. Seriously, GIMME.

Then I went to Borders and committed minor acts of commerce. I finally got around to picking up a copy of Lucifer's Hammer, which everybody and their brother has suggested to me, and I picked up the new Lynn Kurland book. Which, okay, they're pretty much all the same, but there's time travel nearly every time, which is my other bulletproof non-sexual kink in stories.

I also have strawberry banana yogurt, so, you know, I've got that going for me.

Oh, and did I mention the dumbass kid at the metro who jumped onto the tracks between trains to pick up some loose change that somebody else must have tossed down there? And then he crawled back onto the platform and showed his findings to somebody else as if they were going to be impressed.

Somebody else's pocket contents: forty-three cents.
A copy of the next volume of "The Darwin Awards" with your name in it to proudly present to your parents: fifteen dollars.
A mop, some soap, and a bucket of water: twenty bucks.
Having to be squeegeed off a metro platform after you've been creamed by a yellow-line train: priceless.

EDIT: *headsmack*

OTHER EDIT: Am watching A Series of Unfortunate Events while I work on editing The Monsters of Moosic. I know it's pretty obvious considering I have two icons on her, but Sunny is SO my favorite. :)
