My head is still dancing with Felicia Day in a shower of gold guild coins.
Playing the waiting gameThis is by far the best (and addicting) video I've seen this week. Suggestively lewd geek humor is the best. I still can't get this song out of my head.
I've finally started The Time Traveler's Wife and while I'm only 100ish pages in so far it's lived up to the praise. I'm really enjoying it. It's been a while since I've read a book that's made me look so forward to the bus ride home so that I can continue reading.
This week I also went and saw District 9 which was also great. The plot wasn't anything like I thought it would be -- much more of a documentary than anything like the suspenseful, thriller sci-fi flicks I'm used to (though with the at times almost dizzying camera shaking from Cloverfield.) I liked the aliens; poor Christopher Johnson's drive and motivation to return home and save his people and his love for his son (adorable!) managed to make him seem so human. It was a very different and fresh kind of alien movie. I both hope and dread for a future sequel.
Someone should come with me to see both The Time Traveler's Wife movie (though I'll probably kick myself for going to see it after I've already immersed myself in the novel), as well as Julie & Julia, because Meryl Streep is just piles of win in anything she has a lead role in. Hilarity and awesomeness can only follow.
We finally sold our old tv! Or at least I hope we actually do. The woman who's buying it is driving in all the way over from Lloydminister so she must want it pretty bad. *Looks at clock* She needs to speed it up though or I'm selling it to the guy next in line. Once that giant monstrosity is finally out of our house we can finally buy living room furniture! *Joy* I'm also in need of some nice fake plants for around the house to bring some much-needed green inside, but not inevitably kill. Anyone know where I can find some nice ones at really cheap prices?
Oh god the poor flowers my Mom gave me out in the front of the house are dead already. Oh god oh god oh god. There must be a special little corner of hell reserved for awful people like me who kill flowers, surrounded forever by hellfire and brimstone and piles of dead pansies and tulips. D: *Crafts pots filled with little paper flowers in hopes that her mother won't notice.*
why not get real plants?
You can get "resistant" plants, all you need to do is water them once a week! Look at how nice all our plants are.
I swear though I kill any living green thing that comes near me, and then I feel bad about it. ;_; Much less guilt and depressing wilting with fake plants.
i am definitely interested in seeing Julie & Julia - my love for a) cooking and b) Meryl Streep can't hold me back. i actually think i may have hoodwinked dave into seeing Time Traveler's Wife (srsly). i'll probably cry and embarass myself.
and i find kijiji buyers to be so flaky. i sold a bunch of my furniture and stuff when i moved last year (a dresser, microwave, dishwasher) and only ended up in selling the dresser after many failed attempts. the dishwasher got sold a year later after i downed the price by half. boo for unreliability!
oh - and go to Michaels or Dollarama (srsly) for fake flowers that you can arrange in nice vases and stuff. i don't advocate real plants simply because i do not have a green thumb, nor am i tolerant enough to repot them when they're too big, feed them when they get wilty or trim them when they need trimming. hence my love for beautiful big silk flowers. just give them a dust every now and then and laugh when people ask if they're real (it's happened to me before.... one guy actually leaned forward and smelled one of my fake orchids. SO FUNNY.)
We should try to see J&J this next week~
UGH. The woman from kijiji DID NOT SHOW TONIGHT. Stupid woman. Her loss. I've messaged back another guy who was willing to pay full price for it and hopefully he replies back to me.
*Gasp* You're right, Michaels totally has plants. Do you know how much they cost? The website for what I'm sure are stupid reasons do not list prices at all. *Glower face* I should go down and check them out.
UM, where'd you get the book from? I WANNA BORROW WHEN YOU'RE DONE? Pu-leeeeease? *bats eyelashes prettily*
You'd have to ask Sarah *points above*, it's her book. ^^;
