Middle-aged woman on her cell: Where are you? Don't get the pizza, it's too many calories. Just get a salad or something. Well, I only say that because I had a nightmare last night where you got big. It was awful. Oh, honey, come on I love you, stop.
I'm just saying, if you had a dream that a building was collapsing and a guy was about to walk into it, wouldn't you say "stop"? Well, then we agree.

Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.  Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.-Roald Dahl

09:52 pm - Testicles doesn't rhyme with Hercules.

Steve and I went to see the Dark Knight last weekend. It was enjoyable, even if we saw it late at night (11pm - shut up, we're getting old) and he had trouble staying awake. I certainly liked it better than I liked the previous one (there was even a holy-shit-it's-not-quite-Batgirl! moment, which makes everything ten times better for me), but as I've always been a Marvel girl, I had a hard time liking it more than I liked Iron Man. Yes, Dark Knight is the better dramatic piece. Yes, the acting was better. Yes, it was prettier. But you say these things like I care. srslywoah.

Tonight, we are going to see the new X-Files movie with Matt and Serena. It will be the most awesome thing since awesome came to awesome town. I predict (and I've remained almost entirely spoiler-free just to rock it old school, so these are actual predictions) that this movie will suck ass just as much as the last one (which I loved, by the way), it will continue to flog the dead horse that it was flogging since 1999, and it will be generally terrible. But again, I don't care.

Finally, I bought Dalek a new cat toy - a mouse with fun fur feet and hands attached to an elasticized string. It is ded-of-win. srsly.

Edit: XF2 was pretty great, actually. I'm sort of shocked. I liked it better than anything from the last two seasons. Steve, typically, didn't like it. And is being very vocal about it.

Remember how I was all miserable? Luckily I remembered that I am a complete bad ass and I don't need nothing or nobody. I'm such a bad ass that I went to the dry cleaners AND picked up carry out Kung Pao Chicken. I'm such a bad ass that I then proceeded to watch "Hope Floats," cried for the entire two hours and loved every f-ing minute of it.

Now I'm gonna eat a cookie and go to bed. That's how bad ass I am!

Man, people wish they were as bad ass as me.

Man, watching display for track announcement: Oh, look, it says "Stand by"! Here it comes! Whaddaya think it'll be? I'm betting on 9.
Woman: Oh, I say 10. What do you think, mom?
Older woman: Er, 11.
Man: How about you, Fred*?
Older man, not very interested: 5, I guess.
Man: 9 comes up a lot. I take this train all the time and it's almost always 9. I'll give you 2 to 1 odds on 5, though. 2 to 1, Fred*.
(older man ignores him)
Man: Come on 9! Damn it, now that guy's standing right in front of it. Do you believe that? Down in front! Go 9!

06:38 pm - Music quiz! Let's see what you can guess.

So, inspired by sabotabby, I'm going to list lines of lyrics from some music that I have and/or listen to and see if you can guess it. After someone guesses it, I'll edit to add their name next to the tune. You get one point for artist and one point for song. The one with the most points wins a prize. Some of these will be obscure and some will not. I will try to make them in English as much as possible. Don't cheat by googling!

See below the cut, and then answer in comments:

( Guess the music! )

I tried to mix up the genres, let's see how you do.

Blonde: Oh, that uncle? That's not so bad then. I'd fuck him if he was my uncle.

since im so posty...wedding mishaps:

It was soo windy in the back of the house on the lake our tent to shield us from the rain blew away. We could not get married where we wanted. we improvised and went to the front. Which meant all decor was very last minute, nothing was where it should be. we had to eat inside etc.

speaking of last minute, Gail had to make me a bouquet the night before cause of my issue with idobouquets. (It was gorgeous though)

Beaus mom was over an hour late. The food got there before she did. But the preacher was so nice and came back. we almost had to start without her (and beaus little bro who was a groomsman) though.

The weather held up just long enough for the ceremony but it was very rainy (pretty much the only rain that month)

I unintentionally flashed my grandfather when i hugged him. stupid body tape not working.

*EDIT* Ohh and Beaus best man lost the rings till like 5 minutes before the ceremony

I'm dedicating tonight to not feeling good. The happier way to say that is that I dedicate tonight to resting so I can feel better. Unfortunately, what I feel is not good. Not good. Did I say not good?

It's Friday night and I'm dizzy and running a fever. I'm sick, lonely and dejected.

There should be some sort of service that I could call. Someone nice would come over to take my temperature and pat me on the head. They'd also bring Chinese food and a DVD.

Man, I don't even have any cash for delivery.

This sucks.

Whine, whine, whine. Is it any wonder I'm so popular? Maybe I just need to drink whiskey -- the alcohol will purify me.
