Random Thoughts Thursday

A "this week has been brought to you by the color gray" edition

* Hmmm. I seem to remember a blinding yellow light thingy in the sky. ... Perhaps it was my imagination.

* My flowers are growing and I don't have to water much, though. See? Bright side!

* The new-ish barista at one of my frequented coffee shops said he'll remember my name because it's weird. I'll remember his 'cuz he was rude.

* My waiter at Chili's was practically mute. I kind of like them better that way.

* The Dunkin Donuts guy has a crush on me. Last time I ordered the 6 for $3, he gave me 7, and a smile. Mm hmm.

* Wal-mart *shudder* (I can't believe I'm cheating on Target with this store) has Pop Tarts(tm) for $1.50!

* "Gilmore Girls" mistake: Lorelai said when she ate Pop Tarts(tm) as a kid, she couldn't wait to unwrap the silver package. NO! When we were kids, the package was thicker and white and had a silver lining!

* Frosted Chocolate Fudge. Mmmmmmmm.

* I haven't had lunch yet. Hence the hunger posts. Moving on.

* I will be in the presence of the Psychedelic Furs this weekend, taking me back to 1986 in my head.

* Being able to enjoy the music and the awesome band without teasing my bangs for an hour and using an entire can of Aqua Net before putting on my one glove, mis-matched earrings, leggings, and net shirt a la Madonna circa 1984? Priceless.

Movie Mania!
Featuring the TLJ-
Roger Ebert 4-star system.
Usually, Rog and I agree. Usually.

The Dark Knight
TLJ: 3.5 stars
Ebert: 4 stars
I agree, it's an "engrossing tragedy." A great film that makes you think.

I Love You, Man
TLJ: 3 stars
Ebert: 3.5 stars
I liked it, too, Rog, but not as much as you. Yes, you're right -- Jason Segel is my new favorite guy though I do still love my Paul Rudd, too. I laughed enough that I was happy I rented it. Corny, silly, but smart in places, too.

Ballerina
TLJ: 2.5 stars
Ebert: No review online
This movie followed the ballerinas of the Russian Kirov and other ballets from youth to company. I liked learning how much the dancers sacrificed, how perfectionistic they are (even more than they're teachers and choreographers), and how dedicated, but what was missing? Dancing! They kept teasing me with brief pieces from various ballets. I wanted to see more of the payoff of their hard work.
