It is one of those days where breakfast for dinner had to happen. Breakfast meaning a croissant-egg-ham thing from Jack in the Box and hash brown sticks that I carried home in a greasy bag. Eaten in my bed, with no pants on, while watching a dumb horror movie. That's right.
Oh, I've watched a few movies this month. Instead of just listing them like I usually do, I'll accompany them with reviews.
Sex and the City
Why do girls wear high heels? I don't understand.
Maxed Out
A good movie to have on in the background while you are shelling peas or plucking your eyebrows. Something to just listen to and get mad at.
Georgia Rule
Georgia is one of those states where, when I think of states that I want to visit, I always forget that one. Georgia and ... I can't remember the name of the other state.
You Don't Mess With the Zohan
Delaware! I alway forget Delaware.
Click
I used to go to Bed, Bath & Beyond to use their scales, because I don't have one of my own. When I was curious about what I weighed. Most BB&Bs are layed out the same, so usually, you can find their scales in the first aisle to your right after the cash registers, near the bathroom products.
Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired
The first Roman Polanski film I ever saw was Death and the Maiden, of all things, starring Sigourney Weaver.
Black Snake Moan
The first Christina Ricci film I ever saw was Mermaids, starring Cher. I used to like that Winona Ryder's character would say the Lord's Prayer, because I knew the Lord's Prayer, too, and would say it over and over when I was younger. I've had it memorized since I was in kindergarten, because I went to a Catholic private school, and the nuns made us memorize it. They also made us learn how to dance properly (which I've forgotten how), and how to print nicely (which I still do very well).
Stephanie Daley
I'm so glad I'm not a teenager anymore.
You, Me and Dupree
When I was young, my hair was really, really straight. When I was in 3rd grade or so, I got a perm, then another perm a year later. Ever since then, my hair has been wavy/curly if I don't blow-dry and straighten it every morning. I didn't know perms could last decades! What the heck. My hair sometimes looks like Goldie Hawn's daughter's hair, who is in this movie, except mine is dark brown (black) and not nearly as neat. And it's also shorter. OK, it looks nothing like Goldie Hawn's daughter's hair. In conclusion, don't get a perm.
Two-Lane Blacktop
The last 15 seconds of this film is pretty neat. Also, a singer plays a hippie in it.
The Bucket List
My list would probably include all kinds of food things. Go to a very expensive restaurant with the Majer -- the kind where you can get 18 small courses and they just bring stuff out to you on little plates, and you eat it and everything is paired with wine. Try truffles. Eat really good sushi -- so good that it makes me forget that I don't like sushi. Visit a country just to eat our way around it. Learn to bake a really good loaf of bread from scratch.
Dan in Real Life
It was OK.
Vacancy
One time when I was, like, 9 years old, I was listening to the radio, and the DJ said something about how 9-1-1 (the emergency number) was going to be changed to a different number. So I dialed it to make sure, and the operator answered: "9-1-1, what's your emergency?" And I slammed the phone down and ran away from it. It took me by suprise (that someone answered it). But the operator called back, and my mom answered, and I could hear her talking to the operator: "Well, I don't think anyone here called you," my mom was saying. And I burst into tears because I thought I was going to get in trouble, and after my mom got off the phone, she explained that 9-1-1 can trace calls. It turned out that the radio DJ was playing an April Fool's joke (I had forgotten that it was April 1st), but ever since then, I've always felt strangely safe that 9-1-1 would be able to find me, even if I never said a word.
