beer

I decided out of the blue to run to the convenience store and buy beer. I usually don't drink, but I figure if beer is good enough for Belgian schoolchildren, it's good enough for me. I'd been all, "whoa, I drink fruit juice instead of soda most of the time, therefore I'm living healthier!" Of course, that's hardly been a strict policy lately, what with there being a Coke machine at work but no juice machine, and a candy machine too. There's a few bucks in my wallet so I just head out the door without my wallet.

Whoops, it turns out you need ID to buy beer. But, but... Belgian schoolchildren!

Channel 12 is airing an infomercial for a car dealership.

I've never met anyone who bought their car over the phone at 2:55 in the morning. Yet it must be working, otherwise they wouldn't do it.

What else is special about this infomercial, is that there are commercials in it. Small single commercials, or at least one such for the Marines that I observed. I've only been watching for two or three minutes.

5:00 AM. Which means if I can fall asleep in eight minutes, eight hours of sleep (much needed) would get me up at 1:00 PM. Which would leave me 90 minutes to get ready, loosen up, and get a cab to lindy hop class tomorrow, assuming I can get out of bed immediately, instead of over the course of an hour like usual.

Fuck them up their stupid asses.

Saw J&SBSB a second time. Now I can't stand them. The movie just seemed so insanely tedious this time.

I didn't even get to read the credits; it turns out I can't read credits that fast from a movie screen.

I was kind of half-hoping I'd start hating the movie, since it is, after all, sophomoric, and I've been talking about it way too much. Unfortunately, now I"m embarrassed for having talked about it as much as I have, at least on Livejournal. My only consolation is that after a few months of the kind of journals I post, my fellow Livejournalers could never think any less of me.

Besides which, there's more to the day which I will now segregate into other Livejournal posts.

Planet of the Apes

I finally saw the movie, in hopes that it would be any good, aside from also freeing me from having to say "OH I HAVEN'T SEEN IT!" when people talk about how fucked-up the ending is.

Here is a spoiler-free synopsis:

First 10 minutes: Exposition
Next 20 minutes: Another exposition, which exposes very little.
Next hour: Trudging through the plot.
Next 30 minutes: Cilmax and denouement
Next 5 minutes: Fucked-up ending.

Maybe I should ses a good movie now.
