Hmm I'm behind it seems, I had no idea that Edward Norton was playing The Incredible Hulk.  Interesting.  Not interested in the Hulk, but I like Edward Norton.  Interesting choice...

Preview for The Happening = *yawn* oh some kind of attack that kills people and loud noises are scary.  BORING.

The Love Guru preview = looked like Austin Powers and Mini me teamed up and created alter egos, kinda cute looking but not what I'd pay $12.50+ to see, and yeah OMFG movies at The Bridge now cost that much on a Saturday night (no idea what matinées cost).

So basically the only movie coming up anytime soon I'm sure we'll see in theaters = The Dark Knight.  It was the first time Brian saw the preview.  He decided if he saw bad guys dressed up like Joker's posse of guys, he'd wet himself :P

Once again we had to go to the Fry's store out by LAX.  Ok, so Fry's stores in general tend to be busy, etc.  But this one seriously makes me want to have major panic attacks.  I get so claustrophobic there.   Fellow customers also apparently  stressed by the so very un-customer friendly store, or perhaps just rude begin to ignore other customers like me.  They walk in straight lines.  If you're in their way they shove you, even if all of the area around you was open to walk around you.  It makes me want to go Michael Douglas circa Falling Down on them or alternatively just crawl into a cave and never see another person again as long as I live.  At least 4 people shoved me with no reason to.  Plenty of room to walk around me, me standing out of the way, not in the center of aisles, etc. I HATE PEOPLE BEING RUDE.  I mean if I see you wanting to look at stuff I'm also looking at, I move out of the way.  If I see you walking by, I make sure I'm not in your way.  If you smack into me say sorry or at least look at me with an oops look on your face.  Assholes. 

And Fry's.  Oh Fry's.  Your set up is so unfriendly.  If we want something from the shelf, no prob.  If we want something that is well controlled like RAM, big mess.  Last time Brian got charged for a more expensive MB that he wanted but was given a cheaper and slower one that happened to come in a very similar box etc.  Didn't realize til he got it home. By then you were closed and it was a holiday weekend so you wouldn't be open again until he was back at work.  Meant he'd have to take time off of work to return it during the week and couldn't as he had no working desktop machine and a freelance project he had to start.  So you screwed him and he took it and lost about $20 as that was the difference in what he paid for and got. 

This time he said he needed two sticks of this RAM.  You said ok.  You sent him to the front with paperwork for 1.  They can't edit it at the register.  Back to the back for edited paperwork.  They don't have to EDIT THE PAPERWORK.  They just have to ask them to send another stick up front.  WTF?  And if you buy something like RAM that requires paperwork you can't go buy anything else in the store because once you have a piece of paper thats an order for the check out people to use and they can't add to it, even if it's the stuff from by the register.  But if you buy just normal stuff from the shelves that doesn't require that inventory control type of paperwork, no worries you can keep shopping  but no one tells you this (we happen to know  it from previous experience).

I've ranted about this before.  Just argh.  Why must you be so convenient in SOME ways and yet such a pathetic panic inducing store in others?

News:
Nick Bollea aka Nick Hogan was sentenced to 8 months in jail + 5 years probation + lost his license for 3 years for the accident that left his friend John Graziano brain damaged.  Good.  He's lucky he didn't kill him or himself.  Hopefully he learns something and stops driving like he's on the track when on the road.

Sleep:
Couldn't sleep until 1.  Slept til 8 which is good I guess.  Hate though hours for sleep but nice amount since I haven't been sleeping straight through and it's only been 5 or 6 hours tops lately.  Lister was laying on my chest when I was falling asleep and I pissed him off because my head was some mutant form of pain alien just stabbing in pain almost causing me to twitch when I reacted he looked at me like stop it, I'm trying to sleep here.  Rude cat :P 

Brian/Plans:
Brian was talking about picking up dinner after work, then after we eat going to a 10 o'clock show of Iron Man.  I'm not usually a comic book super hero kind of girl believe it or not.  Just ther Superman ones and now SuperGirl and Batman.  Still haven't seen Spiderman, Fantastic 4, etc and no interest  But Iron Man looks good and well Robert Downey Jr. can usually make even the worst role seem good.  But it's 9:40 and Brian still not home from work with dinner so think that will be tomorrow.

We had talked about Disneyland this weekend as they have the 2fer deal going on and it's only good if you use one by the 22nd and Brian wants to force me to see the Whoopi California thing before they remove it for the park makeover  (if it's not gone already).  So I suspect we'll go next weekend maybe because I'm pretty sure we'll never pay for CA Adventure (unless the makeover is really good, but that will be years from now).  And with the 2fer specials we pay for Disneyland and then during the next month can go to CA Adventure once for free.

Hmm so that means this weekend is dentist (1 filling scheduled, still gotta figure out the others), Fry's,  Iron Man, refill Topamax, and really finish Misi's mail I hope.

Dunno why my brain aliens are so busy lately.  The one that controls sleep is a mess.  Pain  alien a mess.  General brain alien too my thoughts keep getting all muddled up and I type wrong words and yeah... argh.

Has anyone seen the movie The Darjeeling Limited?  I'd never heard of it but  now whenever we go to places like Best Buy it's the only movie that seems to jump out at me, it ends up in recommendations for me on various sites, etc.  I think I'm meant to see it but haven't really heard a review from anyone I know.  Hmm.. Suppose I'll have to check it out someday, the little I know of it seems like a me kind of movie I think.

Also since I wanted to make sure my mommy person would want what I had planned for her as a Mother's Day gift before buying it and therefore spoiled it for her already I can post it here, it's been ordered, she's getting a Genius MousePen 8X6 Graphic Tablet.  I should have just ordered it and surprised her, heh.  But ugh, wanted to be sure it wouldn't just end up on a pile of her craft stuff unused etc.  She's been drawing sun faces with a mouse, drawing with a mouse sucks. 

And while looking around Amazon (I was good, I only ordered mom's present, and added a few things to my wishlist), I think I found a  me kind of movie Brian would approve of too,  Cashback  -- how could he not like a movie with lots of naked chicks, yet the plot sounds like my kind of thing.

If you saw part 6/7 of John Adams tonight, you saw what Brian worked on and now that it has aired I can say what he worked on, the White House. 

I've slept about 2 hours in a day and a half or something? 2 days? All blends together.  The heat (90-95 the last two days), falling asleep before shot so Brian had to wake me up yesterday then not being able to fall asleep again yesterday, etc.  All bad.  So after dinner and Desperate Housewives, I plan on passing out, not sleeping, passing out cold.  MS, if it's nice, will take this exhaustion and make me sleep for 10 hours or so.  It's never that nice, but I am that out of it, I need it.  My body should be nice o me for once *nods*  Brian keeps asking if I'm ok.  I was until the lack of sleep really hit my body, now typing this is so hard to do.  I keep retyping words and still typoing.  zzzzzzzzzzz

I was flipping channels and found, on accident, that Steve from Jerry Springer has his own show now.  Something else was actually listed on the channel guide.  Not sure how it's doing in ratings since I never even heard of it (though I don't exactly follow daytime talkshows),  but it seems to be all about telling bad / abusive parents just how pathetic they are.  Not who is your daddy.  Not I cheated on you with your brother.  Just what you did or are doing to your kids is disgusting, you need help, and stop giving me your excuses.  I've known some people who needed someone as big as Steve yelling that in their faces before.

I'm dizzzy and lightheaded, but the sore throat and cough seems to be fading.  Brian's in about the same position.  It seems to be the next phase of the cold.  It's almost worse than the sore throat.  We both spent the day walking around like zombies, he even asked me something like "it's affecting your head now too?"  Usually we'd go for coffee today, he was in no shape to drive.  I somehow managed to boil eggs without breaking any but have dropped several other things today.  Argh!  Oh my body can't decide if it's hot or cold.  Which I guess is ok, I didn't realize it was either a record breaking Easter weather day or at least the hottest one in decades or something.

Watched the next part of John Adams, which I would comment on but have typed enough.  Hurt.  All blending together.  Gonna go watch tv and decide if I need sleep or not.  Not tired but too woozy to be doing anything productive.

  I've been listening to the Sweeney Todd Soundtrack , because I have gotten some of it stuck in my head (namely "A Little Priest").  And I must say, Alan Rickman, while very very very cool as an actor is not quite as cool as a singer.  

Fellow politic geeks rejoice, it's Super Tuesday!

We went and saw Sweeney Todd this past weekend. I loved it.  Brian "I'm never going to another musical anything again".   He actually seemed to like part of the story and didn't mind Johnny Depp singing, he just felt it was more of a musical that Hairspray was with less reason to be (I reminded him it started as a musical in the theater but he didn't care). 

Some bad dentist news, but being the paranoid person I am it wasn't as bad as I thought.  Still I get to go back a few times and get to have my first ever root canal... Should be thrilling :/

I've started playing apparitions, because well I love the Ghosthunters guys and am on a break from my normal game thanks to some drama I don't need there (though I'm staff, so still logging in for that aspect and to hopefully watch some truly pathetic humans self destruct).

Mijn Favoriet sent me a Christmas card that got here today.  It's a very very sweet card.  More fancy and sweet  than the usual cheesy Christmas card.  Titled May You Always Have an Angel.  Now his hand written letter assures me that while he didn't make it himself, he did pick it out all by himself ;)  So I'm just going to assume it's all what he'd have written  -- well if he were that mushy and not so sarcastic usually.  ♥  He also drew me a Yoshi, though his pen didn't listen to his request to make it red for the holiday, how rude of it, heh.  Mijn Favoriet rocks.  Hmm not to question his motives or anything but I must wonder if he was trying to be super sweet and show off his sweet side via a card... or if he was just trying to beat T in the awwww this is such a good card Ramie will be MY Angel department *smirk*

In other news, went shopping, saw a man throwing things and yelling about how this is America when the cashier didn't bother to tell all of the people in line she'd "been closed for awhile".  Got cute shoes.  Got blonde hair dye so I can go orange again (Brian, oddly enough, likes it better than red while finding it too bright until I shampoo it once or twice he still does think it looks good on me).  Got some bras.  Got the kitties a tall cat climbing post w/ perch to replace the cardboard box lister had been sitting on since it got thrown out once we removed the Christmas presents from it.  Watched the 3rd Pirates movie. 

Remember when you asked me if you'd live to see the movie because I told you it'd be released in Summer 2009?
Well, I might have lied.  You have to live until December 2009 now if you plan to see it :P  Apparently Brian knew a few days ago, but it hadn't been announced so couldn't tell me... It's been announced now, so yeah Christmas movie season 2009 book your seat in the theater now... I think.   I asked Brian if he's SURE it will be done before Keegan graduated high school *grin*
