Know what's more boring than facing the store for six hours? Facing the store for eight hours. That's it. Nothing else. Sure, for about ten seconds I folded towels [badly], but otherwise nothing but trying to appear busy. That was so fucking boring that I longed for customers.
But now I get to introduce you to the nutty dude. This guy comes in once or week or so. For the people who watched Wonderfalls think Eric, the bartender dude. Only less Hollywood and most likely older. Got that? Good. He'll come in and spend an hour and a half in the store. I haven't a clue what he does, just wanders around and around. I can't remember if he's the guy with the kid, but I think that's someone else. Anyway, the last time he kept adding things to his pile of stuff at the last second and he sings along to the store radio and is fascinated by the Prince Albert in a can.
So he came in last night and was very chatty. Seems to think he's the craziest person I know. I had to let him down about that, but I did offer him a spot on the top ten. I can't really get the whole crazy vibe to you, just know that he's wacky. It's very weird. He's nice and he definitely helps to make the time go by faster.
he can tell me what to do but he can't tell me what to feel
More work tonight. If I get any more little old ladies asking me whether I'm in college or not, I may kill myself. Especially if coupled with the grandmotherly advice to lose weight. I just stood there, in shock that a) this woman honestly seemed to think that at 15 I'd be working the overnight shift at any store and b) that I look anywhere near fifteen. And then she kicks me in the shins with the whole "well then you should know better than to weigh that much" kind of thing. Oh.My.God.
Onward.
Angel:
Caught up with last week's episode just before the new one. Amy Acker continues to make me think of Xena everytime she speaks the Illyria way, and I'm wishing someone would have spruced up the Smurf makeup because as the weeks tick by it gets less geekishly pretty and more "ho hum, I desperately need a shower."
The Buffy/Immortal gig was weird. I laughed and then lapsed into thinking, "Why is Andrew out with chicks?" Next episode:
Saw the 'twist' in general coming with the Is Angel Evil gig. Not the cause of the twist, but the twist nonetheless. Wolfy!Girl does nothing for me. I felt no need for them to bring her back. *shrug* She just does nothing for me. At least with Angel & Cordy I was amazed at the complete lack of sparkage until the end. Hrmm. Liked things. Didn't like things. Liked the snark on the "why the need to tie up lose threads now?" and the way everyone kept saying Bandicoot.
Sigh. What am I going to do next year? Every year I get a new slot in my TV viewing schedule and every year all the hopefuls die a horrific death. But, according to TV Guide, Scrubs has been renewed, so I can die happy.
Tired again. Also thirsty. Pray tonight doesn't suck. And that I survive until my giant break next Wednesday.
*hugs and shtuff*
Wait. Not leaving yet. Movie!
Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed:
Because I'm one of those people who will see certain things a million times if it will convert someone to my way of thinking, I should warn you I've seen the original five times by now. For me, this is a lot for a movie I don't own. Anyway, last Friday when Ryan and I realized there was no way in hell we'd make it to see Taking Lives, we settled for renting a flick. I tried to convince him he really wanted to see R.S.V.P. but that didn't work so well as it was located near a bunch of porn flicks so his attention was divided. We bypassed Tomb Raider 2 for some reason, and by the we got to the G's [moving backwards] I was beginning to think we'd never find something. And then aha! Ginger Snaps 2! Which he seemed kind of hesitant to see, but dammit, I watched more hours of Adult Swim than I thought humanly possible. Plus found Ginger Snaps so he could see the first in case the second required any knowledge of it. Yay!
For those who need a tiny bit of backstory: Ginger and B [not gonna butcher the spelling of her name, besides, Ginger calls her B and if it's good enough for Ginger...] are two very, very nutty sisters who've made a pact to die with one another. They really hate their town and people in general. This leads to an amazing opening title sequence in the first flick and basically all you need to know is that they're a united front. Until Ginger finally gets the curse! [her period] and is attacked by a werewolf, effectively changing her. She starts to turn and becomes a different person. B is left trying to figure out how to save her sister.
( Spoilers )
Sum it up for those who no clickie: Liked the movie. Not enough to not be mad that Movie Gallery thinks they're Blockbuster and as such should just renew your freakin' rentals for another week instead of a dollar or two fine. I hate that. It's just wrong.
