Inanely Detailed

Okay, so I lied. I was lured away by new templates. For now my new blog is Infinity Waits. We'll see how long I stick with that name...and blog address.

CRUELTY

Death and menses, is there anything more cruel?

WEDNESDAYS

I hate working Wednesdays. More so than any other day, x's a billion. Wednesday means the Powerball goes out...and all the slow, old assholes come out. Also the overly picky middle-aged women equipped with 8 thousand tickets for me to check...bc clearly she is the most important person in the store. The 8 people in line behind her actually purchasing things can just wait.

Wednesday is also a truck day, which means the time I'm not printing and checking tickets I get to spend in the cooler organizing random crap. Today the jackpot is $124million, which doesn't even sound like a real number to me. It took me an hour to finish my cup of Ramen, it was so busy. And when this cute guy came in I was barely able to flirt. Sad day.

I hate Wednesdays.

OBSESSION WITH THE WIND

The past week or so, I have become increasingly obsessed with Gone With The Wind the movie, and all things related to it. Possibly to an unhealthy degree. Last week, I'm pretty sure I watched all 4 hours of it at least once a day. Then I decided to read the 823 page sequel called Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley. That was a somewhat reckless undertaking, and though I finished it in 2ish days, my eyes hurt abominably afterwards. Now I am going to attempt to read the book, Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell which has 1037 pages. Hopefully I find time to sleep this week.

Just today I found out that they made a mini-series out of Scarlett, however, after reading the wiki entry, I am not at all interested in seeing it. It doesn't have Vivien Leigh or Clark Gable, so I'm pretty sure it would be disappointing even if it did faithfully follow the book. Which apparently it does not.

So anyway, I'm mostly excited to read the book, though a little apprehensive it will make me like the movie less. Sometimes that happens, you know. Hopefully the book clears up some questions I have concerning the different motives of the characters. I mean, in a general sense the movie is clear, but everyone knows books are much better for getting to know a character. And I do need to clear up a thing between Scarlett and Melanie.

Personally, I think Melanie was a sweet, proper, generous Southern Belle. However, she was also weak and incredibly reliant upon Scarlett. As far as the movie goes, Scarlett is largely painted as this strong willed, but selfish and terrible sort of girl and Melanie is the saint. I think Melanie was a little less saintly, honestly. I'm pretty sure she knew Scarlett was her ticket to survival and that's why she was so quick to overlook Scarlett's love of Ashley and etc...

Which of course matters not at all. I'm just obsessing. Hopefully I will get over it after I've finished reading 1037 pages. Oh, sweet baby jeeebus.

TOTAL RECALL

I heard they were making a Total Recall remake a while back, but kind of forgot about it. The other day I randomly remembered and decided to look into it. Apparently Colin Farrell is supposed to be Quaid. I just don't see it. I just, really can't. Hopefully it turns out to be a decent movie, but I just can't imagine this movie without Arnold Schwarzenegger. My mind refuses to do so. And Colin Farrell? Really? Don't get me wrong, I love Colin Farrell...in Daredevil. However, I can't really see him starring in a role that was once Arnold's.

Not that Arnold is like the best actor in the universe, but he is one of the actors I love the most. Despite the love child. I couldn't care less about the love child thing. I grew up watching awesomely cheesy action flicks with Arnold, so I love him. The fact that they've already remade Conan The Barbarian kinda blows my mind. I haven't seen the remake, don't know if I want to. Okay, I might want to, I heard it was pretty epic. And that Momoa guy is super hot. But still. You know where my loyalty lies.

I mean, come on, who doesn't love the Governator? Heathens, that's who!

REVIVAL? AND CREEPYNESS

So...after a very very long hiatus I have loosely decided to start blogging again. We'll see how long I stick to that. I thought about making a whole new blog, but I already have about 5 and that seems like too many, so why not just use what's already there? So, I am continuing my blogging presence. Not that anyone is still reading me. Shit, not like anyone really did in the first place. Derp. Anyway, I'm reviving my blog with *drum roll* Things that creep me out!

1. Men with long fingernails. Just...why?
2. Adult braces. Thems your teeth, people, deal with it.
3. People who call me "sweetie" "honey" "baby" "darling" or any other pet name. The creep factor is quadrupalled when I don't actually know the person who is calling me by them.
4. Too much eye contact. I mean, really. Blink or something.
5. Soul patches and chin pubes. Just because.
6. "Gummers": People with no teeth or missing teeth above the age of 7.
7. People who waddle.
8. Dog saliva.

...and that's all for now folks!

STAGNATION

I think that I hate 80% of the people I am around on a daily basis. Today is no different. I need a change of...environment. This one is stagnant.
