mom placation was ironing by which mens perrypops in a womansuit is the new child mystericating teats that can taint baconated digestive broads plastercasting gnostically from the great gospel wwjh

thats because my mom is awesome.

that response was for sara, you cad.

It's true about John's mom. (the nice stuff)

She also said nice things about John's mom's hair.

(which are also true)

Next I have to go to the dentist, where no one knows anyone I know, plus they insist on unpleasantly scraping my teeth and stuff. SIGH

Sequel to the thing I dealt with last week.

Ned, it's really interesting to read about your small part in all that, and I'm sure that Lindon's family appreciated what you did. They should! I hate to think of you agonizing over "should I have done that" last week.

I was wrong about knowing no one at the dentist's office; the lady who cleans my teeth is somehow related by marriage to one of my cousins. That sort of makes up for me needing a filling (ugh).

man day off is so nice. interview + mani/pedi + lovely lunch + coffee + window shopping + later going to see BATMANG. i wish all days were like this, except i'd go broke very quickly.

Sounds awesome! I am envying!!!

BATMANG

unemployment is (perversely) prohibitively expensive. although i did discover today that it is considerably cheaper to go to the cinema during office hours.

so have you had the interview tehresa? how'd it go? i have another one tomorrow. unlike the two last week I'm pretty confident I could actually do this job.

for real, though; BATMANG

BATMANG

xp good luck with your interview, Nick!

Whoa, just finished watching Sweeney Todd.

Pretty good!

Guys.
BATMANG.

good luck on your interview, nick!

mine was this am. went very well. am feeling hopeful for 2nd round (and hoping that his mention of 2nd round is a sign i'd be a candidate, - why talk about 'next steps' if uninterested, right? please say yes).

Yes on the BATMANG and all that.

VOTE YES ON PROP. BATMANG!

ned, i think you did a very good, helpful thing and were totally respectful about it, i'm sure it was appreciated very much.

GOOD MORNING

Thanks Estela (and Sara!).

doot doot doot... so bored.

Act like the BATMANG and beat up a clown

oh there's a clown i'd like to beat alright...

Then do not hold back

I do not suggest performing the pencil trick.

DON'T SPOIL BATMANG FOR ME! I AM PARTAKING OF IT'S VISUAL DELIGHTS ON SUNDAY!

OMG THE PENCIL TRICK.

ok i say no more.

One of A's student workers INSISTS that we should hire a sitter and go see Dark Knight on the IMAX screen at the zoo. Our pleas of "no money" are not good enough. "We're broke college students and WE did it!"

The worst part is I'm really starting to want to go!

you should!

you really really really should

Do it. Fire is the ultimate cleanser...

Wait, what were we talking about?

Or is it purifier? Either way it's an extreme way to remove make up and/or rid society of evil...

Effective too, since 'kissing' the blowtorch I need never worry about lipgloss (or lips) again! YAY!

Would have seen it on the IMAX last night but already sold out! (This thing is making MAJOR bucks, big surprise -- it'll almost certainly be the top money-maker of the whole year by the end of the upcoming weekend, ie, took 'em ten days to make the money that Iron Man made in almost three months.)

i'm kind of excited to see batman. you know the other thing i love about living here? all the old movie theatres!! there are pretty much none left in nz. there were two in wellington - huge, grand ones - but they've been so over-renovated that they've lost all their charm. but i've already seen at least three really old, semi-rundown theatres in this area.

You people are terrible for the pocketbook, and also, apparently, the complexion.

RR, I'm envying your movie theater choices. I can stay in town and go to an old, featureless movie theater (although it will be gone in a month) or I can drive to another city and go to a huge cineplex. Nothing to get excited about.

My local cinema in Brighton. Those are a pair of stripy fake legs on the roof.

That is really weird, and also I like it. It makes me think that Dr. Seuss characters are welcome.

GO TO BATMAN

Okay, how necessary is the IMAX aspect? We could probably take turns seeing it in town at matinees. (So sad to do it that way, but...)

Not necessary, but the action sequences were filmed using 70mm IMAX cameras.

Worth it. It's still a great movie in a regular movie theatre. Don't let that deter you.

I saw I normal theater and was still awesome

We're going to IMAX sometime, maybe next week, maybe in Cincy.

Ha, how sad is it that I'm sitting here thinking, "hmmmmmm, if I'm going to borrow money for school from my parents, I could borrow a little *more" and go to the IMAX theater..."

(Answer: it is already pathetic that I'm thinking of borrowing money for school, so really, how much lower can I sink?)

hah sara, i am in your same pathetic boat. thanks a log fed gov't for screwing me over nonstop!

lol thanks a *lot.

I am trying to work around the "if you don't have 24 credits last year, we won't loan you money until you do" b.s. (Because it would make so much sense to take classes that I don't need - which I would also need to borrow money for - in order to borrow more money!)

The money angst also allows me to continue to beat myself up for not doing this when I first thought about it. Hey, and it keeps me at odds with my mother! (She's just as encouraging as ever.) It's all good times.
