Hooray for Hollywood

Who would have ever thought I would actually advocate going to Hollywood Video again? But lo and behold they are closing a bunch of their stores, and selling every last thing. Five bucks a movie, YAY. Anyone who loves movies, especially the old stuipd ones, needs to hurry up and get in there before the good ones are all gone. I'm totally on a mission to find some things I've been wanting to get on DVD but haven't ever had time to search for. Two stores down in two days, and I'm pretty sure this is all a secret plan of Hollywood Corporate to get back all the money I swore I'd never give them in revenue after we parted ways. So far we got a Ren movie, a Deedle movie, a Cris movie YAY, one dragon, one fairy tale I've never seen but looks cute, several horror movies for Ren who wanted to buy the whole damn section regardless of its Meyers content, an Arthur movie, and About Last Night which if I have to explain the concept behind THAT movie, what the fuck are we even doing here.


In other news, three months after the last post and we're almost at 33K. Not very much as far as progress goes, until you count the fact that I have it all completely plotted out and I work about 50 hours a week. But the greatest part? I'm having FUN with it. I finally found a voice to speak through that translates. Translates to what, well that's debatable. But I'm writing, and that's all that matters. I think the fact that somewhere along the lines this spring and summer, I decided to hell with trying to live up to anyones standards but my own. Yes, I write or wrather play around at it. No, I definitely do not have delusions of grandeur- I'm just doing it because its fun, and maybe when I'm done I'll have something to entertain someone with. I love telling stories and entertaining people with them. Out loud and in person, I completely suck at it, and get bogged down by things like shyness and being retardedness. But I stopped worrying about whether people know I live in the land of the loony tunes or not. I've got lions and tigers and a bunch of other dumb dorks around almost constantly, which pretty much means I'm having more fun.

What else.... I've sort of become a regular at the Louisville zoo. I'm working a lot. My divorce still is not final, sigh, because Jackoff Jason spent his summer dragging his feet. I'm boycotting christmas- we're going to have Nightmare Before Christmas decorating theme going on this year in my new apartment. Hopefully they won't kick me out when I put up my halloween tree.

Random cool things: Heroes is back (Ben, YAY); Kid Nation, Gossip Girl, and Life on Wednesdays; finding new fruit to throw at the TV on Thursdays; Stephenie Meyer books; Gilmore Girls on DVD, but only seasons five and six for liony cuteness; Muse,Bryan Adams, and Kat's Rain playlist; husbands of old friends who are successfullly published brilliant authors and other good friends with Maggies (these last two need to be promoted, but I'm saving that for another day, because the end of a post about Hollywood Video is SO not the proper place)- and I think that's it for the moment.

Current music- Rob Zombie. Ren highly recommends the new Halloween movie, by the way, but only after an original Halloween movie marathon at home.
