This is a venting thread →[More:]Ghost Rider was teh awfulness. I think it reached a platitude of suckage that was previously unbeknownst to man. Fell asleep right before the interval and then stumbled out of the theatre to feed my hungry tummy, but the delicious chicken hotdogs that I’d had last time, and was looking forward to having this time (it was going to be the one bright spot in the hideous experience of having sat through two hours of watching Nicholas Cage’s skull burn with fire, although I must say that Eva Mendes’s cleavage brought a whole different perspective to the script)—were all out.
Am enjoying a deliciously humongous chicken sandwich that my mom just prepared, as I’m typing this, so all is not lost. Am also looking forward to seeing Kate Winslet tomorrow, on Inside the Actors Studio, and can’t wait to fall in love with her again. I think the last time I saw her was in Eternal Sunshine, and boy was she great as Clementine. She was Clementine in that movie right? It’s been too long!

I think she's a great actress but the song she released was not bad either!
Give it a listen on iTunes sometime , a real weepie torch song.
"What If" perfect for those moments when you want a good sniffle...

Why does a winter storm have to come on a weekend when I've got loads of plans?

What kind of asshat decides to package whole black peppercorns and ground white pepper in identical containers? Look, when I'm even mildly hungover, I don't expect to have to read the container, I just look down, spot the same looking tub as I have at home and throw it in the basket. What in God's name am I going to do with so much ground white pepper?

Also, I'm somewhat jealous of pie for breaking his run of singleness. It's my turn next, you hear? Me, me, me, mine, mine, mine.

OH FUCK! We're out of fuel for our furnace, which makes no sense at all: We put twice as much fuel in as usual in November; I've used the heat far less than usual since it's been such a mild winter; I've been in Athens for a month and a half over the winter, during which time the heat was set to minimum.

Ordinarily, putting in half as much fuel to begin with, we wouldn't run out 'til March, or maybe April (during a normal, *cold* winter). For once, we filled the thing up so we wouldn't have to worry about it. Bah!

This means either the fuel guys ripped us off big time, or something is suddenly so horribly wrong with our furnace that it's burning more than twice as much fuel as usual. Anyway, we're only here for another month, so we'll just have to freeze, since they won't deliver small quantities. *brrrr*

I was just put in the horrible position of having to write a contained nasty letter to an acquaintance whom I helped briefly (and only as an acquaintance, not a lawyer) with a problem he was having with his landlady. During the course of counseling him over email, I became caught up in some emergencies, and could not respond to him for a while. He sent me an email two days ago threatening to report me to the state disciplinary committee, for what, I'm not entirely sure. I am PISSED. Talk about no good deed going unpunished. Gah.

I'm so tired of mom overruling me on business matters! ARRRRGH!

Am also looking forward to seeing Kate Winslet tomorrow, on Inside the Actors Studio,

OMG! In-person? How exciting! I think Kate Winslet is fabulous.

I'm very tired and don't feel like cooking tonight. I woke up at the crack this morning, hauled some stuff over to my friend's garage sale and made over 100 bucks.

My three-year old is complaining of an earache. His first one. I gave him some ibuprofen, and am hoping for the best. God, why do these things always happen over the weekend? I do not want to go to the ER today.
