Seven Minutes in Heaven
Apr. 25th, 2004 02:30 am1) My friend Julie is always trying to set me up with someone, no matter how many times I ask her not to. Today she was all, "I want to introduce you to Michael. Would you be interested in a white boy, who's tall, thin, kind of pale-skinned, and really sweet?" I was like, you had me until that last thing.
2) Do you ship Mary/Colin or Mary/Dickon from The Secret Garden? I have always held a secret torch for Mary/Colin, because that was so where the sparks were. I don't care that they're cousins. In fact if they were brother/sister it might be the first serious incest ship I'd ship. <g> Am happy because [due to Jade] have discovered two versions of the movie/sequel to the movie where Mary and Colin end up together. Filmmakers are guilty incest proponents like me.
3) Have been seeing trailers for The Notebook, and I must say that I am all squeey over the fact that blond-ish Ryan Gosling is playing the male lead, and he's all head over heels for Rachel McAdams, who's a redhead in the movie. Squeeeeee!! I know it's got a pretty typical romantic-movie premise, but where I usually cringe at something so obvious, this one actually looks well done. That or it's just the trailers.
4) My tax refund has been credited to my account, so everything went through okay after all. Yay!
5) The soundtrack to 50 First Dates is all reggae-y 80s music and is so good.
6) Did not see Eternal Sunshine because Julie was lame and got the theater wrong. Instead we went to Target, which is not the same at all but a necessity. She and her roommate convinced me to overcome my Punkass Bitch syndrome and actually get out of the house to meet people. Thus I found myself at a comedy club called Giggles, and saw the funniest. damn. comedian. I have seen in quite awhile. His name's Mike Birbiglia, and seriously -- if he ever comes to your town (tonight was his last night here), GO SEE HIM.
7) Yesterday, saw Ella Enchanted and 13 Going on 30. Hated the first, loooooved the second.

I can't wait to have all my GP shipper desires made real by filmmakers who got paid and everything. It's like filmed fanfic!

I shun you both because now I STILL cannot talk to you about this movie. Honestly. HONESTLY.
Really, drunk!Sarea is the best one. How was your grilled cheese? It was best you didn't use a knife, wasn't it?

The grilled cheese was goooooooood. I washed it down with my macaroni and cheese. I used a knife to cut the sandwich in half, but I appear to still have all my fingers.
And I got a French manicure and a really really really really cute bra.

I am now hungry after hearing about your cheesy dinner and I must have a snack. Damn you. Damn you and your cute bra buying French manicured hands.
