Everything smells better in the rain

Happy Thursday! Welcome, June, aka the Cold and Spooky Rain month. Any more of this winter nonsense and I'm going to demand a refund.

But the single pine tree and all the juniper on the way to Lowe's smelled sooo good.

Happy Captain Picard Day, while we're at it.

The AX is only two weeks away. They're still out of the spray paint I need to finish my vest. I still need to acquire shoes to paint, and I still need to paint my box head. I've got my eye out for a yellow backpack, but that's not strictly necessary.

Me and Carolyn went to Walmart, Joann's (which is actually called Jo-Ann), Sport-Smart, Ross, back to Walmart, Target, Claire's, Payless, Sears, Justice, and Old Navy looking for costume pieces today. I found some binding (at Joanns, which is what I went there for) and Carolyn found a hat at Ross. It needs to be spray painted.

But it'll all get done, and it will all be amazing, I promise.

Then we hung out with Jacqi at Green Forest, which is still a place to which you need to go. I tried the frozen yogurt today, and it was pretty darn good. I don't even like frozen yogurt. They also have waffles now, so go ask for one. It's between the CVS and Vons by Buena.

Just watched The Adjustment Bureau. It's cool. I didn't love it.

People always seem put off when I haven't seen any of the new releases, especially the one they already think is cool and are asking me about it for no reason at all. But I'll tell you why I don't. Because most movies disappoint me. Most movies I don't care about. It has to be real special for me to even be interested in seeing it, like Adjustment Bureau, what with its Matt Damon and its sci-fi. But even then, if I don't love it -- love the story, love the setting, love the characters, love the humor -- then I'm going to be disappointed.

Long story short, I hate watching movies that I don't love. This is why I only watch things I've already seen and love (Lucky # Slevin, High School Musical, Hot Fuzz, Sunshine, Open Season 2, Speed Racer) or movies I can get angry about how bad they are. Because then at least I'm engaged, through my disgust. If it's neither here nor there, I won't remember it, and, well, wasn't that a good two hours wasted.

:/

In Bruges, The Prestige, The Incredibles, Batman (1966), A Hard Day's Night, Shaun of the Dead, The Lion King, Iron Man, House of Flying Daggers, Casino Royale, Stranger Than Fiction, Ocean's 11, Casablanca, Donnie Darko, Boondock Saints, Akira, The Fall, Serenity, these are the movies I will recommend for you over whatever might have just come out yesterday. I want to say that these are better than those, but nobody knows that movie choice is only a matter of taste better than I do. So if you want to see Just Go With It, you don't have to ask me for my opinion.

Just get out. XD

Also, look at how they're either action movies or kids movies? I don't know. Preferably, I like a good sci-fi/action/comedy/drama aka Firefly. Oh man, don't get me started on tv shows.
