MOVIE SECTION:
The Wackness: Originally I had high expectations. Then I lowered them when I heard the movie wasn't all that great. But I still had to see it because Kevin told me it had brilliant 90s references (we've been on a quest for the perfect 90s movies. I voted for Wayne's World originally, but we decided that a lot of that movie is a little too late 80s to '92 (which was when it came out) which is kind of an era on it's own... since then we've crowned Clueless as the champion.)
Anyway anyway, tWAS chock full of brilliant 90s references. The plot was OK. At first I was wondering if it was supPOSED to be about people who are completely miserable and depressed ("you're not depressed, you're sad. There's a difference.") without really being in a distressing situation at all-- a state of being that I can TOTALLY understand! But then the situations got a little more intense and I decided that I would enjoy the movie solely for the said 90s references, the music, the brief Mary-Kate Olsen, who I love despite myself, and Olivia Thirlby (the best friend from Juno) who I think is SUPER awesome... I would like to see more of her.
Overall, not earth shattering in any way. I did like this though:
Dr. Squires: Never trust anyone who doesn't smoke pot or listen to Dylan. Never trust anyone who doesn't like the beach. Never, EVER, EVER trust anyone who says they don't like dogs! You meet someone who doesn't like dogs you alert the authorities IMMEDIATELY and you sure as SHIT don't MARRY THEM!
Not brilliant but made me grin.
Pineapple Express: I thought it was HILARIOUS! So there!
Also, I have never been more attracted to James Franco.
END OF MOVIE SECTION
To wrap up:
Decided to start reading Running with Scissors, which I bought over a year ago. Then my friend Devon told me that I really should read it but the movie wasn't too good. Buuuuut THEN I watched the preview for the movie, which looked AWESOME, and THAT'S why I decided to find the book in my house... and that's why I'm going to read it now. Book lust works in mysterious ways.
Also I decided to make rosemary chicken without the rosemary because I wasn't willing to spend $3.50 on a meal. What I learned was that the rosemary is entirely essential to making it taste amazing... however it blows my mind because the meal is so garlic-y that I don't even understand how the rosemary taste penetrates. Very mysterious. Ate it anyway. Plus I used chicken that I froze, which I'd never done before. I hope I don't get ill.
I also made baked potatoes out of potatoes that had significantly started to grow those white roots (which look like spiders and honestly scare me a little bit, although not enough to not touch them). I'm PRETTY SURE you can eat both of these things, even though they've been in the house for the three weeks I was gone and then some. I'm just pretty sure that I'm not going to die from anything food-related. Naive assumption? We may soon find out.

I was rather disappointed by The Wackness as well. There was far too little Mary Kate for my taste, and the main guy was not nearly as cute as I thought he was (sorry, guy). But oh, well. I did LOVE Dr. Squires.
