Yay for Juno and Kohl’s

We finally saw Juno today and I enjoyed it very much. My thanks goes out to the blogosphere for recommending it because otherwise I would have never known about it. I’m not in the loop on the movies lately thanks to the lack of tv programming and the fact we hadn’t been to the movies in awhile.

We did a little shopping after the movie and hit paydirt at Kohl’s: I got these two cute and colorful purses for $7.20 each which will be perfect come Spring/Summer, another pair of heavily discounted Isotoner slippers for upstairs (for anyone keeping track I now own three pair), and a super cute babydoll shirt I was unsure of when checking the price tag ($25) but happy about once it rang up ($14.40). Joe got three shirts and a zipper-down sweatshirt made of a super comfy sweater material.

As we were checking out, Joe grabbed a nearby Dunder Mifflin t-shirt and the cashier from the other register asked us if we like The Office and started chatting with us. He was all smiles and it was kinda weird, but flattering, because I think he wanted us both. ;) Our cashier was friendly enough but he kept his head down a lot, like he was shy. Now that I think about it, that was weird how both cashiers were guys (more like kids as they both looked really young) because it’s usually women working the registers at Kohl’s.

We had a big lunch at Portillo’s (I’m only just starting to feel a little hungry for dinner now, in fact) and went to the library to return the obscene number of CDs we borrowed a few days ago and check out more, then came home and cleaned. Joe took down the Christmas tree this morning so he vacuumed while I hit the bathrooms. He also mopped all the floors while I straightened up. I still have to do more organizing tomorrow but I’m too tired tonight. I’ve got seven loads of laundry to wash and that’s all I’m doing the rest of the night.

I just got finished reading one of the best books ever. I totally fell in love with Merle and his human-like personality.

Have you ever watched a movie and couldn’t stop thinking about it afterwards? For some reason, I Know Who Killed Me is one of those movies. And not because it was good, because it wasn’t. I think what bothers me is the lost potential. The plot was actually very interesting but the execution was terrible. There were unnecessary scenes and information that was glossed over too quickly. The acting was poor and there was too much gore. Yet it persists in the back of my mind. What a waste of an interesting idea.

Audio Raider is the easiest way to find MP3s without having to pay for them. Not that I advocate that.

There used to be a Showtime original series called Dead Like Me which I loved. Unfortunately, it got cut down in it’s prime. I found out there’s going to be a movie and most of the original cast is in it! I’m really looking forward to it because even George’s sister, Reggie, is coming back. Check out the trailer here.

Friends of the Five Day Weekend believe workers waste much of their day, and if motivated by more time off, could get more accomplished in half the time. I can see that to a certain degree but I don’t think it applies to everyone. For instance, I’m a fast and efficient employee, yet I can never get caught up because my workload is ridiculous! I love the idea of this movement, however. Hell, I’d be happy with a four day weekend. Working for the weekends suck.

This post was brought to you by my faster computer thanks to the 1 GB of memory my husband bought me today. I might not smash it into pieces now.
