Odds ‘n Ends

Ever notice how in Adam Sandler’s films the character he plays is always motherless? Either she is dead, or isn’t mentioned at all. It makes me wonder if he grew up without a mother, or has issues with his mother. Think about all the movies he’s in and how the only parental figure in his life is a father or grandmother, and it makes you wonder …

Why is it that candles have a stronger scent when they aren’t burning? I’ve got a Christmas Cookie candle burning and can’t smell it. But I have an unopened Cinnamon candle that I can’t stop smelling. It’s so odd. Also, I can smell the Christmas Cookie the further away I get from the candle. I can barely smell it if I’m close to it.

Monday Mission

Here’s a new meme I’m going to try on for size. Not sure if I like it enough to participate every week though, but we’ll see.

PromoGuy’s Monday Mission 3.48

1. Those paper toilet seat covers in public bathrooms, do you use them? Nope. If the seat looks clean, I sit, otherwise I hover. You have much higher chances of contracting something from touching the bathroom doors and sink than from the toilet seat. In fact, the toilet seat is actually cleaner than those other things, believe it or not. Unless you have a cut in your skin and sit in someone’s urine/feces/blood, you are not going to catch anything. Those paper toilet covers are for people’s paranoia.

2. What is on your Christmas Wish List for Santa to bring? Nothing, really. I don’t like asking for stuff because it’s no fun to open a present when you already know what it is. And not to sound all high and mighty, but if I really want something, I just buy it for myself.

3. In the month of November, Brian wrote over 50,000 words on his novel and is nearing completion. What did you accomplish in the month of November? I started a fitness regime that I’ve been sticking to better than ever before. I’m on the road to being healthier.

4. Have you ever snuck into someplace that you shouldn’t have? Tell me about that. Nope.

5. Do you recall the first internet meme you participated in? How did you come to find out about it? Do you still participate? Why or why not? It was the Friday Five. Sometimes I participate, but only if the questions interest me.

6. Do you have any favorite internet or “streaming” radio programs or music channels you wish were available in your car or on a portable radio? Nope.

7. Ever been skinny dipping? What’s the story there? Nope.

BONUS: What’s cooler than being cool? Being nice and warm. :)

Ho Ho Ho

After that terrible “suspense” film, Wrong Turn, the other night, I didn’t want to take my chances seeing another suspense film. So instead of Gothika, we saw Bad Santa yesterday. I thought it was funny. Apparently three people did not as they left near the middle of the movie. I’m not sure what they were expecting … you could tell from the previews it was crude with lots of swearing. Plus I don’t care how bad a movie is, I’m sitting through the whole thing because I paid for my ticket. I sat through that god awful three hour disaster called Eyes Wide Shut, so everything else is good in comparison anyway. Of course, that was one movie where I was extremely tempted to walk out.

The thing I don’t get about going to the movies though is how people find it acceptable to eat an insane amount of food. We saw this couple who each had a large Coke, large popcorn, and order of nachos. Then the guy left and came back with pretzels. Oh I’m sorry, was the 1000+ grams of fat not enough for you? I feel disgusting if I just share a popcorn with Joe and we don’t even get to the bottom. And people wonder why we’re obese as a country. And please, it was an hour and a half movie, not 12 hours. You don’t need a week’s worth of fat to get you through it! Ick. I’m just glad they were halfway across the theatre because I’m tired of hearing people smack on their artery-clogging snacks. It grosses me out to listen to people eat.
