Nonstop to Mississippi

We finally caught up with our last Netflix shipment.
We have been so busy these past couple of weeks that we have been neglecting our ever so important movie watching.

I watched The Conversation (1974, Francis Ford Coppela) with Gene Hackman and the ever so wonderful, ever so tragically dead John Cazale. Cliff fell asleep and I stayed up and just freaking devoured the film. I LOVE Gene Hackman. I LOVE him in everything that he is in (well, maybe not Welcome To Moosport with Ray Romano...but I haven't seen it, so I am just making assumptions...but seriously Gene, are you really going to make the piece of turd your last movie? Do you want to end a BRILLIANT film career with that?? I digress). And John Cazale wasn't as gross as he usually is in other films. He just was a cool, dorky dude. Again, I love so many movies from the 1970s...watching this just only reinforced my love even more.

Last night we made an awesome dinner, I bought a bottle of wine and we watched Mystery Train (1989, Jim Jarmusch). Again, another great movie. I love Jim Jarmusch and I love Netflix because we can get the movies that we want without being chained to our local mississippi blockbuster or our freaking mississippi movie theater...though I so so so miss going to the theater and watching movies. That is one of my most favorite things to do. I frantically check the movie listings every week in hopes that a film that I want to watch is going to be shown, but I am only saddened when my options are either a. a shitty horror movie (what is UP with the spread of BAD horror films lately? I mean, I will totally go and watch a good one, but BOOGEYMAN? THE CURSE?) b. some freaking winnie the pooh movie or a movie about a dog named after a dirty grocery store (at least the winn dixie in starkville was the most filthy grocery store I had ever been in) c. a will smith rom-com
THAT IS IT! OUR OPTIONS! AHHHHH!!!!
Sideways was here for, oh, two days before it was replaced with THE WEDDING DATE.

so netflix, I love you.

ugh! I bought $60.00 worth of candy (school's money, not mine in case anyone cares) for my graphic design two class. Our next project is a candy packaging project and I wanted to surround the class with all types of candy packaging. We devoured it and then we all were on an amazing sugar high and then we all crashed. It was quite the bonding experience.

I love pocky candy.
mmm...pocky pocky pocky.
I just ate some peeps too.
okay. that is enough. no more.

my teeth feel like they are wearing tiny sweaters.

And to keep along with the theme of today, cliff and I are going to columbus tonight to see a traveling exhibition from the smithsonian about FOOD.
God, do these pants make me look fat?

Then we are going to the BAM! (Books a Million) to read magazines and not buy them.
and then to find a hotel bar and have a drink.
we have decided that hotel bars are the new hanging out places.
It used to be the burger king that was in a large log cabin. It was always empty and it had a HUGE fireplace. It used to be an bank, but then a burger king. That was totally going to be our hang out place, but they closed it.
I really wanted to make the bank/burger king my new hideout. It didn't even smell like fast food. It smelled like it was the best place on earth.
Certain letters in the sign were burned out so at night the marquee read BURGE.

good bye BURGE, you will be missed.

okay
end of day.
leaving.
bye.

7th heaven's valentine's day episode has the members of the camdon family SINGING!
and I think it is without irony.

how wonderful and scary.
I am so going to enjoy the next 50 minutes.

Cliff is cleaning the car.
I just bought the new thick march issue of Vanity Fair and shall be taking this next 50 minutes and making them mine by reading trash and watching trash.

but after those 50 minutes are done, I am done and then I will plan for classes tomorrow.
