Please remind me to tell you all the story about how I had to throw a customer out of my store the other day. It's highly entertaining, now that I am not living through it.

In related news, work recently has sucked beyond the telling of it. It's definitely time to get the hell out. Not just of where I am, but of the retail field in general since retail itself sucks beyond the telling of it. Life is just entirely too short to be stuck doing something you hate every day.

When I am able to escape my workplace hell, I've been seeing a lot of movies. I saw "Feast of Love" recently and I have never laughed so hard in my entire life. It was hilarious!! I literally spent the entire last ten minute of the movie shaking with laughter. Oh, did I mention it's not a comedy? Yeah. It's bad. It's really bad. It is. So. Very. Bad. Just terrible. It's so bad it should win an award for how bad it is. It's so bad it may actually go full circle and wind up good. Except it's so very, very not good. Greg Kinnear plays the gayest straight man ever, a woman get slapped and called the c-word and then winds up living happily ever after with the asshole who slapped her, people hump on a football field and it's supposed to be meaningful, and Morgan Freeman looks wise and above it all as he spouts drivel that is supposed to teach us about the nature of life and love. Whatever, dude.

I saw "Eastern Promises" which was excellent and extremely disturbing. Everyone knows Viggo Mortenson from the LotR trilogy and yes, I too thought he was hot and rugged. (Although to this day it annoys me that he ended up with the elf girl and not the kick-ass girl from Rohan who slew a freaking Lord of the Nazgul people...come on! That is way cooler than sitting around and alternating between looking sad, and looking beautiful and looking sadly beautiful. /geekery) What was I saying? Oh, yeah. Viggo's hot. However, I never really gave much thought to whether or not he was a good actor. Well, he is. He is simply excellent in "Eastern Promises" and so is Vincent Cassel who took a part that could have easily been a cliche and gave it depth.

And tonight I saw "The Jane Austen Book Club" which was very enjoyable. It will not shock you to know that it's predictable and contrived but we need movies like that sometimes and if you're going to watch one, it might as well be a good one. And this was. Light hearted, fun, dare I use the word cute? And best of all, Becky and I had the entire theater to ourselves! We could talk and make all the snarky comments we wanted! Such as this:

Becky: Oh my G-d, he's so hot! She needs to get it on with him.
Me: Becky! He's her student! And she's married! And he's her student!
Becky: I don't care, she needs to jump him.
Me: You are so wrong.
Becky: She won't do it. This is a PG-13 movie.

Tomorrow it's back to work to finish out my 55 hour work week. Joy. Sunday I will be rising at the very buttcrack of dawn and walking to save ta-ta's in the Komen Race for a Cure walk. (Remember: me = less racing, more casual stroll.) I have been inexcusably bad at keeping up on the fundraising front but if anyone wants one last chance to donate, please do so here. If I reach my fundraising goal, I promise to post pictures of the event here on LJ. So, if that's the kind of thing that motivates you, go to. If not, well...I don't blame you. But donate anyway. Remember, boobs are for everyone.
