long sentence
Jan. 14th, 2003 01:00 pmNever good when you forget what you went to the store for in the first place, or when the guy at the register raises his eyebrows and you feel compelled to defend your purchases by saying somehting lame like "Beginning of the semester junk food rush!" even though you aren't even in school anymore.
But hey, they played my favorite Duran Duran song on the radio, and we've got frozen pizza and goldfish crackers and chewy cookies now. Oh yes, and the toliet paper which I had to run back in for. So it's not so bad today, even though the sky is a bright, painful grey and cold.
Melynda's playing Final Fantasy VII, which has a great intro, and so far I'm enjoying it. I confess I never played any of them after III, and I have a soft spot for II in my heart. Super Nintendo graphics and silliness, but I just loved some of those missions. I always renamed the characters to suit whatever peculiar fancy my head had adopted at the time. Especially the bard, and his lover who dies, and there's sad harp music. The summer when I broke up with Michael, I borrowed that game from Kevin's brother and played it constantly for about two months. All day, all night, any time I wasn't working at the newspaper.
Gene apparently can't speak Czech without his Prince Jason accent in class. I am beyond amused. He does get to correct Keith's Russian though.
I want to watch a movie. I want to watch A Perfect Murder though perhaps I should watch something else.

"You cut his fucking finger off, oh my god! He's going to kill us!"
And now I want to watch Killing Zoe again. Christian and I watched that out in the garage the first time, and we were gaping, perched on the edge of the couch through the end. Wild. Plus, Eric Stoltz.
I want to see a marathon of old Bogart films, The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, Casablanca and such.

What Orlando Bloom are You?

I don't think that really exists. But it's funny. And we're allowed to goof off and take pointless quizzes. Finishing up The Age of Innocence and then it's a toos up between The Virgin Suicides or the copy of True Romance I discovered on the shelf. There's something about VHS, and the ancient previews on the tapes.
The trek to the mail box was fruitless. No rice steamer. Where is my rice steamer?
I am staring at my calendar, wishing it was closer to May. When I visit New York again, I hope I can take the subway and find myself at the Met once more, my most favorite museum in all the world. I do not know why I love it so much, if it is something in the collections, or the building itself, or just where and what it is. But I remember wandering there by myself last year, and it was a moment out of time.
