Jan. 21st, 2006
Generally difficult night - Toys woke up with an unexplained chill and the shakes, spent the next couple of hours bundled under our living room kotatsu table trying to warm up while I read WebMD entries about infections and malaria. Final analysis - he was just cold, although it scared the shit out of me enough to insist on him dragging his ass to the doctor's for a tetanus booster. I'm dead tired. With luck, though, I'll get to come along on a toy-shopping run today. Not that I can afford to buy much of anything, but with Toys-R-Us closing stores around the area, there are crazy deals to be found. Toys - er, the kind that come in a box, not Toys the Person - would be good right now. I could use a little frivolous fun.
In other news...( Stargate Report )
( Battlestar Galactica Rantage - To be avoided if you're still into the show )
Movie notes: we rented Kamikaze Girls from the local Hollywood video, at the same time we checked out War of the Worlds. Our local Wherehouse, where we'd usually gone to rent summer-movie-blockbuster type stuff, had closed recently, so we'd gone to Hollywood by way of replacement. As it turns out, the savings weren't so great - two extra nights as opposed to the local very good video store, but same price - so we'll probably just give in and sign up for Netflix after all, but anyway, quick anecdote. We're browsing the store, and I find myself checking out their TV section, during which time I notice the big signs posted on the walls and shelf-tops, pimping said TV section: "The Best in TV!" The illustrations for this boast are: the Family Guy animated crowd, Keifer Sutherland's character from 24 (grrrr... torture), Fry and Bender from Futurama, and... Buffy and Spike. Aw.
But Kamikaze Girls rocked. I give it a rating of "Jawsome" plus "Airwolf," and a wave of my magical fairy wand to boot. There totally need to be more movies made about all-girl biker gangs. Totally.
