seldneiOn vacation. Have hit the hermit mode of vacation. (I am an only child with a relatively small family, so the enormity of the family I have married into sometimes overwhelms me and I need to be Alone. I'm not actually physically alone at the moment, but the younger generation of men is downstairs playing Magic and calling each other various forms of "douchebag," and I have the parents-in-law mesmerized by Hard Day's Night on VH1 Classic, so it all amounts to the same thing.)
Today I bought a mockingjay keychain at Borders. And if you don't know what that is, well, read The Hunger Games. And then you will recognize the ultra-coolness that is my keys. Or will be, once I have them on the thing.
We also saw Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, which I freaking adored and don't want to hear a bad thing about because I liked it just that much, it made me happy, so keep yer criticisms to yourself, dammit. I didn't even get annoyed at Michael Cera at all, and I always tend to start out liking him and wanting to smack him and his cute elliptical line-readings around a little to get them to man up by the end of the movie.
Kieran Culkin for the win, though. Just sayin'. If Robert Downey, Jr. implodes again, just hire Kieran Culkin instead.
I bought volume one of the graphic novel, and I don't think this is the start of an obsessive reading jag like seeing and then getting volume one of Sin City was, though the two experiences have certain similarities. But I think the art may be too cute for me.
And this vacation has been movie-heavy, as we've seen the new Clash of the Titans (yawn) and The Hangover. The Hangover was not as godawful guy-movie as I expected, but was also not as funny as the hype would have had me believe. That said, I did enjoy a lot of it. I did not see the trunk thing coming.
But. Not as make-me-cry funny as 40 Year Old Virgin.
Now I just have to see if my father will take me to see Inception, as my husband swears to god he will not see this movie. Oh, here, this was our conversation:
L: I want to see Inception.
S: Why?
L: It looks really cool--you love super-visual movies, why wouldn't you want to see it?
S: It's the guy who made Memento! I hated Memento! I swore never to see another movie that guy makes, ever!
L: The guy who made Memento also made Insomnia, Batman Begins, and Dark Knight.
S: ...
L: In fact, so far he's only made one movie that we haven't seen.
S: (muttered swearing) I am still not going to see Inception.
So, yeah. Have to talk Dad into it. I owe him a movie for mowing my lawn.
All right. I think I'm going to go do some more of my Doctor Who meme, now.
