arishaTo start, today I searched for Jack Benny clips on YouTube and to my surprise, the search was actually successful!! (I feel like a HUGE DORK whenever I mention my adoration for this guy. It makes me feel rather removed from my generation.) And to add to the surprise, one of the clips I found is of Mr. Benny and Walt Disney! I'm guessing this is from The Jack Benny Show - basically, Jack is way stingy and is trying to see if he can get himself and 110 friends of his into Disneyland for free. Not the most hilarious clip I've ever seen, but awesome just the same. XD
In actual news, today was pretty productive in comparison to the rest of my lazy week. XD Or I did stuff, at least, whether or not you'd call it productive. Yesterday in my film class we watched Vertigo, which had its moments but overall didn't leave any real impression on me. Today we watched Fight Club, which was so interesting. I really didn't expect to like it and my mom was shocked when I told her I liked it, hahaha, but I did. Not the sort of movie I would watch over and over and over again (knock it down to PG and we'll talk ;) ), but I really dug the way it was put together, and the mood of it, and all the creepy little moments ... Very vague comments but I haven't thought of anything actually substantial to say yet. Which is kinda bad, haha, 'cause we have to write 200 words about each film we watch. XD Tomorrow is The Shining. I expect to hate it and be scarred. I read the summary on Wikipedia, though, so at least I'll be somewhat prepared ...
I like this routine of watching a new movie every morning. By the end of the day, I'm like, "I watched that? That was today?" It seems so faraway. XD;
Then I went to the dentist, and whatever, it was the dentist. :P The only thing I have to say about this is that this time around I have NO CAVITIES. I can't decide if this is more or less fantastic than that time when I had nine. I mean, you guys, I hope you understand the impact of this. I haven't had a cavity-free check-up since, like, NEVER. Also, this just in, being twenty sucks. If I was seven my parents would be buying me some cavity-free rewards right about now!!! :P
Going to the dentist makes me really feel messed up re: my age anyway. The assistant asked how old I was and I told her and she was shocked and I didn't know how to interpret that, then she told the dentist I was going into third year and WHOA I AM SO NOT, and then the secretary was surprised to hear my mother wasn't coming to pick me up and I was going to walk home by myself. Should I start acting my age? Is this the vibe I am getting here?
And then I had a job interview and snagged myself a new job! Which I would be more excited about if my parents hadn't done their best to make me feel EXTRAORDINARILY GUILTY. All day they've been all, "What if you're not happy at this new job, either? Then you'll not only still be unhappy, you'll be earning less money, too!" Well, even if it does pay $9.50 an hour, and even if I do get to bother![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
the_wykydtron while she is trying to help customers, this toy store job, I dunno. Maybe I got myself too worked up about it to begin with. It kind of sucks because on days when I have to handle the customer service desk, I get off work and I'm like "I HATE LIFE I HATE EVERYTHING OMG ARGH," and then on days when all I have to do is ring people through I'm like, "This job is awesome! I love children and customers and toys!" This is a love/hate relationship that is killing me. And so hopefully this little risk I feel like I am taking will pay off. :) I shall soon enough be returning to minimum wage, selling tickets at the movie theatre where my brother just quit his own job. ;D But I am definitely looking forward to it. The two managers who interviewed me were cracking jokes the whole time, hahaha, which I thought was great. XD I'm just now sort of dreading the moment where I give my two weeks' notice to the toys ... Remember last summer when it took me a month to build up the nerve to quit my fast food job? Uh ... yeah. At least now I have a deadline of some sort, at least. :/
And then! I came home and watched America's Next Top Model (guilty pleasure, shut uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup) and to my surprise, my brother and his girlfriend joined me! !!!! And then we watched Mythbusters where they were trying to figure out which motion sickness remedy was the best. They took the two members of their cast who were most susceptible to motion sickness and made them spin around in this special chair over and over and over again ... ;_; I felt for those guys. I could not have done that. Some mornings I can't even ride the bus to school without getting all queasy. x_x; (the_wykydtron will remember, haha. That was a bad morning.)
THAT REMINDS ME! This afternoon I saw a school bus driving up my street! We have been living here ten years and I have never once seen a school bus driving up my street! Either it was dropping someone off, or a teacher was taking their class to visit the local cemetery. Which I had to give someone directions to on Tuesday morning. Man, if/when I move out, I am seriously going to miss living next door to a cemetery. And you know you're jealous.
And then, and this is huge news, I finally saw the Seinfeld episode where Uncle Leo loses his eyebrows and Elaine draws them back on. Only it was a huge disappointment at the same time - these scenes apparently belong to an episode I have seen a million times, and for whatever reason I just kept missing them, leading me to believe they were part of a completely different episode. Disappointment ... :( :( :( :(
And I guess that is my day in a nutshell, hahaha. A fine day but at the same time I'm glad it's all done with, because I was pretty well running on pure nerves from about one o'clock until seven. ^^; But tomorrow! Tomorrow is a day I have been looking forward to for a week! Tomorrow it will be a week untilathena_crikey, the_wykydtron and I see PotC3, and to prepare ourselves, we are watching PotC and PotC2 back-to-back. :D This next part is absolutely ridiculous but then so is my entire life: I told my brother's girlfriend of this plan and she really wanted to come but she can't come over until evening! So after watching PotC and PotC2 with my friends, I am going to watch PotC once more with my brother's girlfriend. XD The best thing about this is that my brother himself won't be home until three hours later. This could either turn out to be a fantastic evening of bonding ... or it could be terribly, dreadfully awkward. But either way it will be full of PotC, and that is really all I ask. XD
Naw, I think it'll be good. :D If it was either of my brother's previous two girlfriends, it would be 100% awkward. But I have actually conversed with this girlfriend, and have actually watched TV with her before, so I think it'll be fine. Not to mention that we think the same thoughts! Today I asked my brother, "Instead of renting an apartment, why don't you buy an RV?" (There was an RV commercial on the teevee, haha.) Cried his girlfriend, "I SAID THE EXACT SAME THING TODAY!!!" XD XD XD XD Oh, we are so obviously BFF 4EVR, sorry to anyone else who was hoping to apply for the position. XD;
