30th April, 2009. 4:05 pm. My Subconscious Is Way Ahead of Me


This morning, I woke up, hit snooze, and got up and got dressed.

Or so I thought until nine minutes later, when my alarm clock went off again and I realized I'd just fallen back asleep and dreamed that I got up and got dressed.

Current mood: mellow.

4th March, 2009. 10:42 pm. “Ugh, none of the pockets on these vintage jeans are the right size for my BlackBerry.”


My friend Rebekah introduced me to whitewhine.com. It's pretty hilarious, especially since I can hear myself saying some of these things.

At least two of them are about .docx files. People really hate those. Some other gems: 

“A kid with the same name as me died in a car accident this week and it is messing up my Google Alerts.”

“Really New York Magazine, you can put together a Fall Preivew Double issue but can’t manage to include an approval matrix?”

“Um, it’s Tuesday and the This American Life podcast hasn’t updated yet. Hellooooo?”

“Ugh, no “Mad Men” On Demand?  Seriously Time Warner, is this what you call offering me ‘all the best?’”
 

“Where have you been, Billy Joel?  Isn’t it about time you made a new album?”
 

“What am I supposed to do with four Starbucks cards that each have less than $2?”

“I hate Google’s new icon. It’s fugly.”

“‘Mary is can’t wait for the party this weekend!’ Seriously? Newsflash: You can delete the ‘is’ when updating your facebook profile.”

“You used Genius to make me a mix CD for our 1 year anniversary?!”



Current mood: amused.

15th July, 2008. 8:43 pm. IMDB That Shit

I am rather impressed with my IMDB search skills, if I do say so myself. 

Here's the story. I was remembering a movie I saw just a tiny bit of a long time ago, thinking that I should probably watch the whole thing, and trying to figure out what the movie was by searching. Here is what I remembered: 

-My parents were watching it, and I was probably about 9 or 10, so from that I knew that

a. It was not rated R, since they let me watch that little bit I saw (my mom was militant about movie ratings)
b. It came out no later than the mid-90s, and probably around then, since my mom tended to rent only from the new-release section. 

-The movie took place in the first half of the 20th century, although I wasn't sure what decade. 

-There were two kids living with their grandmother.

-Their uncle was a gangster.

-At one point, the kids were in a cemetery with a woman who was saying happy birthday to the dead person's grave. 

-The uncle and the kids, at one point, were crawling through a tunnel, and the uncle was talking about how when he was a kid, his mother used to lock him in a closet. 

After some IMDB searching, I was able to find the name of the movie, and this weekend, I rented it and watched it and confirmed that I was right. 

Here's my challenge to my friends list: can any of you tell me what the movie is? I'm going to screen the comments, and let me know whether you know the movie because you've seen it or whether you're guessing based on your own IMDB (or some other Internet) search!

I'll post the answer tomorrow.



Current mood: curious.
