nobleplatypusOne: There is snow outside! Not a whole lot, and it'll probably melt soon, but enough for me to want to play the HP and CoN soundtracks constantly.
Two: The BSG soundtracks arrived yesterday! So I listened to them! And cried! Because the music is so beautiful! Seriously, I can't listen to "Reuniting the Fleet" without tears. Gaaah Celtic-inspired goodness.
Three: I saw Borat two days ago. And honestly... I wasn't all that impressed. It was funny, but it wasn't exactly the side-splitting, knee-slapping, pants-wetting laughter-fest the critics were making it out to be. Perhaps my expectations were too high. Perhaps I was too spoiled (I read three reviews, and between them, pretty much every decent gag was covered... so instead of being shocked by anything, I just found myself thinking, 'Oh, this must be the part where this happens.' It was like what happened with 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail', only compressed). It just wasn't as funny as I'd expected it to be.
Which isn't to say I didn't laugh. But honestly, by the end of the film, I mostly felt really, really ashamed of my country. There's got to be another country nearby with fewer assholes per square mile that I could move to. *squints up at Canada*
Four: We might be getting real internet. As in, high-speed, firewall-less internet. As in, I could sit in my room and talk to people on AIM and avoid my family. We have to go talk to the people at Embarq, but if they can get us broadband for 25 bucks a month, I'll forking pay for it. I will clap my hands for joy as I hand over the check.
Five: I've officially quit Lost. Now I need a new mood theme. Which means I really need number four.
Six: Not seeing the Decemberists, because they're sold out. BOO.
And now I have to go try to buy ducks online.
