D&L McClure’s Neighborhood

Last night, I crossed another item off my unofficial bucket list and saw The Big Lebowski on the big screen with the blogger formerly and once again known as Crankypants. Upon leaving my apartment, an uneasy feeling crept into my mind as I got into my car, which I can only blame the Glass Broken & Filled w/ Poison Theory on. "The ticket window will read: SOLD OUT. The ticket window will read: SOLD OUT. I know I'm over-valuing this movie to the point of no return, but the frothing masses of college & high school students on summer vacation won't pass up this opportunity to see a cult classic in the movie theater."

To my delight relief, we were able to secure tickets + in a favorable location within the theater, to boot. Granted, it was a late-arriving crowd; but, the seats filled in a hurry as the coming attractions rolled. As a side note, I plan on seeing Burn After Reading upon release, and I suggest you do the same. As Cranks pointed out, the guest speaker asked for a show of hands from the audience if this was their first viewing. I expected very few raised hands; however to my surprise, I'd say a good 1/3 responded.

As for the movie itself, I'm always struck by the little things I continue to pick up with every viewing. For instance, I never noticed the picture of the large pair of scissors against a red background in Maude Lebowski's flat. Another example is the restaurant scene when Walter raises his voice in anger about "the Supreme Court rejecting prior restraint." When The Dude slams his money on the counter as he's leaving, he accidentally also takes an unsmoked joint out of his pocket which he quickly recovers. Of course this is sure to garner the usual, "You just discovered that now?" heckling. So it goes.
 

Le phare d'Antifer culmine à 38 mètres du sol et à 102 mètres au niveau de la mer. C'est une dernière sentinelle pour les marins qui les éclairent dans la nuit. Mais c'est une sentinelle qui sort comme d'un bout du monde, déshumanisée car elle n'est plus sous le contrôle de l'humain mais d'automates.

I'm running late on a few things....but this has been really soothing to watch and listen to sometimes.

I am a farmer who raise ducks and cows. The animals have a total of 9 heads and 26 feet. How many ducks and cows do I have?

WTF? Are we so strapped for options that we're accepting trivia style questions for QotD?? No offence intended to the submitter of the question but can we do a little better tomorrow? 

Hey wasn't there a QotD asking about stupid questions recently? haha

Oh mang.
So I set the alarm to 5am. Because the washer and dryer haven't been working for 3 days...  and apparently wouldn't be until waaayyy past my bed time.
So I planned to wake up early and get some things clean before I go to work.

I was wide awake at 5. But I didn't want to get up. I was LOVIN the cuddlin' with the boy. :)
Soooo I laid there for a while and was thinking about what clothes I have that are clean.
Luckily I had shirt and pants and I bought new underwear and junk.
(The liddle dog has chewed up 5 pairs.. literally.. 5 pairs of my undies in one week.)

So I slept in knowing that I have clean clothes.
I didn't worry about Josh's work clothes because he bought brand new work pants. :)

Aaanyway.
So I get up at 730.
I'm ready. I'm out in the livingroom......

.....alone.
It's quiet. No one's moving.
I'm confused.
It's 7:37...
JR's usually ready to go by 7:35...
So I go knock on the door... walk in and say, "Why aren't you up!? It's almost 7:40"
Their reply was.. "No, it's 6:30..." and I hear this as I notice that both their clocks say 6:30...

So I woke up at 4 this morning... laid around and got up and ready by 630.
Man.
I should've made breakfast.
But like me, I went and took this time to cuddle. :)

Couldn't help it. :)
There is no way I could resist snuggling with my boy in those poofy warm blankets and all that.

Anyway...
I'm tired.

No idea what to talk about now.
I'm trying to re-write my resume.
It's hard.

I can't find my last one.. that was ridiculously amazing and wonderfly worded... because I had help to word it...
And now I'm trying to remember how it went...
Can't remember.
This makes me sad. :(

I'm gonna go make a manual or somethin.
