I hear that

Things I Heart:
1. Family Bonds
2. Desperate Housewives
3. The Flea Market at Melrose/Fairfax
4. My new raise
5. My new shoes *(After a friend of a co-worker commented that I had nice legs and needed to wear sexy shoes, I went out and bought some strappy/tall/hot heels that I have to walk very slowly in so as not to bust a**....thus doubling the time it takes me to walk to the fax machine, but damn if I don't look good)

I can't believe it's been so long since I've seen a movie in the theaters. For being a self-proclaimed film afficianado due to pure volume of films watched and ability to remember almost every film of a majority of actors/actresses, I've become a bit of a slacker. When asked by my aunt and uncle, who see at least a movie a week and usually something foreign or pretentious or both, what I've seen lately, I had to reply w/ "Garden State" (which I saw two days before it opened on July 28th...and it's now October!). I could have brought up the fact that I watched "Win a Date w/ Tad Hamliton" on Saturday, but decided to keep that one to myself.

And speaking of movies...I want to encourage everyone to see Primer...not b/c I can personally recommend, having not yet seen the film, but b/c it won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize and the filmmaker, Shane Carruth, is a nice guy. Two good reasons, no? Oh, and he's from Texas...Remember the Alamo! Plus, he looks pretty damn hot is his Inteview mini-spread... I should have made my move when we watched "Old School" over a year ago, before success made him suddenly more desireable and that more unattainable. Rule #1 in life: Famous people are better looking than regular people.

I found this article on Tom Welling vs. Ian Sommerhalder v. amusing. I can definitely identify, being one who is often attracted to actors/civilians who would be considered "man pretty".

I literally just responded to an assistant, who was complaining over IM to me that no one tells her anything in her office, w/ the lame comment, "Ha ha...I hear that." First of all, the "ha ha" was a fake laugh and a little inappropriate- I mainly use it when I don't have anything to say. As for the "I hear that"...frankly, I'm a little disappointed in myself. Maybe it sounds worse in my head.
