trinityvixenWhat a funny collection of miscellany I have to report for my first post-Disney LJing.
One: I now have to go see the live-action G.I. Joe movie. Pity me? Christopher Eccleston wastes his talent on yet another project that will be only as good as his presence can make the thing. Never liked Joe all that well, especially not after reading some of the Cobra after-action reports on SomethingAwful. Ah well. I enjoy seeing that Ray Park still gets work. He's awesome. Yet another non-speaking part, alas. He's got a cute British accent. And Joseph Gordon-Levitt is still alive! Amazing!
Two: A woman is stripped searched forcibly by seven different guards after someone dials 911 to report that she's been the victim of assault. Fucking sickening. The video gave me the creeps, and before anyone comments, you have to watch the video. Because there's no way anyone deserves what she went through, least of all when she was already the victim of an assault. This? This is why people stop calling the police. Worst of all is the complete silence on the police end in the video. If there HAD been any legitimate reason to attack her this way, the least they could do would be to explain to her, after any one of her agonized, repeated screams for them to do so, why they were doing this. Suicide risks need more fragile treatment. A truly suicidal person would have bitten their tongue clean off in despair after this bullshit.
Three: I bought stuff on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
feiran's XBOX 360! I gots me some Rock Band downloads. I got to sing "The Joker & the Theif" and I was all happy forever and ever. It's strange to buy stuff not for my system--I've been the one with the system that things got bought for for so long, it's just a funny change.
Four: I should just pay the money to have orders from Best Buy shipped to me because I spend more on going to the store with a pay-as-you-go metrocard. Also, erm, I can't ever seem to leave the store with just the thing I ordered. I went for my $5 copy of The Aristocats and went home with Transformers and The Wedding Singer and the aforementioned purchased points for the XBOX machine. Then I happened to pass a Barnes and Noble where I dropped my $25 gift card and a little on my own copy of Set and two more Pratchett books. And, finally, my own Scrabble dictionary. For when we have those, you know, intensely debated games. That was sarcasm. I'd love to have more games of Scrabble. I really enjoy the games I played over Christmas with various folks. And the paper copy will cover us when we're away from the computer (like if we do Shakespeare in the Park again--ooh, do let's!)
Five: I skipped class tonight. I ended up out in the snow shopping and I'm not getting to bed early. This seems a tad silly to have done if I weren't going to do anything with that newly free time. Like homework. Aiyah.
Six: I haven't got a single hat/scarf/gloves matching set. I'm doing my best to approximate around it. It just takes the classiness out of my big-girl fashionable coat to be so poorly coordinated. SIGH.
Seven: Twenty-four hours ago, I wanted a swim, it was so warm. Then it was a blizzard. Stupid weather!
