two movies

Tuesday is two-for-one day at Hollywood Express. I hope it doesn't make me pathetic that I know that.

Anyway. I picked up the Lemony Snicket movie and House of Flying Daggers and watched them both yesterday.

There is no five- or fifteen-minute movie thing for HoFD, which I think is a crying shame. I think it would make a great one. However, in Googling to find this out, I discovered that most of the reviews said, "I loved this movie, except for the last fifteen minutes!" which was how I felt, too.

-Edward Lewis

Do you think this way? What do you think is the best that is in you?

need to borrow Wix XP cd

Okay, all of the remaining things that we can think of to do to my ailing computer require a Win XP cd. Does someone have one? It came loaded, which is great, except if you need to make a better boot CD or (hopefully it won't come to this) wipe my poor Drusilla and start over from scratch.
A few days to borrow it would be long enough. I won't make any copies.

Muchas gracias.

lyrical joy

Wow. Usually, when I'm listening to hip-hop, and I realize what they're saying, I have to change the station. But this... this is something else.

"Now all the ladies in the place
If you got real hair, real fingernails
If you got a job, you going to school
And y'all need nobody to help you handle your business
Make some noise"

Now that's what I'm talkin' about. DJ Kool, you rock my world.

*makes noise and shakes her booty appreciatively*
