So Grotesque

I should never go near that 10x mirror, every time I do it just grosses me out.

I just waxed (you’re welcome) cuz I saw a pic of me that my honey took the other day, and my camera resolution is so damned good I could see every fucking hair on my face. I need a wax mask with everything covered but the eyes (and maybe those are big hairy things too and I can’t see it).

My only consolation is that anybody around my age will not be able to see exactly how hideous I look cuz their eyes are probably as bad as mine. But those poor young people? Don’t stand too close.

You’ll be happy to hear that I did no shopping today – well, other than some Lindors cuz we had none in the fridge and some groceries cuz I remembered that it’s Easter weekend and I’ll have to make some Easter dinner.

I picked up a ham ($30 stinking dollars for some meat) but I didn’t get the rest of the stuff. I guess I’ll get that on the weekend. I’m assuming Easter dinner will be on Sunday night cuz my busy son has plans on the Saturday, which would give me a day of rest for Sunday, but no-o-o-o-o-o, it’ll be Sunday.

Tomorrow night I have that focus group to go to at 6:30. I don’t know why I bother doing these things whenever they ask. I make a whopping $50 for it but, dig bucking feal. Ok, I guess $50 bucks is $50 bucks. Mostly it interests me to see what they want from me. When I find myself without a job you know that nobody will be calling me, asking me to be part of a focus group.

We finally got the DVD player working with the new TV. We went back to Best Buy to ask their knowledgeable staff. And they were knowledgeable *woohoo*. The bad thing about that was that I saw a Toshiba DVD/VCR player for only $169 and I wanted to buy it cuz it would match the TV. But no, they gave us the good, knowledgeable advice and we were able to figure out how to get it working.

The trick? We had to find a button on the remote that said “input select” or “tv/video” and choose a ‘line1′ or ‘line2′ or anything similar to that. We had that button and it worked.

So we watched M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Village” finally on the Sunday. It sucked. It sucked the big one. Some horror movie *zzzzzz*. As I was telling my honey that I was bored, he was saying, “let’s wait… maybe it’s gonna get scary”.

He was right. I think there may have been a suspenseful minute or so in that movie. The best thing about it is that there’s a twist. I’ll tell you what the twist is just so you don’t waste $7 renting it. If you want to waste the money, don’t click on “Read More “.

The twist is that throughout the movie you think they’re in ‘olden days’. It’s almost like a Mennonite community. You find out towards the end that they’re in the here and now and had chosen to start this little village to recapture the innocence and beauty of the olden days.

That was the best part of the movie – that twist – and that lasted for a couple of minutes. So save your money unless you need to catch up on your sleep.

Time to go see that there’s nothing on anymore on a Monday night. Perhaps the movie channel….
