things I don’t get
February 15, 2007 in lists
- iced decaf sugar-free vanilla Americanos
- ultra-pasteurized dairy products
- replacing butter with margarine and/or vegetable oil unless under extreme duress
- people who hate the rain on principle
- 8am classes (okay, only two days out of the entire quarter but still)
- why I can’t seem to get anything done
- why I want more coffee when I know I’ve had enough
- the Bridge to Terabithia movie trailer (I still kinda want to see the movie, but sleep through the special effects sections)

coffee coffee coffeeee… what is that about? I do the same thing. I even have this handy dandy canteen that keeps it piping for days if left undisturbed, which it never is… mmm. I wonder if, like cigarettes, they put an addictive substance in it.
Oh i guess that would be caffeine huh.

Yeah, I think it’s the caffeine that MIGHT be addicting.
But, what I want is the experience of a nice warm cup of oh-shit-it’s-almost-Lent-must-drink-cream-while-I-still-can coffee. Did I just say shit and Lent in the same sentence? Straight to hell…

bridge to terebithia…looks really fascinating…but ‘terebithia’ is absolutely ridiculous. sort of like that gold dolce and gabana cell phone.

The special effects were not that bad at all. I would even go so far as to say that if you go in as braced as you are, you should come out fine.
They have more trouble with deciding whether it’s 1970 or 2007 & with handling the children’s relationships with their parents, in my opinion. But the special effects were –mostly– really what I would have hoped and what one was lead to believe were about to be the awfullest.

I don’t get Sudoko. Really. Is it just me?

Annie, you mean it looks like a G&D cell phone? Which I’ve never seen, but based on past experiences with G&D window displays – ick.
Anne, I’m relieved. I will fit in a viewing ASAP. I was wondering about the whole time period thing, how that would be handled – the costumes looked pretty 2007.
J, even if I’m on the path to hell, I don’t need that extra kick from a lower case L.
Di, I do NOT get Sudoko either. I tried it once and gave up in disgust. Give me a crossword anyday.

ARE YOU KIDDING!? Sudoku is so delicious it has to be the antichrist. And oh so addicting.

I second the motion that the B to T special effects were not that bad. I thought they did a pretty good job being true to the book in general, although the movie did have some minor issues, including the aforementioned 1970/2007 thing… but to a certain extent, clothing for kids that age in 1970 is similar to the clothing for kids that age in 2007, so. I think they just kind of went for a more classic/timeless kind of time frame.
I think you’ll like it Jess. I bawled my eyes out, of course. 😉
