This is why I talk to Jenn when she's asleep:

Me: So what do you think of green Stormtroopers?
Jenn: (no response)
Me: Do you like green Stormtroopers?
Jenn: (shakes head)
Me: Awww, Jenn. Why don't you like them?
Jenn: Because I have a map of contingencies and I can stomp on them.

Eh, Steve!
20 March 2004 @ 07:31 pm
Yesterday I got off to a lazy start. I just hung out for most of the day. Then I went to the Zellers in Royal City Centre and purchased a Duplo set (http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Query=3621), a gift bag, and an anniversary card. Jenn's been wanting this set for a while, and since the date we set was March 19 2005, that means yesterday was our negative first anniversary. As I figure, the plastic anniversary, since the wedding is still in synthesis. I tried to cut the greens, but the deadbolt to the club house was locked, and I only have a key for the latch. I saw Jenn and gave her her present, which she liked very much, and we had some dinner. Then we saw the Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. Last time we saw them their set was cut short, but this time they did a double set. No T-shirts, though, which was disappointing, but I did buy the one CD that Jenn was missing. After some (not enough) sleep, Jenn and I went out to see Bubba Ho-Tep. It was really cool, with some awesome lines. I also found it kind of sad though, mostly because Elvis was so depressed, and the director was a little heavy on the pathos, which I wasn't expecting. It left me feeling kind of depressed too, because if the King of Rock and Roll can get mopy about what he didn't accomplish and the condition of his life, what hope do I have? Then again, it's only fiction, and for some reason I allowed the movie to lead me by the nose for emotional responses. Maybe it was because the humour struck some kind of chord with me, leaving me in a position to sympathize with the rest of the movie. All in all, another owner, although I liked Lost Skeleton of Cadavera more, probably due to its fluffiness.

So now I'm tired and I have to work tomorrow, which is OK because I can go to bed early and try to rest up. I feel kind of bad for Jenn though, she had to go to work almost directly after the movie, and she was nodding off on the skytrain. I feel partly responsible for dragging her out to all this stuff, but then she wanted to see Bubba Ho-Tep, and she's a bigger Thickets fan than I am, so I can't really take all the blame.
