Did I Just Laugh at the "Herbie" Trailer?

So I'm waiting to go to my dentist apt. Checking out yahoo movies, and see the trailer for the new Lindsay Lohan flick, "herbie unleashed" or "reloaded" or whatever.

The damn thing made me laugh.

Now, I'm a Herbie fan from back in the day. That little number 53 car was bad ass. And Lindsay Lohan, who doesn't like her? (Besides Hillary Duff, who's a no-talent hack.)

Not only does Herbie feature LL, but Matt Dillon, Michael Keaton, and Justin Long of "Ed" fame. (Ed is currently in syndication, running on TBS at 11 Central. Thanks DVR!)

I laughed a couple of times. I mean, it's a Disney movie, and will be cheesy as hell, but dammit! I'm sold. I can't wait for June, and the arrival of the Herbie movie! Maybe I'll get free passes from the paper.

DAMN YOU LINDSAY LOHAN!

The healing power of hummus

Angry today.

Two days in a row.

So I decide to actually leave the building for lunch. I had a gyro and some hummus. I'm not angry anymore.

Who'da thunk it?

The Power of No

I really need to learn the word "No."

"Brian, can you do this for me before the end of the week."

"We're booked solid for 2.5 weeks, but I'll figure out a way."

"Brian, can you write me a script? I don't have any details, but it's about furniture. I need a :30 and a :15.""

Sure, I'll have it by the end of the day."

"Brian, I need to take this :30, and turn it into a :10, but they want it to say everything it does in the :30, only shorter."

"Who gives a crap if it looks bad? I'll hack and slash."

"Brian, I see your schedule is full, but can I get you to edit something for a client? We don't have any elements, and they want it by tomorrow."

"Script? Who needs one? I'll just continue to pull crap out of my ass."

It's two letters, one word. "No." It's easily one of the most simple words in the language. Why can't I use it?

Finished! Sort of... (And the battle with the Mart)

So, we're done painting for the time being. After all the glazing, and fixing the glazing, and peeling the tape off the windows... we're done. It looks nothing like I thought it would, but I'm reserving judgement until I see the border up. And by then, it'll be set and I'll just have to deal with it if I don't like it. But I'm sure I will.

As for the Mart? The thing about Nebraska Furniture Mart is... great prices, crappy service. Against our better judgement, we bought our crib and dresser from the Mart. It was delivered on Saturday. Fast forward to Saturday afternoon, when I notice the box that is sitting in the baby room says that the crib they delivered was "white." We ordered "Natural." Me being the optimist, I notice the sticky label on the box says "natural." Maybe they ran out of "Natural" boxes.

So we cut open the box this evening, after ripping off the tape and such... It's white. Which wouldn't look too bad against the color we glazed on... if you didn't mind having a white crib and a natural dresser. We'll be calling the Mart tomorrow, the Bastards.

BTW, the motor is probably out on our Washer for the second time in 6 months. You know how I said it's never easy with us? Well, we get through painting without even as much as a minor argument... and then the crib is wrong and the Washer conks out. Such is life.

p.s. Jodie says her Mom likes the name we've chosen. Good thing, because I always feel like I'm on thin ice with my MIL... despite Jodie's assurances that she likes me. Personally, I think MIL is wise to the fact that I've had sex with her daughter. Shhh! Don't tell!
