10 Things I Hate About YouCategory: movies
I really liked that movie. Every time (e:Drew) posts I am reminded of it. You better stop, Drew, before I put it on the NetFlix queue and force (e:James) to watch it.
And I like a lot of other really dumb popular movies where people in their mid-twenties play 15 year olds. And I tend to cry easily at ridiculous movies. I am really not fit for being exposed to popular culture.
Also, I am 28. I only have another year where I could conceivably move to LA and find a job playing a teenager on a new sitcom on the WB (or CW or whatever it's called now). I better get cracking.
I should be working right now, but I felt like yesterday was Friday and that would make today Saturday.

When I turned 18 I felt a great loss. Now I never could do kiddie porn.
grains of sand in an hour glass Mr. Lindley.

I love that line where that kid from the 3rd rock goes something like: "One question before we talk, do you think you should be drinking when you have no liver?"
Hilarious!

Sorry to start all of this.
For the record, my favorite adults playing teens movie is Mean Girls.
I'm not really into the teen movie thing, but I had to watch it because it was writeen by Tina Fey. I will post 10 things I like about Tina Fey sometime soon.

My favorite Freddy Prinze Jr movie is [link=http://imdb.com/title/tt0192111/]Head over Heels[/link] where a beautiful girl (who dresses frumpy) moves in with 4 supermodels, and gets made over. Then, she falls in love for F.P.jr's character who may or may not be a serial killer, but she is not very concerned and keeps going out with him anyways.
Turns out he is a secret undercover agent working in the fashion world to uncover the brutal blood diamond traders, and they all team up, the main character, the supermodels, and the undercover agent, to stop the evil guys. And there is a great dane named Hamlet.

those are the best movies. Can't Hardly Wait is really the best one thoguh. don't you dare steal my 25 year old playing a 15 year old dream. When I turned 22 I really felt like I lost my chance because that is the age when the guy who played Dawson on Dawson's Creek was discovered while majoring in sociology like I was at the time. Maybe there is still a chance....

You know what? I am WWWAAAY ahead of your game. I dug up that movie and watched it already, a couple days back (for about the 7th time) - and it was *all* Drew's fault. That movie was the first thing I thought of the minute.. no, the second I saw his first "10 things" list hit the estrip list.
Yeah, and I love pop movies and start crying the minute a James Horner/John Williams soundtrack screeches out of speakers. Heck, I don't even need any plotline - I cry watching trailers with emotional soundtracks.
So now that the basic qualifications have been outlined, do you think I could get a job too? I have one more year (maybe half) more than you. heheh.
And why pretend? I have stopped working altogether.

New Business CardsCategory: work
I ordered new business cards last week. They are just like my old ones, except with my new number, and a new blue back with a dandelion instead of the old orange back with a daisy.
They should be here on Tuesday!!! I can't help but check the tracking every hour.

The business day in ending! I think its time you took that phone off its dull hook and stirred up some excitement!

The cards have been on the truck for delivery since 6am - for 12 hours now! I am going to die. This is not quite as bad as when I've had to wait for delivery of a new Mac (but it's close).

I love being excited for packages like that.
and I am super jealous. i want business cards. i know I could just make my own, but I want a job that gives me some. I am always jealous of my friends who are way younger than me when they have cards. how stupid is that.

Now I'm afraid to leave my house to go meet with clients this afternoon so that I won't miss the cards... I am such a dork.

I keep feeling panicked that I ordered them with a typo actually. But i think it's going to be ok, i've proofread it a million times

Cheap (but good) 11x14 Prints!Category: deals
Adorama has 11x14 inch prints for $1.99 each until Aug 31: 
(e:James) and I have ordered from them a few times and have always been happy. Of course the framing is the expensive part!

Maybe I should take advantage of this and order some fake window scenes for my office, considering its under a ridiculous hillock.

those are sexy! well worth the wait!
I think it's the most beautiful *and lucid* font ever. I use it for my letters and reports mainly because I know that most of my recipients (till now) are all tottering steadily toward 3+ hypermetropic visions. The font is clear enough without being ghastly and plain - like other fonts in, what I like to call, the hypermetropics category. It is somewhat annoying that M$ Windoze doesn't have Lucida Grande on it, and I needed to install an approximate LG from somewhere.
I love the way the Mac fonts and colours look and feel - but I can't seem to switch completely because of one reason or the other - the foremost being that the software I work on (SAS) is so darned hideous and I don't have a license for the Mac version (if at all, that exists). Also, why is that, places like Roswell are all ultimates slaves to the M$ Garbage? They frown upon fine browsers like Firefox, let alone pure goodness like Opera. To add insult to injury, they then insist on using the pathetic excuse for a browser called IEeeks. It's just appalling.
Phew. I needed to get that off my chest. I realize now that 75% of my comment had nothing to do with Fedex taking 13 hours to drag their truck to your doorstep. :)
As a last-line attempt to steer this ramble into course - Congratulations!
Yeah, Lucida Grande, I choose a type face that was also available for use on my site, so they'd match, otherwise I'd have done a different font.
They look pretty neat. Is the font Lucida Grande?
