Random Stuff

Ugh, my feet hurt like a painful hurty thing today. I went to DSW to return a pair of shoes (because they hurt my feet), and came home with three new pairs of shoes - one of which (the ones currently on my feet) hurt more than the ones I returned. I swear to God, the women's shoe industry has ceased to make footwear and is now deliberately constructing torture devices. I love DSW for their wide selection, because for every three pairs of shoes I buy, I return two of them.

I'm also sore from working out a lot this weekend. I swear, sometimes I think the abdominal pain from the Crohn's hurt less than the exercising.

I finished watching Tin Man yesterday, and I rather enjoyed it, despite Zooey Deschanel being stoned out of her mind the entire time (or at least that what it seemed like). I really wished they'd stop talking about "the O.Z." though. Every time they said it, it reminded me of The O.C. and I found it incredibly annoying. 

I also just finished watching Dexter season 3. I felt like this season was a little off, but I'm still a big fan. More detailed thoughts tomorrow probably.

My boss is out of the office for TWO WHOLE WEEKS, so you know what that means - lots of Netflixing at work! I've gotten tired of watching random, not very good indie movies, so I'll probably try to make a dent in the TV shows you voted on in my poll. I've still got Rome and Six Feet Under to get through, but I'm doing those by mail, so it looks like Dead Like Me is up next for instant watching.

Of course, I've added a whole bunch of shows since my last poll, lol. My Netflix queue is now at 448. o_O

I hate shoes with a blazing passion because they always hurt my poor abused feet.

Have you posted about Dexter? I keep thinking I'm waiting for your big reaction post. Did I miss it? Season 3 is not as great as the first two, I think. Are you going to move on to #4?

Netflix is great, isn't it? You've already been through Farscape, right? That's next on my list.

I have posted about Dexter. Here's my season 1 and season 2 reaction posts. Netflix doesn't have season 4 yet, so I'll switch to something else for a while and come back to 4 when it's available.

I LOVE Netflix. I had Blockbuster before, but I never, ever used the in-store exchange, and I am now addicted to Netflix's watch instantly feature! It's doing wonders for clearing out my queue, lol. Now if only I would stop adding things, I might actually start making the numbers go down...

I haven't really seen Farscape. I know I watched the beginning, but I haven't seen more than the first season, and maybe not even all of that. It's in the queue!

If you are looking for good indie movies on netflix instant view, a couple weeks ago I recommended Fear and Trembling, The King of Kong, and Cashback. Me and You and Everyone We Know you have to order the DVD, but I think it's definitely worth it.

Or just stick with the TV. :)

Unfortunately I'm too commitment-phobic to start something else. I can't afford to have another Buffy in my life.

I'm pretty sure I've seen Me and You and Everyone We Know. It must not have left a great impression, though, because all I can remember is the title, lol. Will check out the others, though.

Finding a show that invokes such fannishness is rare for me, so I'm not really afraid of getting too attached. :)

It's definitely a weird one: pretty surrealist, and doesn't follow a lot of conventions when it comes to plotting / cohesion / closure / having an obvious point. It's one of those movie's that either you adore or don't get at all, and I don't blame anyone for being in the latter camp (e.g., my boyfriend, who usually has a very similar taste in movies). It's all just a matter of taste, and possibly the amount of time you've spent hanging out with circus folk and performance artists.

The other ones are much more conventionally quirky.

I just love season three because of Miguel.

I hate shoes. I have wide feet, and it is freaking impossible to find anything. I pretty much have to buy wide sizes, and heels are really impossible to find, even if I want to wear uncomfortable shoes. Right now, I have a bone to pick with Clarks brand. Their clogs are great, BUT-- I have been unable to find ones that have no heel. A 1" heel is still a heel. And if you're walking around all day, it matters. But I suppose no one wants to be the height that they actually are. Or something. I used to have this great pair of Clarks clogs that were flat. They were more comfortable than tennis shoes (which I hate wearing).

Yes, Miguel is definitely one of the highlights. :)

See, my problem is that I LOVE shoes. I love heels and I love funky styles... and if I could just sit all day and never have to walk in them, it'd be awesome. The problem is that I DO walk a lot, and none of the cute shoes are ever comfortable. It depresses me.

Ah, shoes... Sucks you end up taking so many back!
I'm very picky when it comes to shoes. I know what I don't like and it seems that's the only thing they have in the stores!! *facepalms*

I am not going to read your post about Dexter season 3 until I'm finished with it so I'll bookmark it. (Same with Chuck season 3).

That is a LONG Netflix queue!! O_o

I've gotten absurdly picky about shoes. I won't buy anything with more than a 1" heel anymore, and if I sense even a hint of discomfort when I try them on in the store, I won't buy them. And I STILL end up returning more than I keep.

Not good. :(
