stash & shallowness

[toastykitten]

So we didn't actually end up at H&M. Jess got there first and it turns out there was a two-hour wait to just get into the store. We ended up shopping in Macy's and Urban Outfitters instead. And my shopping urge is still not quenched. Grr. Later we found out from a more fashion-informed friend that there will be a third H&M opening right next to the H&M on Powell, and one in Sun Valley Mall, so Jess, you won't have to BART over to SF for that!

This is my stash: A pair of pants and and a shirt from Macy's. I think I should just get a Macy's card, so I can get the coupons and additional discounts. If anyone needs cookware, their pots and pans are 40% off the lowest price right now. Tim Biskup and Pete Fowler coasters for 2 bucks each for a set of four, and the Lewis Black book, hardcover, for $5 from Urban Outfitters. The set of coasters I really want, though, is the Junko Mizuno ones, which I haven't been able to find anywhere. I love the Urban Outfitters sale section. There's always some good stuff there amidst all the junk.

Later Mark and I watched a movie with some friends. It was called Exit to Eden, and is based on an Anne Rice novel, stars Rosie O'Donnell and Dan Aykroyd. That is all you need to know. Anyway, it's funny, and weirdly dated. Mark mentioned that all the women had "eighties' asses". Ok, I'd never heard of that, so I asked him what that was. He said, "Long, flat asses." Apparently asses come and go in style - the trend right now is "bubble butts". What I don't understand is how one would be able to shape an ass into a particular style. Maybe women did different workouts back then?

Spelling errors are my pet peeve, especially glaring ones that any educated adult should be able to catch. I caught a few this weekend:

TiVo's new download service (for series2 owners) includes CNet's reviews of current gadgets. (Let's just say CNet editors are not necessarily TV people.) In this segment, someone held up a sign that misspelled "capacity". Seriously, shouldn't someone have caught that?

In Firefly, on the last disc, there are a few really sweet special features. On one of them, they talk about Serenity, the ship, and its role as its own character. Someone holds up a blueprint of the ship, and on it, the dining room was misspelled as the "dinning room". Apparently in the future, we no longer dine, we din.

There's going to be one at Sun Valley?! WOOO!
Why is there a third H&M next to the first one? Wouldn't it be one big H&M? They didn't make the building big enough when they built it? hahahaha! Sounds crazy to me.
We didn't check out the one on Post, I wonder what that one was like. I might go to H&M during the week. I'm afraid it will still be a war to get clothes. And I hope they restock so they have my size.

I was looking for the Firefly DVD set, but I didn't find it. I'm obsessed with watching the series. (Saw the movie, never the show)
Dinning, haha. You'd think someone could spell if they are able to create something as complicated as blueprints.

Urban Outfiters had Junko Mizuno coasters, and I never saw them? Blast them! Of course they were sold out before they all went on sale. It's always the best ones.

Brilliant!

And I LOVE the 'asses' tag...;)

No, Urban Outfitters doesn't have them. But these places do (http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=junko+mizuno+coasters&hl=en&hs=Awr&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&sa=N&tab=ff&oi=froogler). I'm just too cheap to pay for shipping. :P

Re: "It was called Exit to Eden, and is based on an Anne Rice novel, stars Rosie O'Donnell and Dan Aykroyd. That is all you need to know. Anyway, it's funny, and weirdly dated."

Is it one of those deals where they've dated it due to a connection to a dated starting point? Isn't "Exit to Eden" some kind of spoof on "East of Eden", the old James Dean classic? I have no idea, but the titles brought that idea to mind....

Actually, no. It's one of the things you miss while being away in Japan. :P You know how there's this weird, perverted sex cultural underground in Japan? This movie basically explores the American version, or the American version as it was in the eighties. The only attractive people in this movie are the protagonists, and their acting abilities are about equivalent to soft-core porn.

Anne Rice is known here for her homoerotic vampire novels.
