I stayed up far too late on Monday night and as a result I needed a nap really badly. But first I went to Best Buy because they were having this incredibly decent deal on DVD-Rs. A 50-pack was selling for $40 when it normally sells for $70! I was very torn about whether or not I should spend the money or not because I’d made a pact with myself, Ross, and everyone around me that I wouldn’t. But I am in quite desperate need of recordable media to back up the massive amount of data on my hard drives and I’ve needed to reinstall Windows for about 6 months now. Plus, by buying two packs of discs I was basically getting one of them free because I saved $60 total. It seemed like a wise investment to me, because it’s something I’ve needed and will continue to need. Besides, Ross told me if it bothered me to have spent the money I could just send all the discs filled with music to him. XD
I’m really tired again today so I think I’ll nap again before rollerblading. I really want to go tonight since I didn’t get to go last night (what with it being uber-windy outside in addition to me being deathly tired.)
I also watched Spiderman 2 last night, which sadly was pretty disappointing. I found myself pretty bored through most of it, wishing it would end. Dr. Octopus was pretty cool, but then again, I think Alfred Molina is awesome no matter who he plays. Kirsten Dunst was ditzy and annoying, and further proved she is only a hot body to ogle who cannot act to save her life. The inclusion of “The Importance of Being Earnest” as a play within the movie reminded me how stupid that film was despite the male leads being played by the delicious Colin Firth and Rupert Everett. drool So in a way, that’s sort of the opposite of the Kirsten Dunst thing…two actors who are good looking and good actors can’t even save a movie if the material itself is shit. XD I know “Earnest” is a classic and everything, and there are a lot of cute and funny things about it, but it’s just so *DUMB*.
I crocheted quite a bit and basically just sat around my room all night…it was nice for a change. At least Monday’s sour mood had cleared up by then and I was able to enjoy my time alone. I keep watching the “Ava Adore” video on my Smashing Pumpkins DVD because for some reason I’m really captivated by Billy. There’s just something about him in that video that I find extremely delicious in a creepy and dark way. After all, he has his head shaved as usual, is wearing this long black coat that accentuates his pale skin, and has this red makeup painted around his eyes. And of course, the vampire teeth (are they naturally like that? I’ve always wondered.) Billy has this very elegant and self-assured look to him, especially when he starts curling up his lip to the camera. I don’t really know why I like that so much, but it seems to affect me in the same way Giger’s paintings do…with this dark and disturbing but intensely erotic appeal. Mmm.
