Went to a movie with dragon_mintz and koschei23, we saw "The Brothers Grimm." Really nailed the feeling of old fashioned fairy tales on the head while being really funny in places.

Very gruesome in places. Not for the kiddies.

Century 16 has the newest DDR machine I've ever seen. It had Duran Duran's The Reflex on it. Unfortunately, the difficulty levels are "boringly easy" and "harder than I can do." Dammit.

Also, left my wallet on the DDR machine before the movie. Thankfully, it was still there when I realized this after we all ate dinner. Well, it was in the lost and found. With everything still in it. Sometimes human beings do the right thing.

But, yeah, the movie kicked ass. I could go on and on about European attitudes towards wilderness in folklore etc, or the actual Brothers Grimm stories (I have a paperback of all of them somewhere, quite a few of them are just plain vicious), but....meh.

Yesterday I went shopping with dragon_mintz and was happy with my purchases. A bra, three pairs of undies (quandry: why is it a pair of underwear but only one bra?), and a pair of pants.

OMG. Found pants. That fit. And were on sale. Hot Topic had black dickies pants ten bucks off. Yay, work pants that fit and don't make me feel fugly!

Bought a funky-ass bra. Way comfy though. Go Victoria's Secret. Also, had help picking the undies. *evil giggle* Advantage to same-gender relationship--shopping for undergarments in the same store. Talk about buying something you know they'll like.

Mir music in downtown Hillsboro is having a grand re-opening. If I have time I'm going to go poke around.

Also, going dancing tomorrow night, woohoo!! I'm pretty sure what I'm going to wear, and dragon_mintz has already decided her clothes etc., which is Yay.

Oh, and btw: I actually do know why it's a pair of panties and only one bra. So...there, or something.

Grrr. Went to bed at two and woke up at seven, and haven't been able to sleep since. WTF?

Warning: The quizzes contain grammatical errors. I'm not perfect, but people should know the difference between "your" and "you're."

There's a crossover between The Princess Bride and Lord of the Rings over here. I haven't seen (or read) The Princess Bride in a long-ass time, and it still gave me a case of the giggles.

Random quote:

ORC: I’ve just sucked one year of your life away. I might one day go as high as five, but I really don’t know what that would do to you. So, let’s just start with what we have. What did this do to you? Tell me. And remember, this is for posterity so be honest. How do you feel?
GOLLUM: Baggins! Shire!
ORC: Interesting.

EOWYN: Bye bye, boys!
MERRY: Have fun storming Minas Tirith!
EOWYN [to MERRY]: Think it will work?
MERRY [to EOWYN]: It would take a miracle!

So I'm lying in bed sniffling from allergies even though I took my allegra, and I was trying to remember the name of another allergy med I'd tried, that was actually meant for indoor allergies (like, say, Floof the cat). I can remember what it looks like, what the sample blister looks like, but I can't remember the name. I knew it started with a Z sound, though, and I kept trying to think of drugs that start with the Z sound. It turns out I know far too many drug names, because here's what I came up with:

Zomig: migraines
Zithromax: heartburn
Zyprexa: anti-psychotic
Zyban: a brand name for buproprion, which is also sold as Wellbutrin. Zyban is the name it's sold under when being used to help people quit smoking, and there's some irony in the fact that all the people I can think of on Wellbutrin (except for my mom) are smokers, whether infrequently or frequently.

But can I remember a stupid allergy drug's name? Psht. No.
