suck it up

so, for reasons that will not be gone into here (but i can't promise they won't be explored further another time, take that one to the bank) i found myself at the south dunedin video ezy at 2215 on a saturday night. shout out to robert smith just there, too. 'sup.

i was looking for something that would take me out of my own life for 110 minutes and possibly make me laugh till i cried. i'd already seen role models, and i could not bring myself to watch a grown up film, so i left benjamin button on the shelf.

i made it to the counter with the following weekly hires, because i knew in the crazy mad month of june, they're only $2 each during the weekend:

>knocked up
>what happens in vegas
>trainspotting
>unbreakable

and then i saw the sign that said "5 for $8". so i went back and got

>amelie

because i couldn't find 'junior' with arnold in it, and for reasons that are glaringly obvious, i could not bring myself to enquire as to it's whereabouts

and then i discovered that the liquorking on hillside road is open until 2300, so i availed myself of it's convenience and purchased a bottle of sauvignon blanc, just in case the 2/3 of the bottle i had left was not enough. the fear of never enough (of anything) is a driving force in my life, and could be responsible for some of the questionable decisions i've actioned thus far

and then i got home and discovered that the 2/3 bottle i had taken out (don't ask) had leaked all over the new bottle and the dvds. bonus.

so now i am watching knocked up for about the 5th time, because it has paul rudd in it, and seth rogen with his growly bear hurr hurr hurr laugh. the scene at the moment has lily allen's 'smile' playing in it, and the pavlovian response for me is to eye my phone.

paul rudd and seth rogen notwithstanding, i would rate this outing a suck factor of 8/10

and this post probably 6/10
