What?!!

I was shopping for some breath freshening strips for for my long-haul jet travel coming up. And I saw this one thing on the shelf - it was some sort of spray-on "mouth wetter"- it introduces moisture to the inside of the mouth. The thing was a little over 5 bucks.

Take a minute to think about this.

It introduces moisture, essentially - water, to the inside of the mouth. Ummm.. why.. umm.. can you not.. umm.. you know.. umm.. drink water? Drinking water has water in it. And it wets the inside of the mouth. So.. umm.. duhh.

I guess they moved out..

So, I watched two movies yesterday - A Night at the Museum, and The Devil Wears Prada (I know its a chick-flick. Don't judge me.)

There was this one scene in A Night at the Museum where Ben Stiller is having a dialogue with his family. His kid is sitting near the window of their New York city apartment. You can see the view outside the window. Its the view of a New York street, and its very distinctive since you can see down the length of the entire street.

Now, in the other movie, this one character is hit by a New York city cab, and she is put into a hospital with casts on her legs. This other character drops by to visit with her. The camera pans over to the other character, who has now moved to the window in the room. And lo and behold, its the same view outside! I guess Ben Stiller's family moved out of the apartment, and it got converted to a hospital ;).

Just fyi

Happy Feet, or maybe not so much..

I just finished watching Happy Feet. The only 2 reasons that I watched it are:
1. I couldnt find anything interesting at the video store in the 5 mins that I wanted to spend there.
2. I have to return it tomorrow, so made myself watch it to get my moneys worth.

Ho-hum. I didnt really think they were happy feet at all.. All the singing and dancing was a bit over the top. I loved cars with attitude, and fishes trying to find their way back home.. But singing and dancing penguins was a bit too much for me. At some points in the movie I was hoping theyd shut their singing, and their on-the-verge-of-irritating tap-dancing, and just get on with it. And its beyond my understanding how the humans in the movie can comprehend that a bunch of tap-dancing penguins, probably on weed, are conveying something to them. I hope the kids who watched this movie liked it, coz it doesnt get any votes from me.

"Ramone" and his troupe seemed to be the only almost-funny part of the movie.

Moral of the story - spend more time in the video store selecting a movie, and its ok to not watch every movie you get just coz tomorrow is the due date.

Not my quotes

"I wonder what the people from Star Trek did out there other than get into trouble every week."

Some ad on the radio for arthritis medicine for the fingers - "Most people dont know how often they use their hands." - WHAT?!

Again, on the radio:
Guy1: Would you like to take care of your eye-sight?
Guy2: Sure, why not.
LOL - Thats like saying - "Would you like some fries with that?", "Sure, why not."

In Will and Grace: "I was voted "Most Confident" in my low self-esteem support group."

On TV - ".... maintaining speed allows the driver to reach his destination." Duhh! The last time I checked, if you dont "maintain speed", you aint goin' no where.

Really funny

I'm not really fond of really hyper-active comedians. But I was watching a show on tv tonight, and Lewis Black was doing a stand-up routine. And he is really really hyper-active. A lot of movements with his arms, a lot of screaming and shouting, and a whole lot of swearing. But I really liked his act!! I thought he was really funny. He talked about really simple things like bottled water, soy-milk, and showed how corporations make us buy whatever stuff they churn out. And he talked about it with what felt like real conviction. It was really hilarious with the way he was bugged by all thats happening, and the way that he presented his aggravation. Its been a really good while that I havent "LOL"ed. But I was almost "ROFL" for the whole hour-long duration of the show!

There may be bugs..
On some o' you mugs..
But there ain't no bugs on me.

Gosh. This jingle is stuck in my head.
