Lunchbreak blogging

Dear coworker who was stumbling across the parking lot with your hands covering your eyes:

I know we just got screwed with the paycut and everything, but you can get sunglasses for super cheap at Target. Or The Dollar Store. And if you forgot your sunglasses in your car, you'd probably get there a whole lot faster if you just squinted and didn't completely block your vision.

Cheers and sunshine,
Displaced Urbanite

Things I loathe

In random order:

1) People who, within a few minutes of meeting me, announce to me how great they are. If you really are that great, you'll shut your yapper and realize that I'm smart enough to figure it out. Otherwise, you just knocked yourself down about 1000 points in the greatness scale.

2) Parking lots. The bane of suburban existence. Idiots congregate here and plot their plans to destroy the world- one bad park job at a time.

3) Humidity. Mostly because it reminds me that I do not live in California. Yet.

A plea to the entertainment industry

Stop with the bad remakes and revivals of shows and movies that never needed to be remade or revived. It's really starting to wear on my nerves. First, the sad, skanky 90210 revival in which they have successfully destroyed not one, but two, of my favorite characters' happily ever afters. First, Kelly gets the short end of the parenting stick when Dylan ends up being a deadbeat dad to his and Kelly's son and then David chooses Japan over Donna.

I'm totally annoyed with this new 90210 reality, but I can live with it. Maybe.

But today, I came across a travesty that can only fall under the category of sacrilege. Looks like Footloose will be getting a remake of its own with Gossip Girl's, Chace Crawford playing the role of Ren McCormack. Almost Paradise? Far from it. No one messes with Kevin Bacon. I am boycotting. Or maybe I'll go dancing and take all my footloose friends with me and stage a protest in the theater lobby.

Everybody cut, everybody cut- this remake. The original is perfect.
