I like bullet points

• Ebay is amazing. You can like - buy a fire opal. Why did no-one tell me about this before? ::searches randomly::



• I need to stop spending money, but it hasn't stopped me being tempted by damn Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. It's slightly shameful how much of a whore I am for interesting/pretty names when it comes to cosmetics.
  
  But they're so shiny...



• I have a Gandalf the White pen. It is not quite as swish as it looked on play.com. But I imagine hours of geeky (hidden) fun are still just waiting to be had with it. The pen is mightier than the sword, after all. So the Magic Staff pen ought to lay a smackdown on everything.

As my first weekend post-Veronica Mars haze, I was thinking about spending it completely away from the computer. Doing all those non-pixel-related things I should have been doing in the last two weeks, like finally using that make-a-necklace kit or reading some of my books. But you're all just very interesting and it's not fair. And it turns out that even when Veronica Mars is finished, I still have a bunch of films Veronica Mars has convinced me to finally get round to watching (like the Big Lebowski and the Virgin Suicides). And I sort of want to make some new filters and do amusing and insightful commentary for all my icons. So. Apparently not.

I went to the cinema last night. After going to Pizza Hut on my own, which was a First. I was rewarded, I think, when the waitress finally brought my (huge) pizza and told me she'd ordered a medium instead of an individual, and I'd be charged just the same but could eat whatever I wanted. In a word, score (even if I couldn't take the leftovers away due to cinema). Or it seemed like a reward until the fifteen minutes it took to get the bill. But I made it to the film, which was Nacho Libre, which was quite funny if not outstanding. It is about a Mexican friar who lives a double life as a Lucha Libre wrestler, with his best friend/a skinny guy he found on the street. There are lots of jokes about stretchy pants, and a pretty nun, and Peter Stormare turned up randomly as a roving gypsy, which was a nice suprise. It was quite good, even if he totally did it for the pretty nun not the orphans and there was no 'Barton Fink feeling'. It is vaguely recommended.

There was a trailer for Talladega Nights on too, which was quite nice of the world. It looks like it might be one of those films that expects you to be interested in the main character. But it has Gary Cole, aka Lucas Buck, aka the Midnight Caller, in it, and Sacha Baron Cohen still looks unbelievably hot in his green racing jacket, so I'm still looking forward to it, hurrah.

I'm sure I had better points to make when I started this post. But mostly I'm just planning to spam you with music then go back to all those jobs I'm meant to be doing. Hahaha!
