I'd rather stab a fork in my eye...or go to a Super Wal Mart. (With a fork in my eye.) Random Tuesday Thoughts.
Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 4:42AM 
Holy crap, it's Tuesday. That kind of snuck up on me. I think I need a day off. Anybody want to host?
...Bueller?
...those crickets I can hear in the background?
No? Okay, fine. But ONE DAY I will be taking a holiday.
You know what to do!
(I assume. But you know what happens when you assume. Ha! I just made an ass out of you!)
(Okay, seriously, you just write a random post. Then you put the fugly purple button on it that I keep saying I'll re-design and you link up. Got it? Good.)
I just got back from seeing Sherlock Holmes with hubby. We were apparently the only people left on the planet that hadn't seen it, because we were the ONLY people in the theatre. Hubby got existential: "If nobody shows up, do they play the movie?"
Mmmm, movie theatre popcorn.
Mmmm, Robert Downey Junior.
Our sitter got here a little early so hubby & I booked it. To kill time we went to the new Wal Mart. I know, we really know how to party.But it's a SUPER Wal Mart so I've been scared to go. I needed backup. And it looked like there were massive amounts of cars in the parking lot, but it turns out that when you get inside? There are a lot of places for people to hide. It doesn't look crowded when all the occupants of those cars have the space of 12 football fields to spread out in.
Anyway. There are Regular Wal Marts, and Super Wal Marts. I think they need Sub Wal Marts for scaredies like me. Like, JUST the pharmacy section. Way off in a field. Behind some trees, so nobody else knows it's there.
On second thought, I think I'll just become a recluse.
Mmmmm...Robert Downey Junior...
Anybody want to Cliff Notes the Olympics for me? It's terribly un-patriotic of me, but I just don't care.
(Yeah, I just verbed Cliff Notes. And verb.)
Hubby is playing Commodore 64 emulators on the computer behind me. Earlier he remarked, "I can't believe I wasted so much time playing these games when I was a kid." Obviously feels the way to remedy that wasted youth is to play them some more as an adult.
I go for groceries every Monday. Today I didn't think I needed much, but I ended up spending close to $200 anyway. Diapers and meat, those screw me every time. I thought, if I could just get rid of those purchases, I'd save a ton of money on our grocery budget.
Then I thought, Who the fuck are you, woman, and what are you doing in my brain talking about grocery budgets??
More undead Disney characters.
I just realized I actually DO need someone to host next weeks RTT. I have to go away for business. Which sounds really interesting and official, but it's really just a road trip with my boss to a pissant town in the middle of nowhere.
Which sounds like it could be really spicy and intriguing, but no, it's really just a road trip with my boss to a pissant town in the middle of nowhere. In other words, it's very likely that I'll come back with a fork in my eye. Or he will.
So, any volunteers? I'll send you the fork as payment.

Oh yeah, it's the Brave and the Bold around here.
Random up, guys!

randomaraama... Wal mart does sound scary, I've never even been to a little, ickle, bitsy, witsy one!
I live in the middle of nowhere and you should see the people who come out of the woods to go to "the" Wal Mart. In fact, if I had to take you, I'd need that fork.
In my hometown Walmart is the only place to go. Everyone hangs out there. And as soon as the put the Super Walmart in it will be the official hangout for stoners at 2AM.
The shady url site is great. Have fun on your jaunt with the boss. Wal mart, ugh!
Wasting time on emulators is the only way to achieve the perfect life balance after wasting time on the same games as a child. Reaching that equilibrium is so important and Hubby is doing the right thing.
I like the Olympics. I just don't like the announcers.
Work trips are never fun. I don't care where you're going.
Super Walmart is weird. It is that place you never want to go, but you end up there all the time.
Oooh me! Pick me! Ooh! Oooh!
(heehee)
I like the idea of a sub Walmart, maybe with like only 10 aisles and a friendly, local shop owner. Oh wait, that used to be a called a small business owner...
We have a Super Walmart next to a Sam's Club. There are humans everywhere in the parking lot, but hardly no one inside. I think they just like hanging out in parking lots.
We don't have Super Walmart in our part of the country (apparently, real estate is too pricey for Walmart). I wanted to see Sherlock Holmes but sadly I don't get to go to the movies unless it is a kid movie. I did see Percy Jackson.
I had a Commodore 64! Sold it for $25 about 10 years ago :)

I try to go to our Super Wal-mart only during the week. The weekends are just plain scary.
I haven't seen Sherlock Holmes yet, guess I'll be waiting for the DVD.
My parents have the Commodore 64 video game in their basement. I'm pretty sure it still works. I think Jimmy Hoffa might actually be in their basement too.
Hmmmmm, Robert Downey Jr. Yes.
I can totally get down with that. Hmmmm. I saw this with my hubby a couple weeks ago and the theater was empty then, too, fyi. How is this movie a success??
The shady URL site made me laugh so hard! I need to employ that for a tweet and see what happens. Actually, I shall experiment by using it for the tweet I'll announce this post with. Thanks for that!
Great random, as usual. I am keeping mine extra light and fluffy this week after all the agita with my son.
Maybe you can get diapers and meat at a Super Walmart?
I think I just made myself a little sick by writing that.
Copy that about Robert Downey!
I think it's about time he dropped that Jr. shit. He is obviously very manly nowadays.
Sherlock Holmes? Parent of a Toddler here and, uh, I am pretty sure that one is not out on DVD yet.
I'm in on the RTT too. Cheers.
Don't feel bad, I haven't seen the movie yet either. I haven't seen a regular Walmart in FOREVER! I've been a Super Walmart girl for years now :)
I agree with you about WalMarts. Some of them are JUST TOO BIG.
I don't have as much bloggy traffic as you do, but I'd always be happy to host a RTT. :)
I can't offer my services since Mr. Linky doesn't like me and I'd probably offend too many people, but I wish whoever does luck.
Super Walmarts always intimidate me, but if I leave there without being kicked, punched, or humiliated, I consider it a successful shopping trip.
I have not seen the movie either. Glad to know I am not the only one. And all we have is a super walmart. It's huge and obnoxious and always busy cuz there is no where else to go.
They still show movies in theaters? What's that like?
Oh, Robert Downey. I think I need to Netflix Iron Man.
Oh, good! Someone else who doesn't care about the Olympics. I don't feel so alone now.
Movies, what are those? With a toddler and a pregnant wife I don't think I've seen a movie in a theater since Star Wars, not the good ones.
That last link was full of awesome sauce.
For 3 days I thought womens curling had to do with weight lifting.
Queen of Random!
Commodore 64 - I forgot all about those and that was a good thing to forgte. SOmetimes, things from my childhood are sooo embarrassing. I'd like to be from a different generation please....and NOT the one that lives at Super WalMart either!
