Hi, ladies! How are you guys doing?
I started my Netflix account back up on Friday, and ordered the Wii streaming disc, too. I spent a good chunk of last night explaining to my parents how to use it and that no, I'm not being charged by movie. They love it now that they understand how it worksWe were building up the instant queue and now have a ton of old movies, alongside all nine seasons of The X-Files (my favorite show EVER).
Then I got to work tonight and there was a birthday card from the facility owners sitting at the desk for me! Inside was a Starbucks card for $20! I wasn't expecting anything at all (a couple other employees have had birthdays since we opened in November, and as far as I know, they didn't get anything), so it was a huge surpriseI don't drink coffee, but I do love their coffee-free drinks. And THEN one of the day shift ladies hands me this little white card and tells me that I can have it and to look it up online and see what it is, because she had no idea. It turned out to be a $100 gift card for a website called Dining Dough, which I then used to redeem four $25 gift certificates for four different restaurants here in Chicago.
And if the Blackhawks win tonight, they get the Stanley Cup![]()
Quick! Run out and buy a lottery ticket as well!! FANTASTIC!! It's nice to be appreciated like this.
So, you'll be spending your time watching your downloads rather than being here?
I loved the X Files too. Didn't think much of the big screen movies, though.
I'm at work and don't have any cash, so no lotto tickets for me tonight
Maybe I'll stop and get one tomorrow before work
Well, with the Wii, I can stream it on my TV, and I can always watch in another window if I do it on the computer, so I will be around
The X-Files are what made me love sci-fiPlus, it doesn't hurt that I've had a crush on Nicholas Lea (the guy who played Krycek) since I was 14 years old
I would've been happier with the movies if they'd found some way to have Krycek in them. I sort of sometimes have a habit of watching movies just for the eye candy

What do you mean??? Isn't it all just about the eye candy? You mean you actually watch a movie for the story line????![]()
Depending on the storyline, yeah
The funny thing is that sometimes I'll watch a movie for one piece of eye candy, but then get completely stuck on another piece of eye candy. Case in point, The Losers. I wanted to see it for Jeffrey Dean Morgan, but not even a minute in, I completely fell in love with Chris Evans. I love geeky boys, and his character was just adorable to me

I'm into the Twilight movies at the moment - just like the books, can't decide between the Pattinson and Lautner. Pure eye candy...and they are both way too young for me!
And I just googled JDM and CE - I haven't seen The Losers - as I was curious. Yes, I think I'd have the same dilemma with these two boys too...
Good Morning Lasters....... it's my first official day of summer!![]()
Last day of school here today! DD's 5th grade graduation is today!
Hi Liz Welcome back! we were concerned when the tornado was in your state..how close was it to you?Good Morning Lasters....... it's my first official day of summer!![]()
Yeah have a great time!Last day of school here today! DD's 5th grade graduation is today!
DD is gone to Grandpa's until I can get there on Monday. Everything went well. She was sad and cried some when it was over. (Also when she had to leave me to go to Grandpa's...) She is excited about her Disney surprise and only worried that I would want her to ride RnR which she fears the thought of. Of course she doesn't have to worry about that. (Mom is the thrill seeker in this relationship!)
Can't wait until the end of the school day in a hour and a half. The music teacher always plays the Hallelujah Chorus over the intercom system after the bell!![]()
