Read question #2.
Is 75%-85% really supposed to be good enough?! Maybe I'm just commitment-phobic or maybe I've seen too many romantic comedies, but geez. I don't think 3/4 really suits me when it comes to the rest of my life!!
But ask me again when I'm unmarried at 30...I might be okay with "mostly".

I hate to stereotype, but...
...every single car that's cut me off in traffic this week has had at least one "Obama" bumper sticker on it.
I realize that his popularity makes this a statistical possibility, but I've seen my fair share of "McCain" stickers on cars that were not being driven by crazy people.
This is not a political statement, but a warning to those who do make them: if you don't want people to hate what you stand for, drive nicely when it's plastered on your car!!
That goes for Jesus-fish people too!

Here's the thing about Alamo Drafthouse Village
So, I had the kind of day that made me want to escape into a movie with a glass of wine. Since I don't have a DVD player or any alcohol at home, I decided to find a show at the Alamo Drafthouse I wanted to see. THis is one of the lovely things about living in Austin.
Tonight, however, it was not so lovely. I saw the the presidential debates were streaming at all the Drafthouse locations, and that was fine. I found the movie I wanted to see, and it was only showing in one place, all the way across town. So, I double checked the times and knew I could make it. I clicked to buy tickets online, but decided I would rather pay in cash, so I canceled the sale before it went through. So, I fought traffic, found the theater and went to buy my tickets. Lo and behold, the screening of the film I wanted to see was cancelled to provide more room for the debates.
WHY CAN'T THEY UPDATE THE WEBSITE WITH THAT KIND OF PERTINENT INFORMATION?? It's not like I checked hours in advance. I was within an hour of the movie's start time, AND it was going to allow me to purchase a ticket for a showing that was cancelled! If I hadn't rushed across town, I wouldn't have been so bothered, but after that I ended up lost and frustrated and movie-less.
So, to anyone who runs a website...UPDATE IT before people drive across town to go to things that no longer exist. Thank you!

Here's the thing about Casey Wilson...
So, this skit from SNL is hilarious, except for one thing. Casey Wilson.
Now, I've made it clear that I'm not a fan. I'm sure she's a very nice and talented person, but I can only go on what I've seen on Saturday nights, and thus far, I'm NOT impressed.
The thing that really bugs me about her is that she tries too hard to be funny. This skit is obviously a vehicle for the genius that is Kristen Wiig. (Side note: I was not a Wiig fan at first, but she won me over by creating GENIUS comedy.)
So watch this skit, laugh at Kristen's oddball character, and pretend to ignore Casey Wilson's attempt to BEG for laughter with her trite, obnoxious vibrato.
