froodleMan, I am going to have no money at all in October. I just got the email from Amazon giving me the release date for Iron Man as the 27th, there's already a ton of stuff I want that gets released then, plus it's Halloween so I'll spend shitloads on decorations and food shaped like bats and stuff. I guess I could offer to do some overtime at work, but frankly double and even triple time is not enough to get me to set foot in that hellhole when I don't absolutely have to.
Incidentally, I know at least one of you is going to suggest I just don't buy everything I want as soon as it comes out, so let me pre-empt you by saying: shut up, stop hanging around on LJ giving out useless advice, and go and watch In Bruges.
Which, by the way, is so awesome that I am watching it again right now, and I only came on LJ to share what is officially my favourite line in a movie that is entirely comprised of favourite lines: "Ken, I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't." I'd like to say I will use a variation on this at every opportunity, but it doesn't work for me as a) the island I grew up on is pretty much one giant sheep-fucking farm surrounded by ocean and b) although I am not myself retarded, pretty much everyone else there was. And is. So it doesn't really fit.
Fortunately, my second-favourite line in the entire film, "I believe, Ken, that the balance shall tip in the favor of culture, like a big fat fucking retarded fucking black girl on a see-saw opposite...a dwarf" is good for pretty much all occaisons. Or it will be, once I have perfected the art of bringing scale-tipping into every conversation I shall ever have.
