I is Goonie too!

Welllll last Tuesday my girlfriend and I decided to be rad and spontaneous and take a mini road trip for the day. The Goonies is one of the best movies of all time (and no that's not my opinion, it's fact) so Astoria seemed the obvious choice.

Right when we got there we had beer and hamburgers on the waterfront.. OF course.

After that we made fools of ourselves and acted like tourists while taking picture after picture infront of The Goonie house and the County Jail.. we also saw the bowling alley where Chunk smooshed his strawberry milkshake and pepperoni pizza against the window. Kindergarten Cop wasn't forgotten and we took pictures infront of the school as well.

I'm not able to upload pictures at the moment, but thankfully I took some pictures with my phone and was able to send them to my gmail.

Enjoy my beauties.

And wouldn't you know, as we were leaving I get texts from people back in Portland saying it was snowing like hellllla! (I was way bummed that I was going to miss all the whiteness and joy the snow brings.) Fast forward an hour and we're stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on I5 southbound. Miss brainiac over here (that would be moi) decided to drink a Rockstar right as we were exiting Astoria and had to pee extremely bad. So bad my bladder actually HURT. Too bad for me though because there was no chance of us getting off at an exit because the next one was 4 miles away. I braced myself for the moment where I'd end up having to pee in the waterbottle at my feet. A miserable FIVE HOURS LATER we make it to the ramp that was only FOUR MILES AWAY. We stop at New Seasons, I pee, we get back in the car.. and the son of a bitch died on us, then we had to find someone to electrocute the car. I finally got home and drank my weight in beer.

All in all I'd say the trip was a success.

Oh, and of course we had to stop by and say hello to my friend Jake!

You Talkin To ME?!

More importantly, you FUCKIN with me?!

You won't believe what just happened.

I don't believe what just happened.

Some guy just walked into my work and all he says is "Hey, call me a cab? Thanks."

I just stared at him for a few seconds, unable to process what he ACKtually just said to me.

"Do I look like a bar to you? This aint no hotel lobby home-skillet, I work at a mother fucking VIDEOSTORE. If you've got their number I'll be extremely generous and let you use my telephone."

He in turn says "I'm from L.A." ..looks at me like I'M the dumb one and then walks out to meet his ho in heels. WHO, by the way, has a cellphone in her hand.

I shouldn't even be surprised. Guess this is what I get for not getting myself an 'education' at a fancy school

Santa Likes To Fuck Fat Chicks In The Ass

Tis the season!

It's Christmas Eve here at the ol' Videorama so naturally I'm the one working. I open tomorrow morning also (that would happen to be Christmas DAY by the way)

I'm rather bored at the time being so I thought, buh loooog! I don't have much to say at the moment though, so I'm just going to tell you my 3 favourite Christmas movies (in no particular order..)

1. Home Alone

I've seen this one so many times that I know all the words by heart. And no, I'm not one of those people that says the lines while watching the movie. I HATE when people do that shit.

2. Elf

CLASSIC! If you don't like this movie then you're not allowed to be my friend. (Zooey!)

3. Badder Santa

I can see what Angelina Jolie saw in Billy Bob. The one liners are rad and so is Thurman.

RIP Brittany Murphy

Stuck in the Twilight Zone

A couple of months ago a Chipotle opened up right across the street from my work. Seeing as it's kinda my favourite food, this is probably the worst thing that could have happened to me. It's almost as bad as if a Taco Bell had opened up across the street. All I do while at work is stare out the window and envy all the people eating the amazing burritos. I'm quite certain my manager has grown to hate me because all I do is talk about how bad I want it but can't afford it. (I know it's only $5 for a huge burrito but.. I actually don't have ANY money) So I'm forced to sit and salivate.

TODAY however was a different story. I started the day off complaining about how I was craving Chipotle (nothing new) I mentioned it a couple times and then stopped whining about it. Then almost 2 hours later a man comes in with 2 big bags that say CHIPOTLE. He sets one on the counter. Jokingly I ask, "Those for me?" He replies with a "Yes" I'm confused at first but then he tells us he's the general manager and decided to bring us some burritos. At this point I'm freaking the fuck out. He gives us the bags and right before he leaves he says "Hope you like pork." I stand there and my manager looks at me and just laughs. ...I'm a vegetarian...

I get so upset I pop a vicodin and think twice about taking another. I was already in a foul mood and this didn't help whatsoever. I start eating my feelings (saltines and cream cheese) and try not thinking about my crazy bad luck. THEN the worst thing you could possibly imagine happened.

A friend that works at Starbucks (Hey Deneb!) came in with a bag and goes "you guys want a burrito from Chipotle?" I got extremely excited and then found out that it too had meat in it. I nearly cried.

I think Alanis Morissette would have something to say about this situation

Feast on THIS

Update: 12/28/09
I caved and finally bought Chipotle before work this morning. And it made me sick and now I'm going to go puke it all up. OF course.

Short & Sweet

I almost drunk blogged. I know.

The other night I was home.. all alone.. watching Alias and then I got drunk. (Yes I get drunk by myself.) ANYWAY, I was pretty deep into the 4th season and all the episodes were really sad (parts of them anyway) aaand I was getting pretty emotional. I mean, I cried 4 episodes strait. Then on the season finale.. boyyy did I bawl. My immediate reaction was to blog about it. It's times like those that makes me thankful I don't have internet at my house.

If I DID have internet..

Me the next morning.

If Chunk & Sloth Fucked..

Then you'd have SOME idea of what this customer looks like. Don't get me wrong, I love the uglies but this guy (or should I say young man) has also got the most annoying personality of ALL FUCKING TIME. He calls in constantly, yells into the phone, brings movies up to the counter and says "I wanna buy this" WELL YOU CAN'T FUCKING BUY IT BECAUSE ITS A FUCKING RENTAL!!! I tell him that everytime he comes in, he just doesn't get it. My manager hates this kid too, he is so ridiculous, obnoxious, annoying, disgusting, unpleasant and revolting. THE worst.

You might be like, hey take it easy now! IIIIII don't think so. He just called in and omg.

Our conversation:

Me: Videoramaaaa

Him: What are your new releases that came out Thursday?

Me: Actually it's TUESDAY but the big ones were Terminator Salvation, Paper Heart and Night At The Museum 2
Him: Ok that's it?

Me: Nooo, there are like 20 other ones

Him: Ok well read them off to me then

..I proceed to tell him all the movies that came out..

Him: Ok, do you have The 10th Kingdom?

Me: Yes

Him: Ok, I know I can't buy it but can I pay more and buy it?

Me: WTF! NO!

Him: Ok bye

Tell me the truth, that's annoying as fuck right? I'm not just overreacting? Ok, thank you! I didn't think so.

And he also has a friend that looks like Randall Boggs from Monsters Inc.

I'm on a mission
