Oh Happy Day!

June 4th, 2008 by Evil Beet


I went into Laremy’s office to whine about two things:

1) The fact that I didn’t have a laptop charger and my laptop was dead
2) My inexplicable bad mood

I left with the following things:

1) A laptop charger, so I have a working laptop again
2) A complimentary copy of The Andromeda Strain miniseries DVD — which I was pissed about missing when it was on television — courtesy of the production company, which perked me up

There is an important lesson here, kids:

Whining works. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Oh, and also, I just remembered that my period is supposed to start tomorrow, which totally explains the inexplicable bad mood.

    watch the 1st half, be impressed and intrigued to finish the story – watch the second half and be prepared to make fun of the horrible writing!

    The miniseries is a big disappointment. I haven’t watched one since middle school (Stephen King’s “The Stand”…love it) so I was all excited to watch another doomsday miniseries. But no…it was no good, in oh, so many ways. But you’ve got it on DVD….so save it for a rainy day. It does have Eric McCormack in it, showing off a hot man-bod.

    My hubby & DVR’d it & I thought it was okay. I agree that the 1st half was better than the 2nd. I watch LOST & I LOVE JIN!!! (his character name, Ida know his real name) & who knows with that show,but it appears that he dies. And he’s in The Andromeda Strain so it was great to see him again!

    I still can’t believe that after 13 years I’m still like “Why does my stomach hurt? Why am I crying at that Hallmark commercial? Why do I want to strangle this cashier?”…..I still haven’t figured it out. So don’t worry Beet, you’re not alone. Periods still perplex me too.

    Oh Beet,
    If you’re wondering about the bad mood, it can totally be attributed to the Seattle weather. I know you just moved here a little while ago and haven’t experienced the soul sucking-osity of this gloom for too long…..but that’d be my guess. Perk up! It’s supposed to get sunny in a few weeks or so!

    We REALLY don’t want to hear about your period Beet.

    Whining works…if you’re a cute blonde girl.

    You don’t have to be blond, you just have to be pretty. :)
