Everyone

Yesterday I hit my favorite used bookstore. It's my favorite because they have the largest selection of used books (latest releases to hard to find) at very cheap prices. Anyway after hours of browsing I took my arm load of books up to the counter to check out.

As I was standing there watching the girl ring-up my books, she suddenly held up one of the books I was purchasing and asked, "Have you read this book?" After biting my tongue at the first flippant remark hello, that's why I'm buying it - to read it. that popped into my head. I politely told her no. Her next remark was, "Oh I have and it was good, but the ending really sucked. The rest of the book really had me on the edge of my seat to the point I couldn't wait to turn the page to see what happened next, but when I got to the end I was so disappointed. I can't believe the author ended the book like that."

At this point I'm thinking ok where's the hidden camera, because I must be on some reality practical joke show. My mind refused to believe that she would just say that about a book that a customer was going to buy. I mean come on no one is that stupid, right?

So I looked around - nope, no camera's no one coming up and saying "Ha ha this is all a joke you're on Girls Behaving Badly." - I looked back at the sales girl and asked her if she was serious or is someone playing a prank here. She looked at me all confused and answered, "huh?" I told her never mind and then politely told her that I changed my mind about the book and I didn't want to get it. Then picked up my purchases and said, "Good luck with getting employee of the month, because you have my vote for stupidest," and walked out of the store.

Here are six J/C moments that I turned into icons.

When I read this article first thing this morning I thought I was hallucinating since I hadn't even taken a sip of my first cup of coffee. But after consuming half the cup and reading the article twice - twice because I thought this was some belated April Fools day joke. It wasn't - the sad reality hit me.

Here's the full article from Variety.

Edit - I just looked on NBC Universal Media Village which has their prime-time schedule for Monday April 9 @ 10pm Thank God You're Here IS slotted in place of The Black Donnellys.  It doesn't get more official then that folks.

I just read this article - the second in as many days

This is sooo depressing. I hope that Higgs and Moresco release the full season on DVD. I would really like to see the remaining 8 episodes.

When I saw Johnny Depp in his first movie (Nightmare on Elm Street) I was hooked and have been going to his movies ever since. His most current role was as Captain Jack Sparrow ::sigh:: who would drool over a pirate like that? I sure do. Anyway, the third installment of the POC series is due out on May 25. I can’t get enough of this guy!
