I hold grudges against inanimate objects


Photos of my cat cuddling with my computer accompany this post. It's cuter than any of the things I'm going to talk about. Also, it shows you the two things I spent the most time with this weekend.

I am quite forgiving when it comes to people. However, I will hold a grudge for the rest of my life against certain films, songs and pants.

Ex-boyfriend who cheated on me and wouldn't pick me up from the airport when I was sick so I had to puke in the trashcan while I waited for the bus? I forgive you! Thinking of "The Prestige," on the other hand, still sends me into fits of rage. And that song where the guy asks if he'll still be my Superman, the one from like four years ago? I'll punch you if you make me listen to that song. I'll punch you good.

Then there's those saggy-butt Banana Republic jeans I bought six years ago. They looked awesome when I tried them on in the store. Three washes later, they loosened up and made me look like I dropped a load in my pants. But I was broke and didn't have a lot of clothes. So I had to keep wearing those pants and looking all dumb. (I did eventually give them away, but I still resent their existence) There's a pair of Diesel jeans that I have a similar relationship with. They weren't even expensive (thrift store), but I still feel like giving them away is admitting defeat. Jeans can be such assholes.

I bring this up because this weekend I watched two of the worst things ever. "Hot Rod" and the "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" movie both are so terrible that I want to hunt down the people responsible and make them watch "The Prestige."

I love the Lonely Island guys and ATHF, and they let me down. I am disillusioned! I may never get over it.

One word: Juno.

What about Juno was bad? Be honest. I don't want to waste my movie money if its bad nor do I want to drive out of town for a disappointment.

What about your pants?

Juno was good. It wasn't as much of a comedy as I was expecting. However, it was funny, well-written and emotionally honest. It wasn't tied up all neatly morally, as you might expect, but it had heart.

As for pants, I have these jeans that go a weensy bit too high in the waist, which makes them sometimes uncomfortable. They also make me look skinnier, which is not an effect I look for in clothes. But they still look better than those stupid banana republic jeans that made me look like i had no butt.

You may be better served by a straight leg jean with a low rise. A boy cut if you will. I must wear a boy cut because my hips and butt are smaller than my waist size dictates the size pants I should wear. This makes cuts for "hippy" women look awful on me. It looks like I took a dump in my pants but the waist will fit. It was annoying until I found straight leg. Now that you have trusted me with your face, perhaps you will let me shop with you. I see studying an Audrey Hepburn style for you.
