On Friday before the haunt dress rehearsal, I made my way to SoDo to go to PNTA to look for makeup kit supplies. I was thrilled to discover that they stock both Ben Nye and Kryolan (and was informed that they’re one of the biggest distributers of Ben Nye in the country) and simultaneously knew that having relatively easy access is going to be a problem for me because my kit is going to grow to monstrous size rapidly. Time to start pondering storage solutions BEFORE my place gets hoarding-level bad!
After the haunt, I went downtown to see Jackass in 3D with mrsamedi and one of his friends. Mock me if you must for enjoying Jackass, but for me, there’s very little more comforting in this world than watching idiots hurt themselves in increasingly entertaining ways. It’s the movie equivalent of a fuzzy blanket and chicken soup when you’ve got a cold. I laughed so hard that I believe I ruptured one of my internal organs.
All of the trailers before the movie were ridiculous. RIDICULOUS. Take, for instance, The Warrior’s Way:
When the line “Ninjas…damn” was uttered, we all fervently expressed our hopes that was the actual title of the movie. Ninjas…DAMN!!! Tell me that wouldn’t be a fantastic movie title!
After Ninjas…DAMN!!!, we saw trailers for Aliens…DAMN!!!, Cowboys…DAMN!!!, Jigsaw…DAMN!!!, and Vampires…DAMN!!!. Those are all solid movie titles, I feel.
It was nice to see Brendan again, I hadn’t seen him since we went to see Troll 2, which is far too long. I need to be better about calling people!
I think there is no better use for 3D technology than in a Jackass movie. None.
Nothing may top beehive tetherball and midget fights in 3D. It’s a high bar!

I need to go see Jackass. I’ve already run into four of the guys from Jackass just hanging out in my old neighborhood, and the liquor store they stole from at the end of the first movie was down the street from my old apartment. So, we have history. lol
I don’t honestly know what I would say should I run into someone from Jackass. “Thank you, your determined idiocy is one of my greatest pleasures”?
Well, if you were me when a very drunk Steve-O asked where the pisser was, you’d say, “Uh…over there.”
That works, too.

Jackass 3d was awesome. My brother and I laughed the entire time. The part where Steve-O drank Prestons sweat almost made me throw up! lol
The upside-down face battling with the scorpions nearly made me cry with laughter.

NGL, I totally popped a girl boner when I saw the preview for Warrior’s Way. CAN’T WAIT!
I actually really do want to see it but it would still be more appropriately titled “Ninjas…DAMN!!!”
“Ninjas? We don’t need no estinkin’ Ninjas!” >=]

I would absolutely see Ninjas…DAMN!!!, if for no other reason than that I’ve been waiting for over a decade for Geoffrey Rush to make another movie as ridiculously fantastic as Wannabes…DAMN!!!, and this might just be it.
Hahaha nice addition to the …DAMN!!! files there!

I have high hopes for Skyline, but a nagging suspicion it’s just going to be another example of Independence Day or War of the Worlds. Ie.: “A race of aliens that are so technically advanced that they can pilot gravity-defying ships across interstellar distances pick Earth as their target and are overwhelmed by super-cool humans fighting them with the equivalent of rocks.”
Just once, even if it were depressing, I’d like to see a movie play out the way it should. I’m hoping this movie does that.
If not, there’s always Monsters.
“A race of aliens that are so technically advanced that they can pilot gravity-defying ships across interstellar distances pick Earth as their target and are overwhelmed by super-cool humans fighting them with the equivalent of rocks.”
Russia vs Afghanistan.
But I don’t think that’s a fair comparison. For example, both sides were using AK-47s, and both sides were human.
I think a better comparison of invading aliens vs humans would be humans vs chimpanzees in the wild.
The Afghanis did not have airplanes, bombs, tanks. They had, at best, SA-7 shoulder-fire SAMs.
They also did not have nuclear weapons.
And a fair amount of help from the US in the form of intelligence and fighting guerrilla war.
And before that they got it from the Russians in fighting the British.
Exactly – not sure other aliens would help us with intelligence on the aliens. But they might. I guess if there’s one group of super-powerful interstellar aliens, there’s at least the possibility there are two.

I’m sorry, what movie are you talking about? I only recognize when you refer to things by their proper title, like “Aliens…DAMN!!!”.
ahhh:
Cthulu Alien…DAMN!!!”
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!

Looks like Ninja Gidan meets Lone Wolf and Cub meets Wild Wild West.
Totally gonna see it.
I’m not going to lie, I’m going to see it in the theater, even.
Wanna come with? Beers and burgers and damn dirty ninjas await.
Maybe. It will depend on what my schedule looks like closer to the date.

I have been giggling for like 10 mins about, “ninjas…DAMN!”
😀
I hope the producers reconsider the title when they see how much success they could achieve with “Ninjas…DAMN!!!”.
Or someone makes a spoof movie. I mean really, what else is there to say when you run into a ninja? It’s like, you’re fucked. You don’t know where they are, and if you did, you probably can’t fight them anyway.

That is, after all, how “Snakes on a Plane” came about…
Bless Sam Jackson for fighting for that title!

I haven’t any idea what sizes/shapes any of the makeup containers are, but here in Chile-world, all my jewelry supplies live in various types of Plano brand fishing tackle boxes. I’ve bought them at Kmart, Fred Meyer, Sears, and online via Bass Pro. You can customize most of the compartments with removable dividers, so it works out really well. They’re super durable, too. If you ever want to see masses of them in person, you could make a trek down to Cabela’s in Lacey.
This is my big one, which holds all my silver charms, cording and earring findings, and a bunch of tools in the three organizers below, plus several smaller organizers up top for other beads and findings.
I use this and this for stone pieces, and for stone beads (using various containers like urine specimen jars to contain the little buggers).
I have one of these and a few others I’m not currently using, if you want to borrow them.
Well, shit, apparently I don’t know how to code links. I are fail.
Looks like you just forgot a quotation mark in there, which is easy to do! I won’t hear talk of failure. 😛
I blame the Vicodin.

Tackleboxes do seem like one of the better options because they’re easily portable, pretty tough, and they’re especially good when you can change the size of the compartments. I’ve been carrying an art supplies box back and forth with me but the containers don’t fit very well. It’s just a way to keep my stuff separated from everyone else’s until I find something better.
I’ve used mine for years, and have never looked back. Plano has oodles of options, and I’ve gradually upgraded as necessary. That big one was my last major upgrade, and so far, it’s been fantastically useful.
I’ve even altered it a bit to make it more useful to me. I drilled small holes in the lid, and I keep my big spools of black and brown cord in there and thread the ends through the holes so I don’t have to have the spools sitting around on my work table. Works great! These things take a LOT of abuse, too; I’ve dropped all of them here and there and they don’t pop open or break, which is a huge relief.
Lemme know if you want to try your various sizes of makeuppery in my kits, to see if they’ll work for you.
Sure, that’d be awesome, thank you!
