If you’re gonna be dumb, ya gotta be tough.

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!

Tonight, I went to the apartment complex gym to work out, and found the entire room was pitch black–a fuse must have popped or something, as repeated flicking of the lightswitch produced no result. One flick, and I could just be incompetent at lightswitch-flicking. Ten flicks, and I could be quite certain that something was indeed amiss. So what does one do when not working out is not an option?

One works out in the near-pitch dark to the eerie glowing lights of the machine display.

One works out in the dark, and on the way out, one walks face first into the stairmaster.

THAT is going to smart for a while. Ironic word choice, I know.

Also, today while taking out the trash at work, my pants fell straight off my ass. I hope and pray no one saw it, but with my luck, someone is likely uploading footage at this very moment to youtube.
