Sidetracked

We tried to go look at engagement ring settings today to no avail. Both of the jewelry stores we wanted to check out were closed. We're supposed to try again on Monday. This whole ring thing is beginning to be bothersome. The first guy we saw about settings hasn't gotten back to us, and it's been a month now. I hope we're able to do something soon, dammit. I don't want to have to throw a tantrum. It's not pretty. I get all splotchy. Instead of looking at settings we saw Talladega Nights, which cracked my shit up. Look, I know it's silly, but Will Ferrel makes me piss myself. He's so willing to make an idiot out of himself, and I've just got to respect that. And he surrounds himself with talented people. I laughed so hard I hurt myself. I'm pretty sure I annoyed the other movie patrons, but screw it. I'm a loud laugher. Can't help it.

Ricky Bobby: Help me, Jesus! Help me, Tom Cruise! Tom Cruise, use your witchcraft to get the fire off me!

I also noticed while we were waiting for the movie to start that almost every TV show and movie they previewed was about heroism. From a show called Heroes to a new Kevin Costner film, The Guardian. I take that back. They were either hero movies or horror-ish movies, like The Grudge or Wicker Man (a remake of the controversial cult classic). Says a little something about the world we live in today, eh? Although I am very interested to see what they've done with Wicker Man.
