Where are the Goonies Now

So yesterday I finally got to see Return of the King. Hoollleeee crap. So sad, and so amazing at the same time. Out of all 3, it was the one book.. that while watching it, it was everything that I expected with the book and how it would appear. Of course, another of the sad parts of it, is that there is no more. I cannot wait for the extended version this fall.. and then probably next year the OMG HERE’S THE SUPERDUPER 80 HOUR EXTENDED VERSION boxset.. you know it’s coming! how long can you sit on your couch? I don’t know how people did Trilogy Tuesday! I barely survived the 3 and some odd hours of just RoTK.

So in light of seeing Sean Astin yesterday, I forced K and Marc to watch The Goonies last night. God I love that movie! Though at the end we watched the Cyndi Lauper video for The Goonies R Good Enough.. .and wow.. I can honestly say I DO NOT remember that thing being that messed up*L* OH and I thought that the “new” Orc leader in RoTK, looked like Sloth.. which was another reason I wanted to watch the Goonies.. No one can resist Sloth’s theme as he shouts out HEY YOUUUUU GUYYS!

stupid things today

that bothered me.

1. Person crossing the street. I understand you have the right away, but please understand that your slow ass is holding up turning traffic and potentinally creating an accident. Walk faster foo!

2. Stupid lady waiting in phone booth for the bus. I wish I had been walking, I’d have decided to need to make a phone call and then gave her hell for being so dumb, as to not be wearing proper winter clothing.

3. Chapters employees. Don’t argue with me about a price when the sign says right in front of you “All video game books 20% Off”.

4. People who walk their dogs on city streets in the winter and not put any kind of protective coverings on the poor dog’s feet. With all the chemicals, melting salts, rock salt etc that are put all over the roads and the walks you would think that you’d know how corrosive that stuff is. It’s obvious to see what it does to cars, leathers, clothing, why do you think that being on bare sensitive skin is any less harmful? Not to mention the dogs lick their feet when they get irritated or cold, therefore ingesting all of that horrible stuff!

5. All I had to do was freaking climb! Oh, and getting that ribbon? how in the hell is someone supposed to figure that out? Stereo installation instructions are more simple!!!!
