They're planning to make six Spidey sequels. Yes. Six (6). Spiderman. Sequels. Not like that's a bad thing, the movies are vonderful, but SIX?? What are they trying to do, clone James Bond? (Note to producers: If you must change the lead actor, please keep him at least as cute as Tobey.) I can see it now: A 63-year-old woman (me), wizened with age, stares at the moving sidewalk beneath her. (I will always be easily amused.) She noticing flashing lights (shiny!) out of the corner of her eye and looks up. On a digital movie marquee, the headline heralds the latest summer blockbuster: "SPIDERMAN 6: THE MID-LIFE CRISIS." The lady smiles sagaciously, knowing that later that night her grandkids will hound her with questions. "Gram-gram, tell uth the thory of when Tobey Maguire wath Thpiderman!!" "Well, a long time ago, in the days before the AobFWU (currently in 18 countries), there was a very very bish high-school dropout who..."

You know what's interesting about radio stations? Wherever you live, there's a few radio stations that you know really well/are really popular. They even have their own connotation that goes with them. Like, 88.1 would be cool because it's Top 40 (booo!!), 108.3 would be for weirdos cuz it's improv jazz, and 109.5 would be my favorite becuase it's "adult contemporary." But you could go into the next state or time zone or country, and those stations would have totally different connotations, or maybe not even exist!! It feels really weird... instead of hearing "Hot 99.5" you hear "Oldies 99.5" You can tell who's REALLY from your area. If the preset radio stations in their car are really bad or nonexistant stations, it means the driver's from out of town, stole someone's car, or stole someone's car out of town. Either way, don't trust them. *shifty eyes*

In movies, during battle scenes and stuff, characters that have no other purpose except to die (and possibly grunt or groan in pain) get shot and die within 3 seconds of getting shot. But minor/main characters always seem to linger on just long enough to say something cryptic/resolute/hopeful or painful/angsty/wise or whatever, and just long enough to get their big close-up too. Maybe the bad guys just can't aim right when they know they're about to injure someone important. Or maybe the director/screenwriter/whoever is overdramatic. Or the actor didn't just want your basic grunt-and-die. Speculation is fun!!

Dana & I were watching "An Extremely Goofy Movie" on TV, and some random stupid fat guy said, "The only thing you could ever win is a loser contest! *chortle*" We thought about that and were very confused. Win...a loser contest. If there were such thing as a loser contest, wouldn't you want to lose? And if you won, that would be, like, losing, because it's a LOSER contest. But would there be any winner-losers, because all the people in that contest would be losers, but then they would be winners....AAAAAAH!!!! I'VE CONFUSED MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!

When we were on vacation, a sign said "Home of the North Carolina Azalea Festival."
So I said, "I'm feeling festive. You know why? AZALEAS!!!" And there was much hysterical laughter in the backseat, and many confused looks in the front seat.

Dark chocolate is my favorite kind of chocolate. Milk chocolate is okay, it's just not chocolatey enough. White chocolate is not okay. As Laura once put it, it's like it's betraying real chocolate. White chocolate just tastes oily, because that's what it is! There's no actual cocoa in it. HELLO?!?! Who came up with that idea? The entire reason we eat chocolate is to consume COCOA.
I also love coconut and almonds. So you could never guess my joy when I found a DARK CHOCOLATE ALMOND JOY on our vacation. They normally only make milk chocolate. It said it was a limited edition, so I kept the wrapper, just as a reminder of a few bites of heaven. *sigh*
