Tuesday Titter

Titter #1: Autumn

Autumn is my favorite.

It suits my clothes.

Prepare to see the brown turtleneck at least once a week until May.

Get used to this sweater; it will keep me snuggly until the first blooms of spring.

Titter #2: Free Stuff.

My social life is pretty lame these days. I spend my time in dimly lit rooms staring up at a screen surrounded by popcorn munching spinsters (my peeps) and the noise of straws battling the ice to slurp the last bit of soda. Yes, I am a movie nerd. I mentioned this earlier here. I take this job very seriously and have applied for a little thing called the

REGAL(al. al. al) GOLD(old. old. old.) CROWN(own. own. own.) CLUB(ub. ub. ub.)

This plastic gem earns points just for feeding my sad addiction. Simply presenting this card whilst paying what is equivalent to a mortgage (hello $9?) earns points. When you have enough points (and you are unable to eat because you spent so much money at the movie to earn them) you magically earn a free soda, free small popcorn or the pinnacle…

A free movie ticket. Ah.

I not only flaunt my movie-nerdery at the theatre, I also give props to my homies at the video store. I joined their nifty club called the

BLOCK (ock. ock. ock.) BUSTER (uster. uster. uster.) REWARDS (well you get the idea).

This club had some up front dues (the most prestigious clubs usually do), but for an entire year I not only have the privilege of carrying around an extra piece of plastic but I also reap some pretty sweet benefits.

All of this just for doing what I love.

Titter #3: Pushing Daisies

Quirky. Dark. Light. Odd.


I love this show. It is refreshing to see a creative concept come to life and hold my interest for a full hour.

Basically, there is this guy, Ned, he can touch dead things and make them come back to life. He ends up helping a detective solve crimes. Ned owns a pie shop that reminds me of a scene from a Strawberry Shortcake episode.

His "gift" has some stipulations. If he touches the reanimated again, they will go back to their death. Also, he can only keep the person alive for 60 seconds. If he doesn't touch them again another person has to die in their place. In the first episode Ned brings back Chuck, his childhood crush. He chooses to let her live and now can never touch her again.

The show is a delicious visual treat. The bright colors make you feel like you are looking through a story book.
