semperfiona | Late night...

I wanted to see Death to Smoochy at the discount theatre near work. It turned out to be showing only at 9:15, so I wasted the intervening three hours by going shopping at the mall. On a whim I went to Wilson's Leathers, and found a clearance sale: 50% off the lowest marked price. The selection was very picked over, and there were very few sizes available, but I got a black leather miniskirt and a blood-red leather bodice for a total of $40 (original price would have been closer to $200). Then I went to Hot Topic looking for shoes. They only had two pairs even close to my size, but one was too small and the other too big. I went to Supermarket of Shoes instead and found a pair of shoes and a pair of boots, again both on sale. After that I went and splurged all the savings and then some, buying Rosa the beginnings of a summer wardrobe. Doorknobs for my new doors, which are due to be installed tomorrow and Friday, a frozen custard sundae, and it was time to go to the movie.

I quite enjoyed it. It had that dark comedy vibe that amuses me more than straight comedy. Like Heathers, people were getting killed all over the place, but it was funny. And the whole premise was so completely absurd: jealousy over the kids' show crown.
