Stephen King books are hit and miss when it comes to movie forms though. The Shining was the best and he HATED it. He disowned it. The Kubrick version, at least.

Anyone seen the movie Pi?

Yeah. It was ok. I didn't love it.

[QUOTE=Steerpike]My life is music, movies, and books, not necessarily in that order.

I've been watching a lot of movies lately because I'm about debut my first short flicks this summer. I want to pick up on as much as I can for inspiration. And Carnival of Souls really got me thinking. I have to wonder why it isn't more famous.[/QUOTE]
The one from 1962 or '98? It sounds pretty cool.

So I just got back from McDonalds, and here's why I hate the place:

1. Before I even get in the place I get mobbed by a begger asking for money. I wasn't in a good mood so I didn't give. I should have told him to go inside and ask for an application.

2. I wait in line for 10 mins before anyone takes my order.

3. My order:
Me: "Can I get a number two and a cheese burger, please?"
Her: "Ok, a number three and a cheeseburger, anything else for you today?"
Me: "I wanted a number two." (Do these people speak English?)
Her: "Oh ok, your total is $5.27"

I hand her a twenty and say "Hold on, I think I have the 27c." At this point a look of confusion comes over the lady's face, obviously because she didn't graduate from elementary school math and couldn't understand I wanted an even $15 back. So, I dig in my wallet, retrieve 27c and give it to her. She punches it in and when it lists change of $15 she says "Oh, that's what the 27 cents was for." ...No shi[size=2]t[/size].

Then I wait another 10 minutes for my order. When it does come out, surprise surprise, it's a number three. When I mention the order was wrong the cashier says, "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you ordered a number three." Wow.

Five more minutes for the correct sandwich to come out.

4. I sit down to eat. While eating, yet another begger, female this time, comes up asking for some money. I'm especially not in the mood now. I answer with a firm "No." The bitc[size=2]h[/size] says "As[size=2]s[/size]hole" as she walks away. Oh, I'm sorry, am I the cause of you being a no money burnout?

For the next year, Taco Bell is getting all of my money.

/Feeling much better after typing the rant.

Solution: Eat at Hardees.

Or if you're on the West Coast (specifically California) In N Out.

Taco Bell > McDonald's. By far.

Fake Mexican food FTW!!!

[QUOTE=PinkFreud]Yeah. It was ok. I didn't love it.[/QUOTE]
:o I love that movie, I think it is brilliant...but to everyman his own.

After working in a bagel store, my patience for that stuff goes down, because it's really not hard.

Besides Taco Bell >>> McDonalds

I do always prefer the Bell above all, and Hardees for burgers, But tonight I was in a McDonalds mood. So much for that. Should've just gone for some quesadillas or a thickburger.

Hey Steerpike, have you read the Eragon/Eldest books?

[QUOTE=Deth]Del TAco>>> Taco Bell >>> McDonalds[/QUOTE]


Fix'd. I love the soft Chicken tacos. Four at a time.

Theres a Mexican food shiop by me called El Cotixan. Freaking amazing carne asada fries. I crave those day and night. Not very good burritos though.

I've never been to Hardees. None around me.

[QUOTE=Deth]I've never been to Hardees. None around me.[/QUOTE]

You're missing out. Their Thickburgers, as they call them, not only are the best for fast food, but they easily rival anything you could get at a sitdown place.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]I wouldn't go that far, unless your sitdown places really suck, but their roast beef sandwiches set my world ablaze.[/QUOTE]

Heh, they do suck. The only places to get a sitdown burger within an hour of here is Chili's or Applebee's...Both of which, at least the ones here, serve a pretty piss poor burger.

By the way, I've always wondered what your user name means...Care to enlighten me?

Wendy's is good too.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Wendy's is good too.[/QUOTE]

Not much of a fan. A Cheeburger Cheeburger just moved in here. It's sooooo good.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Wendy's is good too.[/QUOTE]

I like Wendy's burgers (the triple decker is an excellent mouthful), but their fries have always been sub-par to me.

Checkers has some good fries.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Checkers has some good fries.[/QUOTE]

I haven't been to Checkers. There isn't one around here. I really like Popeyes and Roy Rogers fries.

I'm a Mcdonalds whore. But yeah cjborton, the fries at Wendy's are far fromt he best, but the spicy chicken sandwich I like a lot.

Hey Chris, yeah, I go the email, but I couldn't load the video.

Okay, this is embarrassing, since I'm wearing my work clothes to Uni, since I have to go straight from Uni to work, and I will be majorly pressed for time, I think.

It's half-an-hour of driving from JCU to Coles, and I start work at 4.30. Problem is, my lab was pushed back so that it ends at 5.

Fun, huh?

Good times, indeed. Wonder why the video didn't work? Anyway, it was titled "Why mommies don't buy dolls for baby boys" or something like that. The video showed a baby boy in his crib with a girly doll and he basically goes to town humping the doll. It was amusing.

Hm, Dire Straits?

I think it means: "I'm rolling my eyes because this thing isn't quite driving me crazy but it's pretty close."

Just a guess.

It'll be finer when I'm off of work and can hit the sack. Other than that, just keeping smile on my face by constantly reminding myself I only have 4.5 weeks left in the Army.

What's your plan for post-army?

[QUOTE=cjborton]Hey Lucas, you planning to be online at all this weekend? My PM tune is a couple hours of work from completion and I'd really like for you to give it a critical listen. I always appreciate your thoughts on my material.[/QUOTE]

I wasn't originally, but I certainly can be. That tune you had was great, and I'd love to listen to it. Just in case I don't happen to be on at the same time, though, my email is:

[email]lshine@slc.edu[/email]

EDIT: Congrats on not being in the Army for much longer.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]What's your plan for post-army?[/QUOTE]

Gonna go work for my uncle in Wisconsin. He owns a flooring business and is hooking me up with a job to pay the bills. May go to gunsmithing school next year.

NP: Sabaton - Primo Victoria
I love the beginning of this song when he's singing and then the music slams in as he says "...lines!" Great tune.

No needs to change plans, Lucas, I'll just email it to you or wait until next week. I should've had your email address earlier, you've missed lots of good forwarded jokes :).

You're in the Army? Didn't know that. What are you doin there?
