It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that a single girl in possession of a pert tushy (and wearing rather tight yoga pants) must be in want of a discount.
Man at Video Store: Looks like you have some late fees.
H: Uh... well, yeah. I turned one in empty last time. *nervous laugh* please don't think I'm a complete retard.
MAVS: *laughing* That would be The Score, right?
H: Yeah. Sorry about that.
MAVS: No problem. But what about The Secretary? That was late, too.
H: What? I thought that was due the day after the other? *sigh* handing over a ten dollar bill
MAVS: Nah, don't worry about it. Your total is $3.97.
H: For three DVDs?
MAVS: Discount for taking my recommendation. *winks*
H: *laughing* Thanks.
MAVS: See you later.
Will continue to let Man at Video Store make rental recommendations if it means not paying for them. Have no problem accepting such gifts. Afterall, was not prancing into store thrusting cleavage at poor fellow. In fact, was post-gym sweaty, make-up less and probably less than appealing-smelling. Is yoga pants, am certain. Just too booty-licious.
Seven pounds to go. Am certain that weekend binge-eating did not help. But was praying to gods of higher metabolism that wouldn't be too huge of a setback. But, dear GOD, how hard is it to lose 10 pounds?!
Posted by This Fish at May 6, 2003 09:07 AMFreebies at the video store do have a way of perking up a dull Monday. Glad MAVS appreciated and duly compensated fantastic yoga pants and their flattering powers!
Oh, and what did you think of Secretary?
Posted by: windowsill wendy at May 6, 2003 10:22 AM"Mavs" sounds like something we should call Madonna now. Maybe it's just that it sounds like "Madge." It's kind of "Madge" and "Babs" put together, that's why I like it.
You must be doing pretty well for having had a weekend binge and NOT having gone back up to the original ten - just imagine that your "exercise soldiers" held the line at 7 against the "food-binge invaders."
Let's see a picture of this bootylicious ass. (In the pants, of course. Oh my. *blushes*)
Posted by: Michael at May 6, 2003 10:58 AMLoved it. Such a smartly done movie and the acting was superb. I like that the erotica envelope wasn't pushed too much, either. It was pretty well balanced, thematically speaking.
Posted by: Fish at May 6, 2003 10:59 AMGlad you liked it. I rather enjoyed it myself!
Posted by: windowsill wendy at May 6, 2003 11:18 AMHahaha. Amazing. Video Stores rob me of all of my money too. Then I discovered "Videos Demand". It's kind of like pay per view without the late fees. And of course, without the guy at the counter hitting on me. I wonder which I prefer...
Posted by: Joe CuttheShit at May 6, 2003 01:14 PMWay to go on the Free rentals.
If you figure out how hard it is to drop 10lbs let me know, I can't even seem to get 5 off. If it's possible I'm pretty sure working out and eating less is in fact causing me to gain weight. Arg the battle of the bulge.
Posted by: Drowning Fish at May 6, 2003 02:19 PMLoved it. Such a smartly done movie and the acting was superb. I like that the erotica envelope wasn't pushed too much, either. It was pretty well balanced, thematically speaking. wow, brilliant.. please speak thematically some more.
so you would have been disappointed if the "erotica" envelope was pushed further?
I show up places all sweaty and stuff and people run screaming from the room. Guess you've got what it takes.
We typically don't rent movies anymore. Ballbuster just takes too much of a cut. We go freebie and get vids from the library (they have DVDs, too). We can keep the things for two weeks and, surprisingly, there are newer titles available, too.
Posted by: Texas T-bone at May 6, 2003 02:24 PMRalph - YES. I hate when anything is overplayed. Too much erotica is just as ridiculous as too much slapstick.
Tex - YOGA Pants my friend... you must wear yoga pants.
I would have to say. I think guys are a little more clueless about things when Yoga pants are involved. I have often been fooled by this ploy. A few times even remarking "you smell nice" only to get; "I just ran and didn't shower" and THE LOOK (you are very sweat but fool of sh*t) Maybe ALL my sences loose blood flow.
As a guy, I feel prison raped after every visit to the local Buster-Block.
Posted by: camera at May 6, 2003 04:45 PMMan, oh man... I bet you must be ripe.
Posted by: Jonathan Lamb at May 6, 2003 07:32 PMI can't for the life of me understand why somebody isn't researching/coming up with a fatless, carbohydrateless, and yet delicious source of chocolate goodness. Or a vaccine! That prevents the goodies from being converted to globules of fat. The so-called health bars pack on just as much fat and are inferior. I've been off my treasured sweets for 4 weeks and while I look much better, I am starting to go mental!
Posted by: Katherine at May 6, 2003 10:25 PMRe: Chocolate - GF swears it is a vegetable. Me, i don't use it, get nauseous and headachey so have not investigated truth of claim. But i offer her words, for those of us who find them useful.
Re: 'Yoga pants' or any kind of exercise gear. Yep, what IS that? Let's not kid, my post-exercise appearance in such gear leaves much to be desired, yet people (esp. the MAVS type of guy) always check you out .... oh wait, got it! ... i look so crap they're sure i'll be grateful for the attention
Posted by: Erin at May 7, 2003 01:44 AMIf I wore yoga pants, I'd clear a room in record time! Tee hee!
Posted by: Texas T-bone at May 7, 2003 09:46 AMI haven't visted the 'buster since I got my Netflix subscription. As many dvds as you want, shipped to you in prepaid return envelopes, no late fees ever.

Just watched Secretary. That Maggie Gyllenhaal has a ridiculously cute smile.
