Lists!

This one's for Sunny, since it's her fault I'm thinking in this manner these days.

Okay, I did the favorite books, so let's go for my ten favorite films. I already tried to do twenty a few days ago--I imagine this list will look different.

That reminds me: on Sunday, Martha asked me about Project Runway, and I was like, "Yeah, I've been watching it, and I am bitter about the dismissal of Kit," but then she wanted to keep discussing it, and I was like, "Shut up! There's a football game on." How rude of me. But, I mean, that Patriots game was making my brain short circuit.

I also got this weird myspace spam today, from some girl who was like, "I see you like Carrie Underwood, here's where you can listen to her new album online" or something, and I was like "What! Carrie Underwood? How dare you!" I fucking hate Carrie Underwood. That was not festive at all.
