"Never mistake movement for action" - Earnest (best name ever) Hemmingway





I frequently come across, even at some of my favorite business institutions,  bad customer service. So what is there to do about it? Complain of course. But complaning, like EH said, is not action unless you do something about it.

That is why I love "Contact Us" on business websites.

Once at Costco (Heaven on Earth) I had an uncharacteristically bad trip. Long story summed up - everything that could have gone wrong before even getting to the door did - but everyone was nice and apologetic and basically made me feeel good about being a customer there even when they were having problems.
THEN
at the door - the employee couting items realized that my water bottles were not on the reciept. They forget to charge me for the water bottles under the cart. So instead of appologizing for the inconvenience and letting me know of my options of going back and paying or leaving the water the horrible employee does this - in this accusitory voice he says"
"You didn't pay for those"
pointing at the water.
I didn't really know how to respond
I paused
so I just said "I just won't keep them then"
He just stood there... tapping his foot... waiting... for me to take it off my cart.

I got in my car, called Costco (you know I had that number in my phone), and I let them know how that whole thing went down.

I DO THIS TYPE OF THING ALL THE TIME!
People think it's weird.

But if I go to Jimmy Johns and the Coke tastes bad - I email them.

If I go to Central Market, and have a great experience all around, except for the abrupt awful rudeness of the catering people. You know they get an email about it.

If bathrooms are in a state of disrepair - you bet that place gets an email about it.

I love it.

I email businesses more than I email friends (that's not true, but lying is fun)

Waltz

a good makes for a good interesting and powerful movie scene.

cases in point.

The Waltz for Eva and Che



they are not in love, that's not the point of the dance

Che (Antonio) is more of the narrator of the story and not an actual character

you know this song played on repeat for 3 weeks after i bought the album

i love 0:55-1:15 where you see her face as she realizes she loves him

May 2011 Hair Style laziness

perfect top bun

I love the fact that I can take a shower, brush my hair..... and that's it... just wait.
When my hair is very nearly dry i pull it up high. Secure the bangs with a bobby pin or two. Secure the back baby hairs with one pin.
And VIOALA - Work approriate hair.

I got it just to get picture messages from my sister

the iPhone 4 - white even.

We Get On Lyrics

Kate Nash love.

I think I could call this my favorite song based on it's lyrics alone.

It's everything a girl crazy about a boy who doesn't care/notice/remember her thinks and feels.

Here are my stand out fave parts (I really just wanted to post the entire thing and I don't usually notice people's eyes but....)

And that time you shook my hand. It felt so nice.I swear I never felt. This way about any other guy.

I conducted a plan.To bump into you most accidentally.

And I was wearing this dress. Because I wanted to impress. But I wasn't sure if I looked my best. 'Cause I was so nervous.

I don't even have an opinion.On that tramp that you're still seeing.

I want to do my hair like this soon.

ALIENS EXIST - Blink 182 (90's fools)

I'm not even kidding - this is the scariest thing in the whole entire world to me.
Every time I see this part of the movie I, with out a doubt, shriek and freak out like a little girl. Just opening this on Google to copy and past the picture put me in a panic. I got sweaty and had to lean back away from the computer screen.









I've just spaced so much so I woudln't even have to see it while typing.
I LOVE being scared, I'm super into the X-Files right now - for one reason, it scares the crap out of me, I'm terrified the whole entire 45 minutes of each and every episode.
And Secondovly - David Ducovney



I audibly react to things he says and does - like he gets so close and into Scully's face in a not sexual but a sensual (but not in a come on) way. I "ewww" and "ahh" and "uhhh".


When Scully is listening to the tape where he talks about his sister's abduction and the shrink says "do you believe" and he says "I want to believe" I gasped so loudly and was completely astonished at my own reaction even.
It's Stellar. (Punny)



I love when Merrill is watching the TV in the closet. So funny.
