my cup of tea

just wanna talk about two huge loves of my life....

no not my kids....

closed captioning/subtitles
and epilogues (in books and movies)

ok... yes... i realise i am not hearing impaired...
but... for some reason i like having subtitles and cc at the bottom of the screen....yes it drives my husband and my sister crazy....because it is unnecessary and annoying.
the thing is... i have no solid reason of why i like this....i still have the sound loud enough for me to hear.... i feel like this is a crazy lil old person quirk... that i just happen to have at age 25....well... i have prolly had it since i was 22 or so... there is really not much to say about this.

next.... epilogues...
i love them. i super love them after movies... well as long as they are positive...or funny...or made up... i like the made up ones.
i mean... a movie followed by a blacked out screen but then in white writing:
bob and dick fell madly in love and they started an alpaca farm that is quite successful to this day.
or...
the princess and her unicorn eventually left the prince. they live in a lovely townhouse overlooking a pond....the prince decided to marry the witch...she found a great wart remover and is actually quite fetching for a green skinned person....also she knows how to magically enlarge things...so everyone did in fact live happily ever after.
ok... and after tv shows they are great as well... cept there are a few i did not like that i can remember that aren't positive at all...but true... so it makes it worse.
examples:
"jon and kate gosslin started divorced nonsense on june something and blah blah"-i paraphrased
me and my sister watched this like hour long special on this kid novembre... yes it was years ago but i still remember his name... he had like this huge tumor on his face and like the drs found a way to fix it... kinda... i mean he still looked odd... but not as scary odd... and he was like getting around and playing with the kids that had shunned him before.... and then at the end
"novembre died a year after shooting this"
uh................................................lame. needless to say me and my sister were outraged.
(*sidenote* thinkin of this... did anyone ever see the special called, "the boy who's skin fell off"? i watched it... and i kinda wished i hadn't ....if you are not sure if you did... he had a casket made for himself that had a can of baked beans on it... hm... did ya see it?)
anywayssss....
now that you think about it ya kinda are a fan of epilogues as well...huh....kinda why lots of people like facebook/myspace...so you can see the epilogue of peoples lives after highschool.
i enjoy epilogues in books but am not as excited about them...so...yeah...


**slight pause cuz i have to clean up the mashed and chewed up "tuky meatand cheees" sandwich that zoe has smeared on my arm and leg...you can take this time to think about how much you like icecream cake....

ok... well now... i dont think i have much to say... i think i'm gonna be...
done.

happy 2nd of july

epilogue to this blog:
shortly after typing this up... beki found a skirt to wear instead of pajamer pants and gathered up her girls and went to meijers to buy food for our camping adventure... on the camping adventure her fam had more fun than your family...and looked better as well...also bob and dick bought an alpaca farm.
