Stupid ipod

My stupid ipod (which is also named Edward) is now 1/3 full. I've had the thing two years, and in that time I have constantly daydreamed of lighting it on fire and inserting it sideways in Steve Job's posterior. It's a four hundred dollar paperweight. I can't believe how badly it works. But I am stuck with it, as the Apple genius people said so. I tried to return it within the first ten days, but they kept sending me back saying, "oh, but you haven't done this. Do this and all will be well." So I'd do that, and then, on day nine, I was told that since it had a scratch, it was unreturnable. Of course, that scratch came from the little protective case that APPLE made for it to live in. Two microscratches down the front that are the same width as the apple tag that is on the inside of the case. Real freakin' geniuses, those guys. As the husband furiously stated in the store, Jane Goodall would give us our money back. Ghandi would give us our money back. Of course, Ghandi most likely would not be caught dead with an ipod, though I imagine it'd be nice to spin to the tunes of balliwood.

I saw one of the most fantastically bad movies last night: Pinata: Surviour Island! With Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer in it, and Harry from Star Trek Voyager. Oh, wow. So bad. And as the overly long introduction was plodding along, I was thinking to myself, wow, those guys who did Critters, what ever happened to them? This looks like something they'd do. And sure enough, Chiodo brothers appeared in the credits. What a terrible movie.

In the not quite bad, but not really good category is Ginger Snaps, a teen werewolf kind of thing we caught on IFC the other night. It seemed pretty funny at first, but it got seriously slow and heavy near the end, it just changed gears completely and not in a good way. Oh well. The TIVO just caught Ginger Snaps II: Unleashed. It's set in an asylum, so there's at least that going for it. Asylums are classic. Haven't yet caught Gothika, I was hoping it'd be on a non-premium channel by now. Ah well.

The TIVO is filling up with bad horror films, it's very exciting. I'm going to gain 10 pounds in popcorn this next week, I swear. The little boy want to watch a scary movie, but I just can't think of anything suitable for him other than Nightmare Before Christmas or Mad Monster Party, and we've watched them. Where is the Great Pumpkin this year? I can't find it listed anyplace.
Alrighty, it's nice and rainy, so it's off to the library.
