Ha. I was so caught up in craziness when posting last night that I forgot entirely about the madly happy exciting thing that happened yesterday.

Last year in March, shortly after Willard came out, Entertainment Weekly did an article on Crispin Glover. When I learned of it, I determined that I must read it.

So you'd think that such an article would have been long since pirated onto a fansite, right? WRONG. You'd think that a library that subscribes to EW would have a back issue, right? WRONG. I couldn't find the damn thing anywhere. So I'd resigned myself to this, and a couple of weeks ago was idly skimming through my friends list when this paragraph from j_crew_guy caught my eye.

"catslash, I scored a bunch of Entertainment Weekly issues at a library sale. One of them has a three - four page article on Crispin Glover. You want?"

I will spare you my hysterical fangirl enthusiasm. Suffice it to say that my reply roughly boiled down to, "Yes, please!"

So I got my magazine in the mail yesterday (in this awesome violent green bubblewrap envelope), and the article is lovely. It doesn't really say anything that any die-hard fan doesn't already know (Crispin sued over BttF2? You don't say. Crispin aimed a kick at David Letterman's head? Been there, quoted that), but since it wasn't written for die-hard fans, that's just fine. It's a very fair article that attempts to show and discuss Crispin's famous oddness without lampooning him for it. (Much.)

So thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Charles!! I saved several of the Bruce pictures you linked, and I have Plans. =D I shall put my meager iconing skills to work as a way of emphasizing my thanks.

And since no one else seems to have bothered to type it up and put it out there, maybe I will. =P

Oh, and speaking of odd, here's a little something for all you Democrats out there: johnxjohn. It's a tongue-in-cheek John Kerry/John Edwards OTP community. Yeah, I don't know. 'Sfunny, though.

Hey, Charles! Bruce Campbell icons! =D

Because j_crew_guy asked nicely, and because he rocks:

( A couple of just silly ones. )

( A couple on the requested theme, plus a repeat because I am anal and wish to have them all in one post. )

So my sister, Chelsea, and I were going to go to the drive-in tonight, 'cos she hasn't seen Spider-Man 2 or White Chicks yet, and I wasn't to see S2 and was morbidly curious about what WC might be like when I'm one hundred percent sober. (I had those Smirnoff faux-vodka coolers to help me through the first viewing.)

Last night, she asks me (awkwardly, feeling bad about it, so don't get an impression of a thoughtless bitch here, 'cause she's so not) if I mind if we postpone so she can go with some friends tonight instead, since that particular outing is a one-time-only chance. I did mind, a little, but since she's a good kid I didn't make a big deal out of it.

And then her friends flake out and we don't have time to remake our plans. GRR. I don't have another night off till Sunday.

But in the interim, I got Chelsea to drive me out to the video store instead, so I could at least still watch movies. I rented Bad Santa with vague thoughts of trying to find another movie. Except it's a shitty little tiny store so they didn't have anything I wanted. (God, I miss Netflix.) I spotted Lost in Translation, but their only DVD copy was fullscreen. I've seen it before in fullscreen and it looks weird, so I passed. I searched in vain for anything good, and was mulling over finally trying to watch Office Space (last time I rented it, my VCR tried to eat it) when I came across the little bin full of used movies. I flipped through it.

And found a DVD copy of Lost in Translation.

Widescreen.

For TEN BUCKS.

GRAB.

Sure, this summer is about saving money and all that, I shan't go around pretending it's all right to buy bunches of movies, but when the hell am I going to find LiT for ten bucks again? Maybe in another three years. So I took the opportunity. And I don't regret it. Actually, I feel vaguely guilty, like I ripped the store off by buying it so cheap. Like I should go back and give them more money or something. *g*

So I did get something good after all even though I didn't get to go to the drive-in, and I couldn't have afforded to go after that anyway.

And we'll go later, and maybe by then Spider-Man 2 will be paired with something else. *hopes*
