My God, It's Full of Beans!

Well, my beanbag chair arrived on Monday and it is the bomb! The bomb, explosive, even. It appears to be a large pillow stuffed with sand. But it is so much more! I am only scratching the surface of its many possibilities but have still managed to discover this truth: Beanbag chairs are awesome, and my own beanbag chair is more awesome yet. Not much is going on aside from this enlightenment. I have taken to adding Kool-Aid mix to Ginger Ale. So, there's that. Also, I saw Idiocracy on Saturday, and it is so extremely funny that it gets my highest rating. 18 spinning kazoos rampant on a field of cranberry crossed with a blazing statue of Rah Digga with the Dunkin' Donuts logo stamped over the whole thing. And, for good measure, some Ocelots.

Anyway, if you haven't seen the movie, you really need to. I enjoyed it even more than Office Space, I think because it had a more coherent, solid story, whereas Office Space, as funny as it was, was pretty much just a bunch of jokes about how much working in an office sucks strung together. I can't even begin to describe how well done the movie is, it has a clear vision of the future in all it's dumbed-down inevitability, which is frankly terrifying. And hilarious. But, of course, the movie is really commenting on the present and the uninspiring direction in which we're headed. It is really an achievement when a movie can be so funny and can succeed so greatly as entertainment, and still have such a deep, thoughtful message. It feels weird to write that about a movie with so many jokes about pimps and handjobs, but it's true.

Anyway, I guess that's about it for now. When my Texas Flag arrives, my room will be complete. And I'm still scheming up ways to get an iPhone, so you'd all better have some tricks up your sleeves. Stay on your toes! I'm coming to get an iPhone one of these days, and it's up to all of you to hold the line.
