Starbucks, Talking Fast Food Characters, Cable, and a Meme

[ziasudra]

My Starbucks SIP stocks are deposited, which means I'm now a SBUX stock owner! Horrible timing though, the stock price has gone down and down since two days ago :\

The Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie is coming out tomorrow. IMDB gives it a 7.9 out of 10 rating, but frankly, I was planning to watch it even if it gets a horrible rating. Anyone want to come with?

Yesterday I brought our cable box, remote control, and wireless device thingie to Time Warner and officially cancelled our apartment's cable subscription. We've switched to Verizon for both phone and DSL (sorry for whose of you trying to call the past week, our phone refused to work 90% of the time). This means... absolutely no change in how I spend my free time, now that March Madness is over.

Finally, a very funny meme that's been passing around. I first saw it posted by skuf:

If this makes you laugh, repost it in your journal and pass it around!

1. Go to Google Maps

2. Click on "Get Directions"

3. From New York, New York

4. To London, England

5. Read line #23

(It works with any cross-Atlantic direction inquiries, I believe)

HAHA! Thx Google, but I think I'll just fly. (And boy won't my arms be tired! *groan*)

Anyway, super lame jokes aside....yay ATHF! I'm free tomorrow night after 9 pm. Or anytime Sunday.

Sunday would probably be better. Maybe something early? I have to open on Monday :\

Heh. Awesome. [#23]

Sucks that you got your stocks at a low point, though, from a tax standpoint. ;S
But hey, at least you got 'em!

I've been logging into fidelity like crazy and hitting refresh every few seconds to see whether any decimal points have changed, lol. I'm probably just going to let the shares sit until the next surge upward. It usually happens around holiday time. *is impatient*

Hahhaa hilarious!

Ooh I'm tempted by the Aqua Teen Hunger Force... I've never seen one episode but is it that strange show with a talking cup???

[ziasudra.livejournal.com]

Yup, and the talking meatball and fries. It's definitely an Adult Swim show (content and language), but there's something intrinsically funny about seeing fast food items personified and going about life as if they're just another human being ;)

I tried a Los Angeles to Hong Kong route, but it didn't work :(

Ooh, I would totally see ATHF: The Movie with you if I were still in NY. Tell me how it is!

[ziasudra.livejournal.com]

Maybe they opted to cross the Pacific Ocean with that route? For some reason, only crossing the Atlantic works, and trips from the U.S. to Australia doesn't give that particular line #23 either. *shrugs*

I'm hoping to watch the movie sometime this weekend, although work is very inconveniently in the way :p
