Stranges moods breed strange writings…a freewrite about :

Here it is, sir, said the clerk. Your change is $3.47.

Marv accepted the money and shoved it into the pocket of his flannel shirt. He nodded at the clerk; then he picked up his soda and his bag of Doritos. He turned to leave only to find his path, with Eldyn and Kheldoaniv standing before him, now blocked.

Eldyn pulled a baton from inside of his coat and raised his arm in a threat. Just where do ya think youre goin, putz?

Yeah, you owe us some PEZ, jerk! Kheldoaniv yelled, An its not like I see ya buyin any! She kicked Marv with the steel-tipped toe of her boot.

Marv fell to the ground gasping in pain. He turned his head towards the clerk; his eyes pleaded for help. He watched the clerk turn and press a glowing, red button on the wall. A giant dropped out of the ceiling, landed on the floor, and ate Eldyn and Kheldoaniv with a resounding, Gulp! Then the PEZ dispenser lifted up into the air and disappeared through the ceiling.

The clerk leaned over the counter and said, Quit lying on the floor, kid. They are both gone now. Then he leaned back against his counter and sighed, Kids, theyre just never gonna learn.

 

The Devil Wears PradaA friend and I saw this movie the other night and loved it!

Meryl Streep stole the show by giving that third dimension to what was a two dimensional character in the book. She delivered lines in a soft voice that made me cringe and gave her more of an evil diva persona. Brilliant! Yep, that sums that up. Between her and Stanley Tucci, this movie was chock full of fun.

I enjoyed knocking the ridiculousness of the fashion industry with their size 6 being the new 14 and chronic overdressed (or underdressed as may be the case) wardrobes. Although it also made me crave fancier clothes and shoes myself. Ooh and bags too. Did I mention the shoes? Heh. Whatever.

And just ignore the idiocy of the main character and her dumb errors of judgment with men. That disturbing blip was the only part I found disappointing.

If you are looking for a funny chick flick to have a good time with, go see The Devil Wears Prada.

Be sure to check out the official site for the movie too. It’s got a great quiz that’s actually fun to fail. :)

Enjoy!
