Briefly Venturing Out Into The World

This morning, after a little over 4 hours’ worth of sleep, I woke up.
I decided that, based on the fact that I’d only gone to bed a little over 4 hours earlier, I would go back to sleep.
That got me a little over another hour’s worth, at which point I said the hell with it and got up.
After going through standard morning rituals it was late enough that I could consider heading out into the world to pick up “Sin City” at Best Buy, which is what I did.
I have to confess that I really don’t understand why there’s as much traffic as there is so close to ten in the morning. I mean, it’s kind of late to be going in to work, and early to be heading for lunch, so who are all of these people?
In any case, once I got to Best Buy I grabbed my copy of the DVD (I went with the Bruce Willis and Jessica Alba cover), and confirmed that the free comic would be presented to me at check-out.
Then I took a look at the mp3 CD player. One thing that really made it interesting to me was the fact that it has a USB port on it, designed to allow you to connect external flash drives, and presumably external mp3 players, and play any audio files the flash drive or external mp3 player has on it directly through the in-dash receiver.
I found that idea intriguing enough to start reconsidering my decision not to buy it.
However, once some fat nerdy guy in a blue shirt came by to ask if I needed assistance and let me know that they have no openings for installation until Saturday, my decision was made for me, and I walked out without buying it.
Once I got home I determined that, as I suspected it might be, the free comic was only the first issue of “A Dame to Kill For,” not the entire story. Ah well.
Then, of course, I watched the movie, and was just as pleased with it as I was when I saw it the first time.
And while I have to say that Jessica Alba is extremely hot, especially when she’s up on stage grinding her hips, and Jaime King, Rosario Dawson, and most of the other women in the movie are also extremely hot, it’s really Carla Gugino, walking around in nothing but her thong, that steals the show for me. Damn! I know she didn’t look that good as the mom in the “Spy Kids” movies (though I imagine she still looked pretty good - despite an overabundance of clothing).
Another suspicion I had about the DVD was confirmed by the overall lack of special features. All it includes is a “behind the scenes” feature, which is no doubt the same one that was made available on the Web prior to the movie’s theatrical release.
Given the dearth of special features, and the fact that a lot of scenes from the books were not included in the book, even though I know that every scene was filmed, the absence of “deleted scenes” leads me to believe that sometime around Christmas another version of the DVD will be released.
For most movies I wouldn’t bother buying the special edition DVD if I’d already bought a “regular” copy of it, but “Sin City” isn’t most movies, so I will no doubt buy the other version if and when it’s released.
Along with “Sin City” I picked up a copy of “Kill Bill: Vol. 2,” as it was on sale in honor of Tarantino’s “Guest Director” status on “Sin City.” As I have Vol. 1, it only made sense to finally get around to picking up the second part.
Not that I was all that impressed by the first part, but I figured I might as well complete the set.
After my surprisingly brief journey to Best Buy I went over to Wal Mart to kill a little time, as it had been my intention, since I was already out in the world, to see if Kathleen wanted to have lunch. However, she had a “working lunch” scheduled, so I opted to just hit the grocery store and head home.
While I was at the grocery store I found myself behind a vaguely Middle-Eastern-looking (she looked to be Middle-Eastern, but she was dressed in a decidedly Western fashion)woman, roughly my age or a little younger, wearing an extremely form-fitting skirt that served to positively accentuate the contours of the junk she had in her trunk.
Said junk was further accentuated by the great walk she had, which made her hips sway very nicely as she moved forward self-assuredly on her well-toned legs.
She was, of course, married, but I have to say that she provided the best view I’ve had at that particular store in quite some time.
Once I had my groceries I made my way home, and the rest you know.
So, while not necessarily in sequential order, that’s pretty much been my day so far.
I’m not really sure what I’m going to do with the rest of it, but I suppose I have a few options open, so…
