BEDA 3: A Sob Story

First of all, I know this is technically Day 2 and techincally BEDEFDA and not BEDA, but I'm going to go ahead and title my posts with BEDA as if I did do the first day so I'm not awkwardly behind everyone else. As if anyone else in BEDA is reading this and is hopelessly confused. Boy, that was an obnoxiously long intro. And it wasn't even an intro. God. Okay.

Today I am going to be discussing a tragedy that has befallen my family. It was a shocking discovery when I walked into the kitchen this morning. My dad and I were planning on finishing our Lord of the Rings viewing with Return of the King, but things did not go as planned.

I come into the kitchen and my dad informs me that we will not be watching Lord of the Rings today. He looks at me and he says...

"The wrong dvd is in here. This... is the Two Towers."

It took everything in me to not break down in the middle of my kitchen and just curl up in a ball and sob. You see, we bought these dvds at Bookman's, a used bookstore, cd store, etc. here in Tucson. The delightful young fellow at the cash register put in the wrong dvd when we checked out. Absolutely devastating! So instead, my father and I watched The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It was... okay. If not for the plethora of literary references (I knew M was going to be Moriarty, by the way.)(Oh, Spoiler Alert, I guess. But. Come on.) I don't think I would have enjoyed it at all. Well, I guess I could have enjoyed Sean Connery.

On another note, I finished all five seasons of Daria, and now I'm on to the tv movies. Right now I'm finishing up Is it Fall Yet? I wish I had watched this before I watched the fifth season, because that's where it fits in. It explains where Tom got his car. And really establishes Daria and Tom's relationship.

Wow I really don't have much going on, do I...?

Is it fall yet?

Days until I go back to Seattle: 20
Days until school starts: 26

BEDA?

I decided today that I would love to do Blog Every Day in August. Unfortunately, today is August 2. I decided, what the hell, I'll do it anyway. It will be Blog Every Day Except the First Day in August... BEDEFDA. That just trips off the tongue.
So, here it goes. BEDEFDA. That's going to get annoying to type. Whatever.
Well, blogging. My life. Right now I'm watching Daria. I bought the whole series on DVD last week and I'm in season five now. I'm almost done and I don't know what I'm going to do when I'm finished! Oh, what tragedy! (Sidenote: I'm not watching the screen as I type because I'm glued to my television set. Oh  my Daria is going to be teaching Quinn's class!) It is pretty spooky how similar Daria and I are, despite the fact that she is a fictional character and I am, for as far as I know, real. Her views on the world and the people who inhabit it are almost completely in line with my own. Of course, she expresses herself differently, that is to say, not at all, while I am quite often over-enthusiastic about a lot of things. She also has a boyfriend. So. There's that major difference. Le sigh.
This first day of BEDEFDA has been riveting, I know. Until tomorrow, dear readers! Er- reader. That is if my one reader is even reading this, which she probably isn't. So, until tomorrow, self!
