went out to play

Instead of the pile of housework I'd lined up in my head to do today and tonight, I went out to play. I went out w/my own sweeper-off-of-feet to Cinderella Story, of all things. And you know what? It wasn't that bad. There were some cringes here and there, but in general I was amused and not pissed off, all things considered---not unlike with Anchorman (though Anchorman was more fun) (even the silly flute solo---cracked me right up) (or cracked up my internal adolescent boy).

Besides of course the well-ingrained archetypical Cinderella story, I am also contemplating the metaphorical similarity of my night of transformation, chores-to-movie&popcorn&pop&talk&beer&talk, to the once-famous Calgon commercial. Anybody know/remember what I'm talking about? 10 points to the first to call it up; 25 points if s/he's under 30.

Calgon take me away...

Ancient Chinese Secret Calgon.

As they both had the same name...

I don't know if you get the 10 or the 25 points, but congrat.s!

Boy, I'd forgotten about that Ancient Chinese Secret in its white-person-imitates-Chinese-raundly-rady delivery. Yeah, I was going for being transported in my bubble bath to fantasy no-kids land (isn't that where the woman's headed?).

Only 10 points for me, at the ripe old age of 33.

Is that from that movie about the killer sisters? I liked that movie.

Rats! I'm stuck at work today, crazy busy. Keep me in mind, and keep asking, though. Sometimes I can get away easier than others.

I remember those commercials~! How many points do you get for being exactly 30?

[identity profile] fflo.livejournal.com 2004-07-22 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I reckon you should get at least 20. We'll say 22, but that's just cuzza yer good looks.

Who's your "sweeper-off-of-feet"? I want to see "Anchorman," too-- thanks for the tip!

It was E.---or [livejournal.com profile] homovegetarian. She's my most frequent movie-going buddy up here. Wish you'd gotten to meet her; maybe another visit.
