fourth of july is lame

the story in failure to launch is extremely formulaic, but the movie is fun to watch and entertaining, nonetheless. the whole time i was thinking that dating is just such an embarrassing ritual. zooey deschanel is cute in this movie, though. she was just too much of a good thing in winters passing, tho. the whole to-kill-a-mockingbird thing was a cool touch, also.

there is a mouse in our kitchen and it chewed through the cord on our coffee pot and now it has chewed through the cord for my laptop.

HOLY CRAP! some IDIOT just shot off a gun or exploded a bomb or some kind of firecracker and woke up the baby after she had FINALLY gone to sleep! that pisses me off.
