everybody here, comes from somewhere

So you guys know how I wanna quit the gym, right? Well, technically I have quit, but my membership goes through the end of this month so I decided to stop throwing money down the toilet and actually, I don't know, GO TO THE GYM. And on the way there, I had the radio on and OH MY GOD, YOU GUYS, the radio started playing the Ghostbusters song and I was so excited. Probably more excited than is normal. But whatever.

So, I'm singing along because . . . well, I'm pretty sure that if you were born in the 70s or 80s, that song is ingrained into your DNA and therefore you can't help but sing because if you try not to sing your DNA will explode. SCIENCED! But I think this might have been the first time I actually listened to the lyrics and did you know that at the end of the song, he says, "Lemme tell ya something, Bustin' makes me feel good!" Does that not strike anyone else as slightly inappropriate? Who let that one slip through, huh?

Once I recovered from the Bustin'Gate, I went into the gym and got on an elliptical in the Cardio Cinema and was immediately PISSED OFF. One, because it was sofa king hot in there that I almost died for real no joke. Two, the movie they were playing had the subtitles on, but the movie was in English, so basically that meant that the jackoffs who work there were too lazy to turn them off. And three, I couldn't figure out what the movie was. I know this doesn't seem like a big deal, but I pride myself on being able to guess a movie within a couple of minutes. Even if I've never seen it before. Sometimes I can guess the movie before the credits start rolling. I KNOW. That is how good I am. But this movie had Alec Baldwin and Sarah Michelle Gellar in it and I quickly ran all the Sarah Michelle Gellar movies I knew through my head and none of them had Alec Baldwin in them. IMDB, to the rescue! Holy shit, apparently it was some movie called Suburban Girl and now I am ashamed because one of the movie's writers is Melissa Bank. Oh GOD.

In other news, if I could, I would listen to REM's new song (supernatural superserious supercalifragilisticespialadocious) over and over so I'm betting Heidi is really glad I don't have the means to listen to it over and over, unless I resort to taping it off the radio when they play it. Did you guys ever do that? I did. All the time. Wow, good story.

  1. I remember taping "U Can't Touch This" off the radio back when I was in middle school. Yeah - lots of pride in that statement.

    Also - Do you remember the them to Ghostbusters II by Bobby Brown? I had that cassette single.

    And now I'm embarrassed.

  9. JENNIE! We totally rented that movie the other day because when my roommate and I read Girls' Guide we immediately read everything on the internet about it. And the internet said there was a movie being made with SMG and Alec Baldwin and we were like "ooo! exciting!" and then we never heard anything more. Until we saw the movie one day at Blockbuster. The first half was meh but it picked up. Apparently, it went straight to DVD. The end.

  10. "Too hot to handle, too cold to hold, we called the Ghostbusters and they're in control..." And why do I know even THAT much of the Bobby Brown Ghostbusters song? Jesus.

  11. Abigail, I guess I can't really judge whether it was a good movie or not, but it was NOT a good workout movie.

    Fraulein, I'm impressed. I don't remember that song.

  12. The release of the new album better not be an April Fool's Day prank-rumor. Wackopedia wouldn't do that, would they?

  13. I sure hope not, or I'll have to hurt someone.

  15. I don't understand how people can work out to quiet movies. I need something loud to distract me.
