EMERGENCY: We are out of milk and bread!

Snow storms suck. Saying you love snow, is like saying you love cancer. Here in Philadelphia, we get snow pretty much every single winter. You'd think people would be used to it by now. But they still freak out, drive to the nearest food store, and buy milk and bread. Which is ridiculous for the following reasons:

1. Why are you buying massive amounts of food as if you're going to be stranded for weeks in your house? Even when there's a foot of snow or more, you get "snowed in" for maybe a day. One day. And probably not even a full day. By noon, the roads are clear and you can go about normal activities. So quit running to the supermarket every time they're calling for snow. You're probably the same stupid people who went out and bought boxes of plastic and duct tape for your windows after 9/11.

2. Say we are going to be stranded for weeks. Why milk and bread? I mean, I like milk and I use bread for such things as sandwhiches but I wouldnt go buy it in bulk like its the only way to survive. If we were going to be snowed in for weeks, like literally cant leave snowed in, fuck bread and milk. I'd buy better things, like steaks and beer.

I'm currently snowed in until they plow my street. I have no milk, and only a few slices of bread. I'm not dying. Just sayin'.

'Chance'

Chance is a screwball romantic comedy about one nutty girl's search for Mr. Right (in all the wrong places). Using a non-linear framework, Chance explores the inner-workings of a young woman's mind through a pastiche of flashbacks, direct to camera monologues and complete surreality.
In 2002, Amber Benson (Tara from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) starred, wrote, directed and produced this  movie. James Marsters also starred in the film. I rented it last night, and I enjoyed it. Its a independant, low-budget film and it shows, not that that's a bad thing. The acting is quirky and kind of bad, I imagine on purpose, which makes the film entertaining. It made me feel like I was watching a movie my friends and I had made. I laughed quite a lot, espeicially at James Marsters. His character, Simon, by far is the best one in my opinion. Perhaps I'm a little biased though because I want to have his babies. If you're a big Buffy, Amber or James Marsters fan I think you'll enjoy watching this. Or if you dig low-budget films, I suggest it as well.
