valis2Ha! Just received spam from the sender "Balder Shultz".
Just went to see Fantastic Four, and I have to agree with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rook543's assessment of it...The Thing and the Human Torch were the standouts, but it was really just an average movie. I wasn't into it. I didn't have too much inappropriate laughter, so it isn't in the realm of Van Helsing, but still, there is no reason to see it again.
After the movie I went into the women's restroom. As I was washing my hands I looked at my reflection in the mirror, and, as I am wont to do because I am clearly deranged, I made a few faces in the mirror. Not weird, bizarre, or crazy faces, just...subtly odd faces. I turned and suddenly realized that a young girl was at the other end of the counter and was staring at me as she held her hands under the water. Like full-out-wow-what's-wrong-with-that-chick stare. Then she smiled awkwardly and stared back at her hands. She probably thought I was going to pull the towel machine off the wall and start braying at the moon while smearing jello on the soap dispenser.
Headache is starting to diminish, thankfully.
EBay is so strange. I have been trying to sell things on it now for a couple months, and I've run into some odd snafus, like this weird shipping thing, where it tells you that you can set it up to combine shipping, but then it laughs cruelly behind its hand while sending you a blank "Don't do that, Dave" message. Argh. But I have moved some stuff, and I'm just beginning to clear out some boxes. Only two kinds of things have really sold well; the rest is just selling for the $1 which is the original price.
Oh, and on the way home from the non-show I listened to someone talking about eBay. He apparently decided he wanted to move to New York, and eBayed everything he owned to finance it, one thing at a time. He said he was at the post office every day for nearly six months. He was extremely engaging and witty. He would even visit some people that he had sold objects to just to chat. It was quite a fascinating interview. I wonder if this is the same person thatmortifyd bought that cricket bat from a while ago.

Date: 2005-07-10 05:27 pm (UTC)This time I was sticking out my chin. Occasionally I have this troubling thought pattern that my facial features are too masculine, and when I caught sight of myself in the mirror (lit by fluorescent lights, none too flattering) I tried to see if I could get myself to look even more masculine, which must have been really odd to the poor girl. I hope I haven't scarred her for life.
