hodka and mertyl go to the movies

twas saturday night this evening past and i found myself at home. and not in a stumbling in the door at 4am after a night of drunken debauchery kinda way. oh no. i was at home on saturday night in a couldn't be bothered leaving the house so hired a movie and got take out on my own kinda way.

are you shocked? is your image of me as a go get 'em hepcat completely ruined? i guess if it wasn't before it is now that i've used the phrase "go get 'em hepcat" huh?

so anyway, it wasn't enough that i stayed home and watched tv and read blogs and skulked in general. no, i had to go and take the loser-o-meter up a notch and spend a few hours chatting to miss lala in japan on msn messenger. the high point of this being the realisation that we were two young chicks in different countries at home on a saturday night talking on the computer about buffy the vampire slayer.

watch out for me in the social pages next week. my desk is sure to be listed as the newest sydney hotspot. in fact i think there's a queue forming outside my house right now. look, there's bec cartwright and lleyton hewitt. and over there, is that millsy in the hideous pink shirt? it so is.

so hotspot right now.

so anyway, during my conversation with lala, she informed me that she had that very night hired a terrible movie and wanted to warn me off making the same mistake. she's very considerate like that. the un have been courting her to be their international ambassaor of bad movies. she's considering their offer, knowing how important it is to make a difference in this world. if she can save just one poor soul the torment of watching 'the cable guy', then she's done her bit for humanity.

the crazy mixed up thing though is that last night i went to the video store and hired EXACTLY THE SAME DVD AS LALA DID. i too watched the terrible movie. i too am slightly embarrassed by hiring it in the first place considering the obvious lack of substance in the title alone. lala and i are so cosmic twins of destiny. apart from looking, acting and thinking completely differently, its like we are the same person.

what are the chances of two best mates living in two different countries hiring exactly the same random dvd on the same night? no really, i want a numerical value here.

you wanna know what the movie is don't you? well, you'll have to ask lala. she's the humanitarian. i don't care if you waste your time and money on it at all. i'm evil like that. deal with it.

i will give you one visual clue though. and purely for selfish reasons. no need to thank me. the movie in question featured this sexy hunk of man:



and he just knocked the coreys out of this week's guilt free three.
