potato chips/ harry potter
Potato? Potatoe? Pop quiz: who was the politician who misspelled "potato"?If you have absolutely zero interest on this delightful spud product, please close the window now. Last warning. As of right now, my favorite flavors are as follows:
1. Lays lightly salted: for the afficionados who love the taste of the potato and not be overwhelmed by sodium overdose. Karl and I found this obscure flavor one day, and then without warning, it disappeared off the shelves for months. Months! So at first, we thought we'd only imagined it. After all, it took a while for him to believe that square granola cereal with holes in the middle existed. We even went to health food stores looking for them (result: weird looks from the way too peppy store clerk). Another thing about these chips is that they're not greasy, which is always a plus. You can eat a lot of them without feeling sick...not sure if that's good or bad.
2. Munchos: very reminiscent of middle school. Back then, a lunch consisted of a bag of munchos and a green slurpee (this was before they pulled the plug on what was one of the only bright ideas the school had). In high school, lunch was a cup of french fries and a lemon snapple. For those of you who like Munchos, you know how hard it is to overeat these, reason being--they're simply too salty. Light, yes. Delicate, definitely. But it's like biting your front teeth into an animal salt lick. Use sparingly.
3. Sour cream and cheddar: without a doubt, an acquired taste. I started liking these after a session of brief starvation and scrambling around to find edibles that weren't either stale or moldy. A bag later, I was hooked. I learned something about this in psych class, like how our bodies naturally reject something that made us sick the last time we ate it. I guess it also applies to things we like--even if we hated a food before, if at least one session we like it, we like it for real afterwards. May not be the first thing we reach for, but no gag reflex either. (oo! gag reflex, next entry..ha! sike!)

What time is the right time to go watch the new "Harry Potter"?
First of all, definitely not the midnight showing. I cannot stand cosplay or people who think that just because they have a bunch of "homies" with them, that it gives them the right to blab on and on throughout the movie. My neck starts to tense up, and I imagine a million ways to exterminate them (not exactly in this order): a shoe up the ass, a straw through the brain, strapped down forced to listen to "Crazy Frog" on end without stopping...
Second, not during the day. Old people are the worst. It's easy to tell high school kids to shut the fuck up, but I just never picture myself saying that to an old woman fiddling around with her hearing aid.
Me: Ma'am, can you please stop talking?
Her: ....eh?
Me: MA'AM, CAN YOU PLEASE STOP TALKING?
Her (& co.): SHHH!! stop talking so loudly, I'm trying to pay attention to the movie!
It's just not right.
Third, not during Thanksgiving weekend. It's the only time anyone has to see a movie nowadays. Unfortunately, it's also the only time I have to go watch a movie. Whoever would've thought planning a movie trip would be so stressful? Maybe I'll just wait till the buzz is over.
