Things that make me sad

1. One of my favorite podcasts, Make-It-Green Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for an Earth Friendly Life, has ended.  Boo.  Have I mentioned that I'm a podcast junkie?  I am.  In particular, I love many of the offerings that the Quick and Dirty Tips folks offer up and I thought Make-It-Green Girl was a great addition.  Damn.  At least This American Life is still going.  If they end... there'll be tears.  Many tears.  I think I could safely say it'd be a loss to the nation.

2. The GameStop at the mall I went to on my lunch hour has WiiFits in stock!!!  AUGH!!!  I have no money, though.  Well, I mean, I have some but I really need to set it aside for the bills due later this month.  I texted my husband to let him know it's in stock.

Me: The GameStop at the mall has WiiFits in stock!  They just got them today!  Gah!

Answer I was hoping for: You better buy one!  Great find, honey!!

Answer I got: I'm sorry.

:(  No Wii Fit for me today.  I told my husband yesterday I didn't want to spend $5 on movie popcorn b/c the bills are so high this month and now I want to spend $90 on a video game?  Yeah.

3. The hubby, two friends, and I went to see The Spirit last night.  It wasn't great.  In fact, the first hour was torturously bad.  The second hour (well, a little less b/c it's not two hours long) was better.  The writing is my chief complaint.  I understand they were trying to achieve graphic novel dialogue but it didn't translate well to film.  The acting was terrible in parts, too.  Scarlet Johannson was a treat, though - probably the best part of the movie.  The experience makes me sad because I could have lived without seeing the film and done something else, but it really isn't too sad since we saw the movie for free (had a discount card) and it was less than two hours long.  I guess this one should be tagged "things that would make me sad if I paid for them."
