Love, Actually, Nine Inch Nails With Teeth!
May 07, 2005 11:51 p.m.

there's a bit of a lead up....so just bear with me.

Now...apparently I'm in the mood to watch Love, Actually.

I was in Tar g'et (prounce oh-so-French-Like) early this morning looking for Mother's day gifts. I saw Love, Actually at a fairly reasonable price and thought about getting it. ....several hours later I decided I was in the mood to watch it and I would just have to go back and get it. ...so I did.

(along with a combo pack of The Dawn of the Dead and The Shaun of the Dead....impulse buy I know...but both for 20 Bucks? can't pass that up!)

So I get home and start doing the dvd unwrapping ritual and discover my Love, Actually is Full Screen. I Hate full screen. So I got back in my car and race back to Tar g'et to get there before they closed. ....and because I and picked up the last copy and there weren't any widescreens...I just took the refund.

BUT by this time I really wanted the movie! I mean seriously wanted it. ...I drove over to Blockbuster to look though their previous vieweds. They were busy as hell...and all the previeweds were dishieved and out of order...but I did my best to look...I even sat on the floor and crab walked though the rows reading the backstock hidden underneath.

So...frustrated I gave up...I was on the phone to Carrie at the time so I was taking a bit of time leaving the store....and as I passed the magazine rack there I saw what I had been searching for in all magazine shelves for the past month....

Finally someone had a cover interview with TRENT!

I let out a squeak and a gasp and grabbed it.

Carrie was worried for a moment, she thought something was wrong.

so we finalized plans and said goodbye as I made my way to the check out.

As I was standing there this tall, skinny, beauiful...and rather 2% milk looking girl looks over at me and looks away, and then back...and then she makes a comment...

"Nine Inch Nails?"

And I said, "yeah"

Her, "Are you a fan?"

Me, "Yeah."

Her, "OH! Me too!! That's a Great article! Really honest! Have you got With Teeth (the new album) yet?"

Me....Ah Yeah!! Love it!

Her, Me too, can't stop playing it!

...we proceeded to babble on like fans for a while....the guy behind the counter looked 19 and entertained by the whole thing, and since it was only she and I..it was fine.

But...as I went up the pay a line started forming behind me.

he also had a grin and said, "Nine Inch Nails, Huh?"

and I of course said, "Yeah".

He seemed to be a fan too. I'm thinking he got the albums handed down or recommended to him by friend or family. Word of Mouth Bitch!

Seriously all of us fans are so giddy because of this album....waiting 5 years for it and all (granted I think it's been six since the release of The Fragile, but we won't count the year it was released as waiting...)

so while he was ringing up the magazine I asked him if I could ask him a dumb question....he said that there are no dumb questions.

So I asked them if what I see is what they got...

and he said, "Maybe, maybe not, what are you looking for?"

Me, "Love, Actually".

Him, "Love, Actually, huh.....Awwwwwww.......let me see"

I also told him the whole mishape with the full screen.

so he typed away on the keyboard...meanwhile a line was forming....

And then he raced off to who knows where....Seriously running though the store, around shelves and people.

Meanwhile I was standing up there feeing a bit embaressed because I think everyone was hating me for their having to wait longer....

But a bit later he scampers back over with a copy of wide screen Love, Actually in his hand!

Yea!!!!

I'm such a happy girl right now.

Gonna watch a cutesy movie and clean the room,...
