03/08/2008 Entry: "I mourn the closing of a video store."
Another dreary day.
I went 'out' yesturday, dropping off my application at the 'dollar store' & all.
Found out 'Hollywood Video' is closing down! :( Just as I will mourn the closing of ANY video store, this was the only other local video store..Now there's just abunch of Killbusters..er..Blockbusters around. Plus I remember going to this store when I was a kid...well, probably a teenager actually. I remember, first started getting into horror flicks, I would walk back & forth looking through all their VHS horror tapes (which sadly have been gone for awhile..But that's ANOTHER mourning story all together), renting & watching all the many sequals for the first time.
Only a few years ago, while I was still in somewhat a 'carefree' time in my life - first year of working mostly part time hours at Blockbuster, I would occasionally still go over there. Renting different B or weird horror flicks that my damn store wouldn't carry. Then I would sometimes return them..late all night..Hmm..roads empty, warm summer night air..nice..
(goes in memory mode for awhile)
ANYWAYS..Most of their movies had been sold. I still managed to get 'Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit' & 'Blair Witch 2' for 5 bucks each. I'm hoping, in another week or two, they might discount their movies further...If that's the case, as always I would LOVE to stock up on some godawful horror DVDs, provided they're no more than a dollar or two.
There seems to be alot of closed/deserted stores around where I live (or within the areas I know how to drive to). Very depressing..Although everything seems to depress me these days.
Speaking of which, I will turn 25 next month. Dear god..5 years to 30. Bad, very bad..I'm gonna have to ignore this. I AM NOT AN ADULT, DAMNIT!!! Some people just aren't meant to be adults..Or simply CAN'T..or more honestly, are too damn lazy. Mentally, I'm still very much in my teenage years.
If you haven't seen Stardust, you really should. Believe me, any movie that features some bit of romance that managed to get through to my 3-sized-too-small-heart is GOOD. And there's a nice blend of humor, fantasy, action..It's just an all around GREAT picture.
That's about as postive as this entry is gonna get.
See ya.
