the happening

I know, I know. My new goal in life is about saving enough money to buy myself a Miu Miu handbag (I’m glad you guys support me–Lynn, Carmen and all the other girly girls out there) but since that’s going to take about a decade, what about a side goal?

After reading about the mysterious disappearance of bees which was illustrated in M. Night Shyamalama’s trailer for The Happening and then freaking out about it because I LOVE HONEY, I was excited to hear about FREE BEES!

Save the bees! Host your very own bee hive and help the population thrive, thus preventing the environment from collapsing!

I had about 5 minutes worth of daydreams where I was a billionaire bee-keeper, sending free honey to poor, sweet-toothed children in third world countries, until I realized that this was all based on a Craigslist posting.

Oh. Well. Gross.

Speaking of The Happening, I finally read Christopher Orr’s review for the following reasons:

1. I hadn’t seen The Happening yet.
2. I still have faith in M. Night Shyamalama, seeing as how I haven’t seen anything of his since The Village. And I kind of liked Unbreakable.
3. I like movie spoilers but I really didn’t want to learn about this one, because I actually wanted to see this movie in the theater.
4. These are all really bad reasons, but I’m basically trying to tell you that I DID NOT WANT TO KNOW THE TWIST because I hadn’t seen the film yet and I still wanted to.

Right, so last night, I thought FUCK IT and I just read it.

And I’m glad I did.

So retarded.

WOT.
