Some kind of idea...

[wednes]

When you are talking about an idea, is it a "capital" idea or "capitol"?
I really have no idea because I don't know the origin of the phrase.
But I bet one of you knows, and would love to tell me.

I tweaked my LJ layout into a similar but slightly cooler one. I put up Edvard Munch's Murderer again since I've been in the mood to look at it. It really is one of my all-time fave paintings.

Which is better, the new Wicker Man or the new Hitcher?
I'm inclined to think Hitcher will be better since I hate Nick Coppola and like Sean Bean.
I'm growing strangely tolerant of horror movie remakes and I'm not sure why.
I'd better watch out or spook_frolic will drop me from his flist.
I'm already not much of a horror drunk.

Off to work in a bit, where my work crush will be. He's swell.
I found out he's moving to another department so I will almost never see him. ;-[

Supposed to be meeting with the caterers this Sunday. I'll feel a lot better about the catering situation if I sit down with them and iron everything out. We haven't actually finalized the menu yet, so that'll be good to do. I just don't want to stress about anything else. I'm all broken out.

Also, it's cold outside. Jacket weather already!

The Wicker Man remake has been almost unanimously ridiculed by everyone who laid eyes on the wretched thing. That film goes beyond bad to the so bad it's funny level then further into the realm of "I can't believe they made this garbage." I've heard that the Hitcher remake is bad but I don't see how it can begin to compare with The Wicker Man.

You know, that's kind of what I figured.

I'm still gonna watch both of them.
I got them as a gift and like both the originals very much.

And if there's a chance that Nick Cage will be burned alive, well...so much the better for me.

It would be capital for an idea ~ Capitol is like the capitol of a state. That is what I was taught in high school...and for some unknown reason... I REMEMBERED IT! *go figure*

It is really becoming jacket weather around here, I had to wear my coat to work for the last couple of mornings because it was so chilly. Right now its just after 11am here and its only 65º outside. *shivers* brr. But I like it because it means no more 99º+ days with the inside of my bus getting up to around 130º. That was a smidge too toasty for me.

Good luck with the caterers ~ I hope everything gets ironed out to your staisfaction.

*HUGS*

I know, the weather! It's just lucky for me I look cute in a hoodie.

Thanks for the well wishes.
I'll let everyone know how it went.

"shake it, madam! capital knockers!"

Dude, I laughed so hard I spit water on my screen, and I was at work.

Stop that!

The Hitcher remake ain't bad, it isn't good either but worth a watch for Sean Bean.

The Wicker Man remake is bad, but hilariously so, mostly due to Nicolas Cage's horrendous acting.

Well, I can see where that'd be funny.

I'll probably post reveiws after I watch.

I'm almost positive that Capitol only refers to the state or country capitol but dammit, now I'm confused. :-) It could be a capital capitol idea, depending on the context.

Yeah, that's what I mean. I don't know the actual, literal meanning of the phrase or it's origin. So I couldn't tell which word was correct. But it appears that an above poster checked a book and decided it was capitAl.
