Marcus and I watched a movie last night that his friend lent him called "Bedazzled" that came out a couple of years ago starring Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley. Elizabeth Hurley plays the devil. It was pretty good. Brendan Fraser is so dreamy and has the most gorgeous eyes. There was a sequence where he looked like Fabio. *sigh* I know Marcus was enjoying the outfits that Elizabeth Hurley was sporting.

I think I figured out today why the one store is losing so much business. Their product tastes like crap! I really used to like the pizza we sold. It's one of the reasons I went to work for them as opposed to Dominos or something. Well, I haven't had pizza much recently. I'm either not in the mood, just wanting to get out of there, or something. Well, I made myself a pizza for lunch today and it sucked! They've changed vendors for the sauce and it didn't taste good, the cheese was tasteless and the management overproofs the dough and the crust tasted flat. Top it off with the fact that the pizza burned on the edges. YUCK! I was disappointed totally with it and I didn't have to pay for it. No wonder the sales are slipping. I certainly would never order again if I had had a pizza like that delivered.

Well, did you try it?

1. What cologne or perfume do you wear?
I don't wear purfume much anymore. I think the only bottle I still own is a vial of Jovan Musk that I had in college from the late eighties (does purfume go bad?).

2. What cologne or perfume do you like best on the opposite sex?
Mmmm, Polo. The smell makes me swoon. It's been my favorite male scent since I smelled in on the head drummer in high school. Drakkar Nior is a really close second, though.

3. What one smell can you not stomach?
Rum. I hurled it in college while losing a game of quarters.

4. What smell do you like that others might consider weird?
Burning pine (see this blog entry).

5. How do you plan to spend your weekend?
Working, as usual. I'm also going to tackle cleaning my craft room since Marcus' parents are coming for a visit and Marcus wants the house ship shape.

Now I'm really confused. Why can Marcus connect to ICQ today and I can't. Last night, around 9 p.m., we both connected. Neither one of us changed settings. It doesn't make sense.
