Today is July 11th (in the US date system, 7/11).
If you don't know, 711 is kind of a franchised convenience store (used mostly by me to purchase lottery tickets). Apparently, 711 operates in a bunch of countries (mostly North America and Asia, with a few in the Nordic regions). Apparently, there are more franchised 711s in Japan than anywhere outside the US.
Useless information: the Slurpee capital of the world is Manitoba (according to the 711 Canada site) - it is probably a weighted per capita type thing, though 8,300 Slurpee sales a month per store isn't bad.
To commemorate the day, 711 tends to give away small Slurpees for free. Slurpees are a semi frozen drink with some type of flavoring - kind of like a snow cone but different. If you want to know more for some reason, there is a Slurpee.com
This year, I got a Watermelon Sour Patch kids Slurpee.

Losery Post of Loserdom II: Lose Harder (April and May?+)
Another random time period has passed randomly. There is too much randomness in the universe. What isn't random? The concept that i watched so movies/tv shows (basically visual media on some sort of disc type thing). I didn't really watch that much in April and May, so, i'll add the stuff I watched during my "Summer Vacation" in mid May to late June.
Commentary: most of Rankin Bass stuff sucks. There are no decent Easter specials (since it is a purely manufactured holiday anyway). Interstellar was odd with the time/dimension thing, Nightcrawler was ok (another movie about a sociopath), Taken 3 was not that memorable, The Wedding Ringer was the funniest thing I saw during that period (not on Summer Vacation).
Movies From The Library (17):
Big Eyes, Cake, The Captive, Here Comes Peter Cottontail, Home Sweet Hell, Inherent Vice, Interstellar, Kill the Messenger, Nightcrawler, Stretch, Taken 3, Third Person, The Voices, The Wedding Ringer, Wild, Wildcard, Woman in Black: The Angel of Death,
Movies from My Collection:
Airplane 2!, Arrow: Season 1, Better Off Dead, Boys and Girls (I kind of want this on Blu-Ray), Friends Seasons 1-10, Kindergarten Cop (not the best transfer), Mannequin (want on Blu-Ray), One Crazy Summer, Opportunity Knocks (ditto), UHF, The Wedding Singer, Weekend at Bernie's, Van Wilder, Frosty the Snowman, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Olive the Other Reindeer, etc.
Movies in the Theater:
San Andreas

A couple of chicks (ok, "chicks" are baby chickens, these are of the egg laying variety). Now for some bad pictures (they just didn't want to turn out).
