Writer's Block: The tenth time's the charm

[Error: unknown template qotd]
I've seen The Princess Bride far more times than I can count. I wouldn't say I've grown tired of it at this point -- I'll still sit down and watch if I happen to wander through a room where it's on -- but on the other hand, I can't see myself actually planning to watch it again any time in the next N years, unless I'm showing it to someone who hasn't seen it yet. After all, I don't need to -- I've practically got the whole thing memorized.

Then again, I don't seem to be into re-watching most movies these days -- or watching them in the first place, for that matter -- unless I'm watching them with someone. One of the reasons I have such a small DVD collection is that I mostly only purchase movies that I can imagine telling someone else they've got to see -- and except when I'm doing that, my collection pretty much gathers dust.

If we concentrate, I know we can find one....

This supermarket smoothie I'm drinking claims to be a blend of "4 not from concentrate and from concentrate juices."

There has got to be a better way they could have phrased that. Hasn't there?

But I'm not sure I know what that would be. I mean, you'd think "juices (not) from concentrate" would be preferable to "(not) from concentrate juices" -- but then there doesn't seem to be any way to combine the "from" part and the "not from" part that isn't just as weird as the original.

I dunno, man.
