Headed to work right after the cartoon ended. I had an easier time getting a ride there than home. Got a car in 4 minutes this morning. After work, I went through two drivers, and it took the second 11 minutes to arrive. Must have hit rush hour traffic. At least, there was no traffic going to or from the store.
I ended up spending most of the day pushing carts. The head bagger had a family emergency and called out. At least the weather remains beautiful, sunny, bright blue, and chilly, and we weren't insanely busy like yesterday. I didn't get to the floral department until the afternoon bagger came in at 2:30. Helped the manager pull out bouquets of flowers so we could actually have flowers in the floral department. Every single flower in the entire store was sold yesterday. All they had left when I came in this morning was a table of plants. There's no arrangements left in the cooler; it's just vases and containers of rose petals.
Soon as I got home, I changed, then put on A Hard Day's Night while taking down the Valentine's Day decorations. I go further into the Beatles' influential debut film at my Musical Dreams Movie Reviews blog.
Did some job research, then worked on writing after the movie ended. Patti explains that the Warlock of the West isn't the only evil magic-user in Oz. There's also Mombi, a grouchy witch who tried to take over Televisia City with her all-female army. Indeed, Queen Bretta and her court vanished after Mombi's invasion. Patti's worried that she may try again.
Broke for dinner and Match Game '79 at 7 PM. For some reason, they skipped the rest of that week and went into the next featuring Orson Bean, Bill Cullen, and Brianne Leary. Not sure why these originally went unaired on CBS. I like Whew! too, but these were just as much fun. Bill Daily was extremely weird in these episodes. He nearly strips off his clothes before answering "__ File" in the Head-to-Head in the first episode. His answer to a question in the second is so bad and off-the-wall, the ladies end up attacking him.
Finished the night at Shout! TV with Mystery Science Theater 3000. I went with one of the more recent episodes, The Million Eyes of Sumuru. I honestly found the story of an army of women who want to replace world leaders with their own people to be oddly entertaining. Handsome George Nader makes a somewhat more realistic Bond-type spy than the totally at-sea Frankie Avalon, and I actually agree with the robots' female boss that Sumuru wasn't that bad of a villain. Goofy spy caper doesn't take itself seriously for a second and is worth the watch with or without robot wisecracks for the camp value.
