for some unusual reason, im really feeling like seeing a movie. i dont usually feel like going to movie theaters, its not really my thing. but im really in the mood to just get lost in someone elses story.
so, i was online checking out what movies are playing in my area and reading the little synopsis for each movie.
im highly amused that as i read the movie info, i have this peculiar voice in my head - the deep movie-preview voice-over. words are enunciated and emphasized in that cheesy way we've come to expect.
i hope the voice doesn't decide to stick around for long because its likely i'll be catching up on my reading soon.
outside of this skyscraper office building sat a bloodmobile. a 12 foot RV-looking thing with windows and a side door.
mhm, thats what it was and thats what it had neatly printed across the side in times new roman font. Bloodmobile.
now, i dont know about you, but im not about to step foot in any vehicle called "blood"-anything b/c i know that the second i cross that threshold, someone is going to jab me with a needle and suck my viens dry before i even have a chance to say "im just browsing".
and what kind of marketing is that - calling your blood donation vehicle the "bloodmobile". its nothing like a bookmobile whose main function is to drive to outlying towns and neighborhoods, loaning books to folks without access to a public library.
does the bloodmobile drive around the outlying towns and neighborhoods, loaning blood to folks who cant make it to the hospital? oh, fine... collecting blood from folks who cant make it to the red cross for the ongoing blood drive?
and who in their right mind gives blood at 8 o'clock in the morning in a painted up RV outside their office in the middle of the city. the only person in this scenario i can imagine wanting to have a needle stuck in their arm first thing in the morning is a heroin addict. and im not so sure the bloodmobile wants their blood.
i shuddered as i passed by, hoping that they wouldnt be stopping at my office next, envisioning the sign id be posting on my door - "there's no blood here."
