Jess left me a nasty comment...

...about not blogging recently, so, I'll just catch you up on one thing I've been doing a lot of...

In the last weeke and a half, I went on another movie spree!

Well, first off, when I was sick a week or so ago and took off from work, I watched the whole third season of Party of Five. I watched this show when it was in syndication, and I remember that Scott Wolf (Bailey) was the one that everyone thought was soooo cute. But as a 30 year old woman watching this show...Matthew Fox is by FAR one of the sexiest men ALIVE!

Into the Wild - All I can say is I really loved it. Something about it really got to me. Maybe it was the whole "getting away from 'society'" that sometimes I wish I coud do, but know I never could. I love pedicures way too much.

La Vie En Rose - Perfect kind of movie for me. Historical. Biographical. Intriguing.

Goya's Ghosts - Intersting. Again, historical. A period piece. And I love those even if they're not very good. The Spanish Inquistion is so enlightening in a weird way.

Cloverfield - When I first saw the previews I thought I REALLY wanted to see this movie. It's done by J.J. Abrams created of my favorite show LOST, and I couldn't wait. And then I heard things about it, and saw too many previews, and thought, "This is going to be dumb." And...there are a lot of dumb things about it. But it kept me interested and I can say that it was ok.

Run, Fat Boy, Run - Extremely predicatable "love story", but anything British is hilarious to me. I really, really like it. Amazing, too, that it was directed by David Schwimmer and Michael Ian Black wrote the screenplay because I thought it really was a typical "British comedy".

Lars and the Real Girl - Depressing. Intersting at first, and then it kind of dies towards the end, and you just want it to be over. A little too hard to relate to, but it made me chuckle...but as depressing as it was...didn't make me cry, which is what I tend to base my like or dislike of movies on.

Juno - I saw too many previews of this movie...and people loved it too much, so I went into it thinking I wouldn't like it very much. But, I have to say that it has made it into the list of my top 20 favorite movies. What a really great, surprisingly great movie.

P.S. I Love You - Jess told me I would cry. I'm not sure I really believed her. And, I definitely didn't believer after I watched the first fifteen minutes, twice, once Friday...and then passed out...and once last night...and then passed out. So, I watched the WHOLE thing today...and literally...did not stop crying all the way through after those first fifteen minutes. Holy Hell! That was a depressing movie.

August Rush - On my way to DC a month ago, they started playing this move, and I really didn't like it...although I a m a HUGE fan of Jonathan Rys-Meyers...at least a huge fan of his face. Then something happened and we couldn't watch it...and ended up watching The Bee Movie instead. Today...I couldn't stop watching it. I don't know if I was already in super cheesy, girly, depressing, movie mode after the movie above or what! But, I cried like a god damn baby!

Iron Man - The best, comic book based, film I have ever seen. How fucking HOT is Robert Downey Jr.?

Feast of Love - It was really good. But...a little too much sex and boobs.

Freedom Writers - I was shocked and awed by how much I liked this movie. I've decided that no matter what the movie is...when Hillary Swank cries, I cry.

A Good Year - This is the kind of movie I like the most. I absolutely adored it.

Oh, and I watched the first two episodes of Queer as Folk. Good, dramatic...hot as hell.

So, there you have it. That's what I've been up to. I guess I just haven't had a lot to say. I've been working too much, going out and drinking too much, not sleeping enough...working out...eating right, except the drinking...having semi "adult" conversations with my pre-teen daughter, and that's about it. Nothing exciting. Mostly escapism.

Am I Going To Die? I just got stung for the first time ever by a wasp . . . So far so good . . . I can still breathe, I haven't swelled up like a balloon, yet . . . But it hurts and itches like crazy!!! It's almost the end of the semester and I am completely swamped! Two projects, two papers, and three finals, all in the next 3 weeks . . . Somehow I'll handle it. I've actually all of sudden "woken up" where school is concerned. I've been in such a daze for like the last 7 or 8 months. The AOC has changed my life as I knew it . . . in good and bad ways!!! Bad because he takes up too much of my thoughts . . . and I need all the brain capacity that I can get!!! Somehow, after years of barely even talking to anyone at work, and only a couple of years of actually being a little more friendly with my co-workers, I seem to have been sucked up in "office politics" and I HATE it! I used to really like going to work . . . now I just want to quit!! It still...

DIY Faux Brick Wall with German Schmear

Written February 14, 2021, when I tried to start a  WordPress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. My estranged (?), separated (?), I don't know what, husband, and I actually worked on this together.  I watched 1,000 YouTube videos and read another 1,000 posts on how to do this.  In the end, I took a little from here and a little from there. The faux brick paneling was bought from Home Depot.   We cut the seams with a Ryobi jigsaw , used liquid nails and a Ryobi nail gun to attach the panels, and used joint compound mixed with a bit of water for the schmear.  It's a perfectly, imperfect technique.  I practiced a little, but decided to just jump in and let the wall take on a life of it's own.  I will warn that the joint compound dries much whiter than you think it will.  Use sparingly if you want to see more brick. Once the wall was finished, I painted the other walls Sherwin Williams Perfect Greige .  Shelves and floor...
"He's Just Not THAT Into You" Sheesz...did someone really need to write this book? Why couldn't women just be left alone in their lonesome deceiving torture upon themselves. No, really...seriously...we like not knowing the truth and playing games with our own minds. What will we have to talk about with our friends if we can't say, "What do you think he meant by this?" If everytime you have to question a man's motives or make excuses for him, and the answer to everything is simply, "He's just not all that into you"...there will be no glimmer of hope...none whatsoever...a girl won't even be able to fool herself into thinking that she can ever possibly find someone. I know I know I know...the truth hurts, and the truth also sets you free...but you'll have to be very secure in yourself and not prone to beating yourself up in order for the truth to really set you free...otherwise the truth only makes it harder to move on. So, thi...
