Good luck fella.

Drunk's insulting, no? Unless you meant drunk with poetry...

[predicts Dr. Who Fixed Lucy to hit on that with a "That was poetry?" kind of comment.]

But for now, let us reunite with the mass works of John Turkey the Lerthargic Mess Hall; or in short, a walking canteen. For one has seen the beauty of this kind of Mess Hall before, one without all that cheating and repulsiveness which mars the greatest of landslide victories!

I feel so goddamn productive recently. I love it! Seeing so many good movies (and some bad) in a relatively short amount of time, it feels awesome.

In the past 2 months, roughly . . .

(out of 5 stars)

Inside Man – 3
Unforgiven – 3.5
Born on the Fourth of July – 4
Thank You For Smoking – 3
Ali – 2.5
Memento – 4
United 93 – 5
Psycho – 4
Alien – 4.5
Aliens – 1
Mulholland Dr. – 4.5
Some Like it Hot – 4
Annie Hall – 4.5

Score!

3.5 for Unforigven? I think it's one of the best of the 90s.

I finally get to be a night owl during the week, and I have nobody to talk to.

Any other kids out of school yet? If not, when do you get out? I think we start vacation here sooner than most - is that right?

I'm exempt from all but one of my finals, yet my stupid school is having us come in everyday to sign in.

Thinking back, that probably deserves a 4. I don't know, I was just turned off by the conventional-ness of it all and I'm not big fan of the Western genre in the first place.

Deserves an eventual rewatch.

This is flowering now.

What is that pretty flower called JM?

Didn't want to start a whole new thread for this, so I thought I'd say it here.

Yesterday, my daughter came over to ask me "how would you like to be a grandma again?" She's having her third child in January!!!! I'm so excited. She had been saying two was enough, and I believed her. She was just playing me cause she wanted me to be surprised, and boy was I. I jokingly said, "What are you nuts?" Ha ha Truth is, my little Gina has the patience of a saint and is a wonderful mother. I am so excited.

Thanks for letting me share, cause I'm bursting with joy here. My family is getting bigger, everyone is happy, and it's wonderful.

Wow, congratulations TIS!!!

Unfortunately kids, my laptop battery is at 6% as we speak, and its dropping fast... and I left my charger thing at home So I'll talk to you guys Thursday night.

I want chat.

Congrats, TIS! How exciting!

TIS,

That is so exciting. I am so happy for you. I can't wait till I get to be a Mamaw. How many grands do you have now?

Just got back from California a couple hours ago. I'm exhausted!

How was the trip? Hope ya had a good time. Glad you're back

African Violet "Jubilee Red".

Congrats TIS! That's wonderful!

I love David Bowie.

Congrats, TIS! That must be such exciting news!

And due in January? With my name already being the same as hers, wouldn't it be crazy if she ended up having her child on my birthday? Or if the baby was born on the 6th, Zia and Geoff would have someone else to share their b-day with!

Yeah, it's a good month, isn't it? There's XDC, too.

Speaking of which, XDC, I wanna hear all about your trip! Where'd you go, what'd you see, do you have pictures, and most importantly, was there drama, or is everything still okay?

I'm so relieved. I had a GREAT conversation with a lady-friend at work today. Glad that got settled before I head back to the best state in the union on Saturday (New York)

"...a GREAT conversation..."?

I worry about you sometimes.

Aww thanks, I'm glad someone is Turi

How was Francis Ford Coppola able to direct 4 of the greatest films of all time during the 70's and then make nothing worth mention in the next 26 years? (Besides GFIII)

It truly boggles the mind.

Coppola himself addresses this very point here . Click on the diary link. This is his website for his next film, but I did not see any updates on this site for several months.

Interesting stuff man, thanks.

It seems as though he may have been avoiding talking directly about his own failures since the 70's though. Perhaps there is more to come.

I want a jukebox for my room!

I went to a fast food place today with my mom and cousin, and there was one there, playing songs for free - we played Sinatra, Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, Procul Harum, Chuck Berry, etc. I could've stayed there all day, I was having such a fun time.

It'd be so awesome to have one for at home with all my favorite songs.

Seconded. XDC- Spill your guts!!!!

Yea XXX, how was your trip? I know you mentioned where in CA you were going, but I forgot? Didn't you get some cool and rainy weather? This week it's beautiful and well into the 80's in my area.


TIS

Oh my gosh!!! TIS, that is wonderful!! Soooo happy for you and your daughter.
