Of course.

After Hours is fucking awesome.

As a matter of fact, I'm tempted to fill that in on my top tens, just like I did American Werewolf.


As lame as top ten/20 lists are, I think I'll continue putting my own together, because you forget sometimes, and end up not seeing your stuff for a long time.

I love that movie. It's so about me.

Dude- I was in a commenting FRENZY last night.

You guys are in an entirely different league. I'll never know how you do it. It's killing me, I swear!

Exactly! See, there's the power of positive thought.

It's so difficult for me right now, you know? I know that in time it will get easier, but right now I can't even find the words to express how I am feeling. I just keep trying to focus on all of the fond memories I have of her. I want to celebrate her life, not mourn her death.

Sarah Jessica is good. I esp like it when her hair is wild-lionesque! Also I am such a terribly big fan of SITC. Santa even brought me the board game.

hey! i know i've been sucking with correspondance lately. decided to just laze and rest. it's been working . . . i'm slowly coming back to life! yay!

and your "Contraception, people!" totally makes me laugh!

Thankyas!

I hope everything's going alright over on your end...and I miss yas too ciao!

Moving sux. Performance review sux. Monotony sux.

Quivering, or causing to quiver--that doesn't suck. Not at first, anyway.

Okay, now I'm gettng it. People stop speaking to me because I'm "intimidating." The actress surface must be overcompensating so thoroughly for my basic low self-esteem that it meshes completely with that substrate, and I don't even realize that what feels like mere banter to me may be carving people's insides out. But it is still their fault as much as mine. A person with a core won't be carved out by readings playing about the surfaces.

I'm telling you this, yes, because you are, thankfully, an exception. That's what I meant by my sense of your groundedness: you grant latitude to a variety of "types" of people and aren't intimidated or theatened or reactionary. When I was asking you to suggest another good match, I wasn't asking for someone like me, but someone like you: tolerant. So far, I'm batting zero with people "like me" (i.e., literary and ill). Soul mates are overrated; give me a drinking buddy instead.

Yeah, I'm dreading the performance review charade. My hubby says they do always highlight something wrong, so they don't have to give you a decent raise. Eight years is unthinkable to me. I've never lasted a year! Night, night wild child.

Yeah, as the week goes on it gets harder to get up for work in the mornings. And I have to work on Saturday this week too
What movies are you getting?
Oh, one more thing....TEQUILLA!!!!!!

The Benatar cover of "Wuthering Heights" follows the original pretty closely (albeit with a bit more classic rockin'). Pat definitely leaves her stamp but its still "Wuthering Heights" thru and thru...its on iTunes if you get uber-curious.

It's called Mitral Valve Prolapse. Or MVP, like Most Valuable Player.

are you going to see the aly crew today do you think?

ben (hooraydiation) is awesome. I really hope you get to meet him.

That show was of over the top...I miss it! I can't wait to see what this board game is like...

We have to move by the end of February. I hate moving!

Yeah, I've always had a thing for Jane Wiedlin too.
Should I throw in her "greatest hits" (my version) too?

Nothing beats the original but ol' Pat hit it with her best shot Yes, I just made that bad pun and make no apologies.

thanks dooooood. marriage rocks.

There were some really fantastic elements to Apocalypto. Rudy Youngblood was superb in the lead. Mel sure does love his point-of-view shots when it comes to the moment of death and that theme gets a bit *yawn* after a while. The epicness of the movie was actually reminicent of Conan ala De Laurentis or even De Mille.

I agree with you completely on the personal -level thing. Oh well, we'll always have Mad Max 2.

In Swahili there is a male equivalent of cunt. We don't really have a male equivalent in English. Calling someone a "dick" is quite affectionate compared to calling them a "cunt". The word has never offended me either. I just wish there was an equal male counterpart and then it wouldn't have it's derogatory connotation, at least in the culture I move in.

Have a great one yourself..we've got these comments down "Pat".

(Sadly) because of the all-pervasive presence of the US in our media, swearing in Australia is very similar.

Little kids say "ass" and "butt" now intead of "arse" and "bum". "Crap" is huge now, whereas it was quite rare 20 years ago. Basically we're a fuck, shit, cunt country these days with plenty of "buggers" thrown in too.

Oh dear Miss Shelly, I do have to say that does make you a wimp . Just a few minutes ago I had to remove a large huntsman spider from a pineapple in the kitchen and we regularly have brown snakes (super deadly) around where I work.

It's just part of life and the creatures deserve to be here as much as we do. They're generally shy and prefer to be away from us as much as we want to be away from them .

It's really not that bad. In the city you're very unlikely to come across anything.

It's the oceans in the tropical parts that are scary. Stingers.

Oh, and in the bush, the dropbears can be frightening too....
