What's happening at 3 a.m.?

Well, for one thing I'm not sleeping. RTL is in Washington and I'm here with the dog and the cat and I can't sleep. And I'm cleaning the house at 3 a.m. I'm also watching Something Wild with Melanie Griffith and Jeff Daniels. Why? I'm asking myself. Pure and simple - nostalgia. Good 14 year old memories. And now that I think about it, I think there was some scheming going on way back when. Shannon always did have ulterior motives. But I digress. My commentary about the movie . . .
I remember thinking this was a fun movie. It's frickin' violent and there are some bloody parts. Throw in some bad acting from Melanie, and well you've got a bad movie. First of all, since Melanie stole Antonio's I've been anti-Melanie. Jeff Daniels is always good for a movie that keeps you entertained. Yet, my curiosity got the best of me and I had to go look up Melanie in IMDB because there is a great shot (it's more along the lines of way too much, for way too long, gratuitous breast shot) of Melanie pre-implant The only thing I could think was that it must be one of her first movies. Boy was I wrong - 12 movie credits and 8 TV credits BEFORE Something Wild! Wow! And her mother is Tippi Hedren. If you don't know who Tippi Hedren is, click here Lots of interesting things about her. Met and fell in love with Don Johnson at 14 (he was 22) and they were soon married. Divorced him not too long after and married another guy. Who would have thought! I just remember the Melanie/Antonio drama. Didn't know it was the 2nd time she and Don were married. Oh, this is too much. Now I'm going to store useless information in my brain that I'll never use again. Staying up past midnight is not always a good idea.

The Secret Life of Bees

Well, I know why I'm having trouble getting through The Secret Life of Bees, it reminds me of home. I'm homesick. So reading the book just makes me sad. Great! Now how long is it going to take me to read this book?

**********************************************
Quotes from the book I've enjoyed so far:

Stories have to be told or they die, and when they die, we can't remember who we are or why we're here. (page 107)

. . . you look like the kind of girl who'll wreck something for sure. (page 118)

hmmmmm

I'm bored so I'm sitting here flipping through communities and I have discovered the mock_the_stupid community. I'm laughing my head off even though I'm sure that there may be some acts of stupidity that I myself have committed, but it's still funny stuff anyway. Because this incident was at the NC DMV, I had to post a link to it for anyone who wants to read.


The International State of Alaska

Grrrrr!

fuck fuck fuck

RTL sent me travel dates. Conflict all around. The set dates:
9/22-23 Germany
9/26-27 Spain
9/28-29 Netherlands
10/10-11 Mexico
10/13-14 Australia

Yes, I'm feeling whiney and want to stomp my feet like a 4 year old and yell that I never get what I want. So sue me. Let me have my pity party.
I'm going to go cry while I figure out how to work things in my favor.
