I’m just a blog, I’m only a blog, sitting here on html hill…
So, I was originally thinking to myself, “Self…let’s write in this here blog every single day. Maybe twice a day. Heck maybe even…no three times a day is too much…” That was before the procrastinator in me kicked in. The one that found a reason that every thing I was going to blog about was lame, or couldn’t think of all the good things I thought about during the day…or was just plain too lazy.
So, let’s try again…wheeee…
monday, thanks to my good buddy LaLa, I saw The Big Bounce. Not the best movie I have ever seen, but not bad. It had it’s funny moments, and was definitely weird. We thought we knew what was up, but discovered we didn’t at all. The main drawback was the editing. It could have been a lot tighter, which would have in turn made it more intriguing and suspenseful. Also, there could have been more Bebe Neuwirth and Gary Sinise, and a lot less of the vapid blonde (Sara Foster). Of course the plot doesn’t call for that, so the casting director could have cast someone else. I am intrigued at this point to read the book, and see the original version of the film…of course, when the movie is free, maybe I tend to be a little kinder. Then again, Master and Commander was free, and that is the worst movie I’ve ever seen in my life. If I could travel back in time to pay to see a different movie instead, I would. Paul Bettany was fantastic, as usual (he is the only part of the movie that deserves an Oscar, yet the only part ovrelooked), but the rest of the movie is crap! The cinematography was dissappointing (the open sea, beautiful ships, and that’s all they could come up with??), the editing was painful, the script weak (“the lesser of two weevils”??? Are you kidding?), the plot weak, it was ridiculously predictable…I’d better stop, i am not yet over losing that 138 minutes from my life.
Yesterday was sort of a wash. I worked, then went to my wonderful applied kinesiologist/chiropractor (who just happens to be G’s best friend). Last week he did a copper detox on me. It makes one feel sort of fluish afterward as the body expels the metal. This week my body tested for Barium…so another detox. I felt like poo last night. I came home, put on my PJ’s, made some pasta (No protein allowed, for some reason related to the detox), and watched Gilmore girls. I wanted to do something, like clean something, but I just couldn’t move…not even enough to change the channel. So I watched One Tree Hill. I may have liked it, if only I were a freshman in high school. It seems to be the replacement for Dawson’s Creek? (the ? because I’ve never seen it, I’m assuming it was about a bunch of pretty teenagers) I finally got up enough energy to go to bed…yup, in bed at 9. I could hardly stir this morning. YIKES!
I am well aware that it is winter. Sunday, we celebrated the winter by going to the Ice Palace. The weather would have been fine, except for the wind. That, and silly me, I thought that my tennies would be fine. I should have worn my Columbia boots. I seriously was afraid that I would lose toes. I didn’t, but I was worried…anyho, knowing it’s winter, having feared for my toes…I was so not prepared when I left the house this morning. I mean I had my hat, my gloves, a turtleneck, a sweater, a winter coat…you get the idea. However, the below zero base temp, and the ridiculously low windchill were a little beyond reason. According to the radio the northern part of the state had a base high of 20 below, and canada was 40 below…yikes! Our high was -1 degree I think…and right now it’s about 15 below. I wanted to go medallion hunting, but even in Columbia gear head to toe…a little too chilly, even for 10K. Though, we could really use the money. we could pay off a nice chunk of debt…*sigh*
Speaking of freezing weather…somehow, no matter where I work, I bring along the how shall I say, interesting people. When I was at the video store, there were all the scary people bringing in their toddlers at 11:53 to rent wrestling videos, the drunks that we couldn’t get to leave, the guy who stalked me…At the home furnishings store the people who taught their children how to steal…now at the coffee house…we have some interesting ones. At least the guy who says the government implanted a laser in his head, and it’s now a giant magnifying glass and that he can control objects and animals with his mind is nice. But htere is a family that comes in, we believe them to be homeless. The woman is obviously pregnant, the two children malnourished, they are always dirty and unkept. They only get one refill drink. They started coming in last summer. In the fall, the older kid said something about them living up north, they stopped coming in for a while, but now they’re back. A customer said he was doing some exploring around the area, and found someones things not far from where we are located, like someone was living there, and we always see their car parked at the outskirts of a restaurant lot where there is no residential stuff anywhere around, but right where the belongings were seen. The woman started freaking out at another customer one day, swearing that the customer was taking notes about them, about the kids. I don’t feel comfortable elaborating too much, but we are concerned. We have no proof that they are homeless…but even if they aren’t, they don’t look well. And with the crazy cold weather, we worry.
Whew, a lot for one day…I’d better break for the night.
