I Woke Up At 5a.m. This Morning After A Bad Dream:

I was the last person in line at the airport to get screened. I kept getting the wand b/c something in my pocket kept setting it off. I finally found out that it was the extra key in my wallet.

By the time I got over to the waiting area, some people left but I didn't see b/c I was trying to gather up my stuff. There were still a few people there so I didn't think anything about it. Then, I saw the trucks with blinking lights, and I asked the ticket guy if Flight 5208 had boarded yet.......he said yes and it's leaving in one minute.

"You'll never make it," he said as I was about to make a dash.

I missed my one and only flight to London.

I woke up sweating.

The 24th Year Itch

Ok, so it's hit me today--and made me quite nervous--that times'a running out.

I had given myself an unofficial deadline (similar to George W.) of pulling my troops out and leaving home. I had casually told people closer to the beginning and middle of 2005 that around Xmas and New Year I would be interested in starting to begin to think about looking for a place to live in Bruce.

Well.....it's here I suppose.

My mom said that in another week or two my brother will be heading up a convoy back to Kuwait, which means a few weeks after that he'll be home. My dad will surely be along shortly after by a month or two. My idea was in order to gain sympathy I would pretend like I was staying at home so my mom wouldn't be alone---and to totally hide the fact that I'm scared to death of leaving b/c I'm gonna starve by the end of the first week.

So now that it looks like everyone's coming home I guess I'm pushing myself out.

Plus, I'm feeling the need for beer and cigarettes more often now, and it's not like I can step outside right now without catching much hell.

So, now I have something else to mull over and get an ulcer about.

There is the option of a roomate, but that would only be for occasional company and someone to wake up with. Besides, there are only 3 people I would even consider as a roomie.....and most likely they don't know blog this exists. So, sorry, I'm on my own.

Alone again...........naturally.

--Gilbert O'Sullivan

So, I was on Comingsoon.net and it had a poll question that simply asked: "Would you want to see a Jurassic Park 4?"

Well, I say NO......as long as Peter Jackson makes some great dinosaurs in King Kong.

I've never really mentioned this to anyone lately, but I always wondered why they didn't make a dinosaur movie that had nothing to do with Jurassic Park? It's not like Spielberg bought the rights to ancient and extinct reptiles.

Anyway......tingling over King Kong!!!

Giggle-Ladys Need To Leave The Theater....

So, for all the trillions of people who are Harry Potter fans...some that are b/c he's a great character; some that are because he's just so cute; some that are b/c trillions of other people are; some that are b/c their parents are sooo religious that they would rather read Harry Potter to piss off their parents; some are b/c it's somehow 'wrong' to read books about witchcraft..........and even though all of these people may be Harry Potter fans, well, thats cool and all but I don't really like him.

I mean, not all of you like Billy Corgan, so there.

But what I will say is that "The Goblet Of Fire" is a great movie. (Conversely, I think that all other prints of the first 3 movies should be burned and never watched again. They are flipping bo-ring.

It had great suspense, and pretty decent story I guess, good effects (obviously something retarded people say b/c the point of effects is that you aren't supposed to know they are effects), and lots of good humor. Now, mind you, it was LIGHT-HEARTED humor, NOT GIGGLE AND GAWK EVERY 2 FUCKING MINUTES (you stupid lady that sat behind me). So anyway, I enjoyed, and the new Oxford Malco Studio is pretty goshdarn nice.

Ah yes, the joys of the McCarthy-Era.

I hope I'm under radar of the Patriot Act when I type this, but I hate movies about the McCarthy hearings b/c they simply piss me off. All that trouble and persecution that went on.....

Ok, I'm only 23 and don't know shit, I know, but it still pisses me off. Especially what they made Elia Kazan, one of the masters, do. And he was hated in Hollywood for it. (I think).

So...to clarify, I thought the George Clooney Directed/Co-Scripted "Good Night, And Good Luck" was pretty good. It was more like watching a documentary, one where you don't know your history and how it ends. But still there's nothing like a good smaller-type movie to watch instead of something laden with special effects shots.

Oh, and matinees are awesome b/c I only paid $5 to see Harry Potter.

Ok so I had to edit a bit of my last post b/c all of you fuckers (all 3 of you) have familys and shit and feel the need to celebrate thanksgiving by NOT going to see the Johnny Cash movie.

Fine.

But I'm not bitter, oh no, far be it from me to hold grudges or anything like that.

After all.....I am a bit richer after last night's trip to Tunica. Even though I have a wanker of a headache b/c Casinos smell like ass and I had two drunk British limeys hanging over my shoulder for a while yelling in my ear and then had to sleep in Adam's car (and apparently I snored) and woke up--just missing the sunrise--at about 6.30 between Batesville and Oxford. But, my mom wasn't panicked and just told me she was wondering whether she should look for me but since the police hadn't called then I must be OK.

Sorry, I'm not trying to ramble all like Faulkner and shit....I'm just bored and trying to spice it up a bit and sound like I'm going crazy.

On a related note the old Cine 4 may be my new Varsity Twin. Now that the bigass theater is finished, they seem to have turned it into the cool hip indie theater. They are now playing all of the smaller films for the hipster crowd. So I may be taking a night up to Oxford once a week now.
------------------
I want to go to Kentucky--during the day--and go to all of the caves. Every few miles we passed by a sign leading to a cave and I wanted to stop and take a tour. But it was night.....and we were late.

I couldn't properly tell AdamH how neat it was for going with....I'm probably the last person you would want to ride with somewhere anyway.

Dang, I had a lot of cigarettes on the way and back. Be sure and check out my funeral soon. Can't Miss It.
------------------
Oh and if someone else wants to express interest in checking out the new Harry Potter in IMAX in Nashville in the next few months, give me a holla back. I won't do like last time and invite one at a time (whilst alienating in the process). I'll do like last week and post publicly. Oh, and there is room for more than one.....just FYI.
-------------------
This past week I would constantly say something, followed by "I'll blog about that," then never do it, then forget it.

..............my fault.

Just when it feels like my favorite show has jumped the shark, "LOST" comes back and proves it can still kick some ass. The second season has comparably kind of sucked so far, but now we're getting somewhere.

Oh, next week the two sections will meet.....finally we get to see Rose reunited with Bernard. Teary-eyed moment for sure....especially when it seemed she was written out of the show......."Nahhh, we don't need religious middle-aged black woman who is married to an old white guy ruining the demographic for the show."

Well, it was good by what little I could see through the fuzz and the fading picture tube and the voice of my mom talking on the phone to an old lady.

Today's Pet Peeve: Loud Phone-talkers. Yeah, I'm one, I know....and I hate it. Just b/c you can't hear them that well doesn't mean they can't hear you. Think about it.

Wheel....Of........The Hell?

So, I know that 'Wheel Of Fortune' is tape delayed, but this is odd....

They are in New Orleans right now. Yeah......it was taped earlier this year. At least they are doing 'help with the relief effort' thingys.

Todays Pet Peeve: Being a living creature. There's so many bothersome things about it, mostly bodily functions involving excreting waste. Just so bothersome, you don't really want to take time out of your day to do them. Ummmm.....excuse me, I have to go right now.

I believe Order 66 has been executed.....on my head.

More and more hair dwells by the drain after I shower.

Just A Quick Reminder......

I know a few more people have started reading this again, including (and consisting of) Natalie & Andrew. Just letting you know why I don't update that often now:

My computer officially went kapoot when I......uh, well, never mind b/c it's embarassing......but anyway it's not working. So now I can't update from the comfor of my room. The only other computer at my house is in another room....and I'm usually using it for other purposes. And, I usually don't have time at work (though that's where I am now), so I just do it when I can.

Besides that, not much has been going on anyway. So, you guys picked the wrong time of year to start back doing your blog thingys.
