Hodge Podge. Like a category in Jeopardy.
I couldn't help but notice that I haven't posted in weeks and weeks, nary a post in this new year, and the world has not stopped rotating. The Lord works in mysterious ways?
My boo's dad died at the start of the year and it's been something of an adjustment. The world didn't stop turning for Dennis Marshall either, but it did seem to move a little wobbly. What I liked best about him is that he reminded me of my grandmother. She died around the same time two years ago. Of course they're different people and he's his own snowflake, but in my head, for the brief year that I knew him, I saw a little of her in his eyes and it made me happy. So now that's done.
It's a new year and of course my annual resolution persists: to be a perfect person, which usually equates to losing weight so that I will finally deserve real love, but in addition! Resolutions include:
1. To not be such a bitch.
2. To throw the spinning curvy ball in bowling.
3. To make a list of every new film I see.
4. To build my website,
5. and finally, to get into a graduate school somewhere else in the country and get out of this place if it's the last thing I ever do. Who's coming with me?
Here's what I've seen so far.
1. The Curse of the Jade Scorpion
Something like my 36th Woody Allen film. Soon Erik and I will see them all, and then what?
2. The Addiction
Something about vampires?
3. Revolutionary Road
It's good. It's better the more I think about it. Download it today!
4. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The more I think about it, the more I fucking hated this movie. I want to write an entire book on how much I hated this movie, on what a preposterous, useless premise it is, what a waste of fucking money and talent, what a recycled piece of Forest Gump shit it is, what a grab bag of recycled characters inhabit it, and on and on and on, but you know, I got stuff to do. Do yourself a favor and don't see it.
Happy late 2009! I love you all. If you know me in real life, help me keep my resolutions and tell me when I'm being a bitch. If not, what a cruel, forever rotating world it is that we can't be together.
