Latest Movies:
Batman
Wayne's World
Ever After

I was in a retro mood - so sue me...and I needed a Michael Keaton fix. When the movie first came out, I didn't think that he could pull it off - I mean, this is the guy that did Mr. Mom...Whatever happened to that guy, anyway??

Questions: What if Batman didn't see the Bat Signal?? Why the heck did Vicki Vale throw her shoes out on the street when she could have simply dropped them on the floor of the Batmobile? Why did she scream every five minutes in the last part of the movie when she had supposedly photographed a war earlier? Why didn't they just shoot her then to shut her up? Why am I up at 5:43 am, thinking about this?

Talked to my dad a few more times since the last entry - the situation is the same. He still doesn't have any time for me. Oh well - it's his loss, not mine. I don't have time for a bunch of promises that he has no intention of keeping.

Contest news:
My designs didn't get picked for the Tennessee coin. WWWaaaahhhhhh!!! I was really looking forward to it (as if I could control something like that...LOL) I've only seen one of the proposed designs and it made me so mad - they broke every rule in the contest. Each entry was supposed to be on a template so that the dimensions would be right; no inscriptions could be included...needless to say - where I felt there should have been a disqualification, there was a finalist.

The design included in this thing was commemorating when women got the vote in Tennessee. That's all well and good but how is that uniquely Tennessee???

Honestly, I don't think this is sour grapes...





Ramblings
Horn Dog

You know, I could really use some romance about now. (I thought I would never say or type those words - call the Weekly World News!) My problem is that I keep ending up with idiots who think I need 'taking care of' - doesn't it sound like they want to take a person out back and shoot them when they say that?? That's what you always say in the movies just before the poor slob gets it - "Take care of him, Rudy..."

Nope - I'm through with that. I don't need taking care of - I like living, thank you very much. An equal would be very much appreciated...I would like someone who doesn't mind having alone time and isn't into togetherness 24 hours a day. I'm not even all that interested in sex (:::the trees bend with the force of the collective gasp:::)...then again...maybe I am - if it's good.

Is the Firewolf turning into a horn dog? Or has it simply been asleep and/or lurking underneath all this time?? Does the Firewolf simply need more pack mates?

Only The Shadow knows...

I was really looking forward to seeing the comet these last few days - all that you're supposed to do is find the Big Dipper and look down. It must be a big bust because I haven't seen crap in three days. Comet, you'd think that you'd make a bigger impression since you're not going to be back for 30,000 years. Be a Diva, girl. Be a Diva.

Oh yeah - since the last entry, I've joined an exercise e-list. Somehow, I have come out with the most minutes so far and I don't feel like I've done much at all. (I don't think that I'm an overachiever...) I've done a few Deer Walks (count so far - 15 deer and about 6 wild turkey); built a butterfly sipper and done a few other things. Yep...at this rate, I'll be ready to hike the A.T. in about 2048. For the record - I'll be 78 years old then. I can't even imagine that.

I went back up to the Mennonite settlement last weekend to get some fresh veggies - I didn't see that guy I saw last time...would I even know him if I did? There was one pretty cute guy by the side of the road, clearing a fence row who even stopped what he was doing to wave...yep, I think I'm answering my own question here about turning into a horn dog. How long has it been? Years and years and years...I beginning to think that Margaret Cho is right - after two years, you go back to being a virgin.

Heck, at this rate, I'll be an embryo at about 5 this afternoon.
