I finally saw "300"

At long last, I finally got to see it. I'm glad I did. The strongest impression I am left with is, what a wonderful visual of the hero's journey.

We all know how I feel about Gerry, but other than the fact that he has pretty blue eyes, one of the main reasons I like him is due to his talent for disappearing into a role. If you watch Gerry on interviews, with fans, he appears to be a very happy, funny, guy with normal everyday problems. He willingly admits to being OC. (I can relate to that. I am either all or nothing. I have no in between speed)But when you see him act, on screen he (Gerry) is gone. He totally immerses himself into his character. I admire the kind of focus and determination it takes to do such a thing. (Wish I had that myself)

But the best part of all is that for the first time in ten years my husband said this to me while walking out of the theatre. "That is the best movie I think you've ever picked out for us to see." Thanks for that Gerry!

No post for over a month? Somebody slap me! Please!

I'm a horrible, terrible, no good for nothing blogger, that is what I am. I just realized that I have left my poor dilapadated blog for over a month without a new entry! What is WRONG with me? (Well, there is much wrong with me but I'm sure you don't have oodles and oodles of time. You are probably at work, wasting time waiting for the coffee to perk because the last jerk that poured themselves a cup of coffee didn't brew a new pot. How did I know? I'm just intuitive that way. Either that or I'm always the one that gets stuck making the coffee, getting the new roll of toilet paper, etc. etc. I feel your pain)

But why is it that when people use the last of the toilet paper they are not able to go get a new roll of toilet paper and put it back on the holder? Why is this difficult? I do not understand this. I mean sometimes, when I'm lucky, they might actually bring a new roll INTO the bathroom but it never makes it to the toilet paper holder. Kids are excluded from this rant because who ever believes they would do the right thing to begin with. You want them to replace the toilet paper, tell them never to do it. Kids will always do what you tell them not to.

Okay, Okay enough with the toilet paper. What have I been doing the last month that nobody has seen me blogwise or actually in groups or the like. Would you believe I've been writing? Oh, okay. Well, scratch that then. I guess you've heard that a time or two before eh? LOL! You can't blame a girl for trying can you? Sure you can, but I should make this post short because the coffee is brewing isn't it? Gosh, all this talk of coffee is making me want some but if I go drink it then I'll be up half the night and I need to get up early. I can't remember why but I need to.

OMG! Taxes. I've got to do my taxes on Thursday! I need to put a huge, big sticky on my desk. It will take me two days to get all the stuff ready! ACK!!!!! I totally forgot about that. But then I normally forget about things I don't want to do. Taxes, the dentist, the OBGYN. Take your pick. I think I'll just give my accountant the big box of receipts I have. I suppose he would charge me a small fortune to sort through it all. I can see one full day of doing nothing but nasty ole paperwork. Don't you all feel sorry for me?

I didn't think so.

So...I still haven't seen "300" yet. I know I'm agast as well. I'm going this week, maybe after I go see my accountant. Yes, I think that is a capital idea. What kind of horrible card carrying Tart am I that I haven't seen Gerry's new movie yet. Oh, I'm going to get it from all my Tart friends. Well, all except for Lynn, I think she is in Europe. I wonder if she is seeing "300" in London. Lynn, write me when you get back and tell me.

Hmmm...what else, what else. Oh, my mother had surgery, my daughter had a birtday, I've been trying to excerside but I think that has just made me more hungry. How does that happen? I need to drink more water. I finally quit smoking last September and I've gained a few pounds. Ahem. So it's more than a few, who am I kidding. But you know what? I can breathe now. So life is all better.

So what's going on in your part of the internet? Update me people and I will try not to be so long in posting again. I also post over at Wild Hearts (you can see the link in the sidebar) It's a bit of fun posting over there!

See you soon!
