Deadlines are HARD.
6 am is a ridiculous time for anyone to do anything. How do birds and bus drivers and old people do it? The only coherent thing I could say this morning was, “gah” and that doesn’t really mean anything. Except maybe to old people. They have their own language, you know. For instance, “Would you like to see a movie this weekend?” is roughly translated as “Gah, dentures” (sucky dentures noise) “Lawrence Welk” (smiling towards a wall) “gah talkies?”
I’ve traveled quite extensively, so I know what I’m talking about.
This morning I had to get up with Dane - IT WAS STILL DARK OUT - and start writing my review for First Sunday. I don’t want to give anything away but Stupid Piece of Trash Not Worth The Time It Would Take To Pee All Over It just about sums it up.
Don’t ask me how I would pee all over a movie. I will do whatever it takes to get my point across. I am a lady. Motherfuckers.
Anyway, I think? the review came out fine. I’m not sure yet. We’ll have to see what Erik says. This one was 300 words which is many more words than the 50 I was doing before. At least, let’s see - add the five, carry the zero - at least FIVE MILLION more words.

The screening was interesting. It was put on by Jammin 95.5 (gawd) and Dane and I sat next to the very serious Willamette Week guy. I had something in my eye for the first half of the film which was a bitch. Also, every single resident of Gresham was sitting in the audience. Luckily, security confiscated their cell phones. But not mine. I guess they figured I’d need it to light my notebook. Which I forgot. Instead, I just stabbed myself repeatedly in the hand with my pen to keep awake. Very effective.
I’ve traveled extensively, so I know what I’m talk- ok, I’ll stop.

I can’t imagine sitting through that movie…..
AND NOT BUSTING YOUR GUT!
(Gasp) TRAITOR!!!!
That scene with the lady singing a hymnal Happy Birthday may have been one of the most embarrassing movie moments in history, but I doubt it even holds a candle to Grey’s Anatomy, which last night featured not one, but TWO!, two successive melodramatic montages, interlaced with occasional cheesy script, and played out over some of the sappiest music imaginable.
Then again, bad comedy is always worse than bad drama.
Why are you watching Gray’s Anatomy? Do have a fever?
The only fever I have is for more cowbell.
My roomies are big fans of all the shows about anorexic models, guerilla interior design projects and emergency room melodramas. The Gray’s Anatomy viewing was a fluke, but I must admit, I’m addicted to Project Runway.
i stab myself in my hand sometimes to keep from punching Stupid People in the face. It works.
sometimes.
