Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wookey Hole?!?!? Hee.

I am hot AND tired AND bored! BAH.

OH Batman in IMAX, must look into daytime tickets for Thursday or Friday.

I agree with Kat, midnight is too late for a movie for me. I just don't care that much about seeing anything right away.

eating every few hours make me feel hungrier. why is that?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Why is shopping for my dad so difficult? At least, looking for something other than a shirt seems difficult. My dad is far too practical for most of the fun/whimsical gadgets out there.

Time to head to work. Today is all about fun with rope light.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

msbelle -- maybe the emptying of your stomach (as opposed to an empty stomach) is what triggers your hunger?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I am awake! Coffee happened this morning with no untoward incidents. I am so very proud of myself.

Y'all are making me actually want to see M/M Smith. I'm assuming that as long as I don't attempt to actually claim Adam away from Kat, I can watch him in perfect safety and comfort.

And Brad Pitt bringing the funny can be very funny indeed.

I think the fact that he is olympianly beautiful + good timing + the funny.......he's really wonderful in comedy. I wonder if his looks get in the way of him doing so more often.

Yup. This. Years ago the film guy for The Nation (can't really call him a reviewer; more like a film ponderer and digresser) wrote a longish article about Matthew McConaghey, looking at the handful of little quirky sidekick roles he'd done (the kind of stuff that gets handed routinely to folks like Owen Wilson and Steve Zahn) and comparing them to the metric assload of lead roles he plodded unremarkably through in the '90s, and concluded that he was a terrific character actor trapped in the body of a romantic lead.

Brad Pitt is pretty much in the same boat, except a big enough star that he has somewhat more freedom to choose roles that privilege the funny or quirky or whatnot, and downgrade the pretty to a gift with purchase.

ION, I have now officially passed one of the milestones of real-life parenting by grimly sitting through a crap movie because it's what the kid wanted to see: Shark Boy and Lava Girl, which was rather pretty (except for the 3-D, which was merely irritating) and astoundingly incoherent. On the upside, though, I donated a dollar to a charity at the box office and got a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory mini-poster, and my willingness to sit through the movie endeared me to Emmett (that, and my willingness to buy him nachos and Dots), and he cuddled and nestled and slounged on me last night before bedtime.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Aww, JZ, that's so sweet.

Thrive to spite them

I want to see Batman Begins at the IMAX! But they won't have it "for a month or so". Bah. I'll just wait and watch it Friday as a post birthday treat.
