"Mad Hot Ballroom"

Stay through the credits! There are extra bits! They are funny!

What makes me happy: Remembering Emmett tumbling along the long trampoline during his circus camp show, and how he was the only kid in his group to jump and try to do the splits, and a little girl seated a couple of rows back said, "Oooh, lookit that boy!"

Also happy: Kavalier & Clay is waiting for me at home. I am not quite halfway through. All the goodness it's given me so far, I get to look forward to all over again plus a little extra.

Also happy: I petted a spaniel puppy this morning. It was very bouncy and happy with a grinny little face and unbelievably soft fur.

It also jumped at me so eagerly that it pulled its owner right off her feet, which lessened the happy and made me feel kind of guilty. Also worried, because even though it's a smallish spaniel (maybe a King Charles?) and probably won't ever get over 25 pounds at the very most, if it's knocking her down now she's in a world of trouble once it hits doggie adolescence.

Forgot to mention:

Also happy: going back and rereading the msbelle and Jesse and ita show from last night. That's some funny shit!

Yeah for happy!

I'm going to cheat, and pretend it's time to go.

Don't tell, okay?

Mooooooooooooooooooooom! Perkins is cutting out, early. She's a cheater, and a thief.

Mad Hot Ballroom? So amazing.

For me, like others, BB was entertaining enough but not the best movie I've seen this year. Or even this month. Or even this week. I did truly enjoy Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Just finished giving myself a manicure (=soaking off old fakes and putting on new ones.) They are pretty.

Depending on how cooperative (not) my a/c is, I might go see a movie this weekend. See, it has been working. But if the muggy gets too high, it kinda feebly struggles. $130 electric bill last month, whee. I'll replace the filter and put in another call (they haven't made a peep about my sink NOT DRAINING and it has been what? 2 weeks? Thank god the caustic chemicals mostly worked.) But no need to suffer the humidity if I can avoid it. Also, laundry, which means uncooled but in basement sketcholaundry room. Love my neighbor, but am tired of this shit (I really really really don't plan on telling her I'm leaving until it is a done deal, whenever that happens. Because I think she'll cry. I will too.)

After my mom met her, she said she (neighbor) has the kindest face. And she really does. And it is so full of life.

I also need to start plowing through books a little faster. The piles are growing!

Perkins leaving early makes me happy. As does Kat's new job. getting shit done around my place makes me really happy.

from way, way back...

I hope years of being a customer service rep at Sprint doesn't turn Austin into a broken, bitter man.

being an ex-Sprint call center employee, i have no doubt that this will happen. the email was refreshing though. when i worked there we weren't allowed to deviate from the form letters they provided for us. of course, that was also when the eCare side was just starting up. that place? worst job i've ever had. i have much sympathy for creepy Austin C.

loved all the screename choices for the personals site.

in Tom Cruise news, livejournaler voodoo_in_tx has this available for purchase.

ION i can't not watch The Prince and Me when i find it on cable. it's scary how many times i've seen this movie. seriously.

msbelle's new job? ALSO happy making.

msbelle's new job? ALSO happy making.
