That movie is just going to break my heart in a hundred ways, isn't it?

I think so yes.

There is a LOT of pretty! And it looks pretty sweeping and moving and the sadness of cowboy love. The part where he's dancing the shirt is just beautiful and sad.

Good lord. I'm a grammar stupidhead today.

It's good. Lori's watching for a second time in 2 minutes.

Same here.

Yes, dancing with the shirt was just, well... teeny, tiny little pieces of heart.

Happy Birthday le nubian!

Rather on emotional overload here. Between the horrors from Katrina, and MIL's pending cancer surgery, and next door neighbor just had a brain tumor removed.

The day that Katrina briefly visited S. Florida I noticed the paramedics next door. When I called my neighbor to see what was up she said that her husband had pain in his head and had been taken to the hospital. She couldn't go with him because the hospital was closed to all but emergency workers due to the storm. The next day she finds out he has a brain tumor, metastasized from melanoma. They’ve removed the tumor, but he is in pretty rough shape. Not walking yet. He is an extremely fit 80 year old man. Works as a personal trainer. Teaches tennis. Goes to Hawaii every year to kayak. I’m sure his physical condition is working in his favor, but scary as all get out.

MIL is doing what needs to be done with getting referrals and such so she can have her surgery.

As soon as I get the kids settled down for the night I will have Brendon pick me up and bring me to the place where his pool team is playing. I think wine is required.

See, I'm not one for slash, but that movie based on y'all sounds like something an unrepentent-in-fiction romantic like me would like.

I read where Heath Ledger said making out with Jake Gyllenhal wasn't that much fun.

Maybe for HIM. But I'M certainly going to enjoy it.

Laura,

I'm glad to hear MIL is taking care of herself.

Thanks for the b-day wishes, y'all. I had a good one. I'm 36 now!

5:08 P.M. - (AP): President Bush is warning Americans about the nation's gasoline supply, saying everyone must understand that Hurricane Katrina has had a significant effect.

Man, this morning the lowest gas price in town was 2.55, and I figured I'd go fill up after work (I have 1/4 of a tank left). Yeah, in 6 hours the lowest price anywhere in the city was 3.09. Fucking sucks.

sarameg, I think you'll like it. It looks really beautiful; lots of sweeping vistas. (And I'm not saying that it's beautiful strictly from the slash perspective).

See, I wouldn't consider this slash, in a sense. It's a love story that happens to be about two guys.

I mean, definition of "slash" is an ongoing debate, now that there's actually media with same sex couples. But this somehow doesn't feel like slash to me.

Not that I will not enjoy the boykissing. Yeah.
