WORDS FROM THE M.I.A. MISTRESS



Old movies, old memories, and a cold sneaking up on me.
Started the new job, enjoying it so far. Takes up a lot of my time, hence the lack of electronic communications with the anonymous reader.

Currently watching North By Northwest from Alfred Hitchcock and waiting for the next cat attack on my unsuspecting head. Life can be interesting when your cat's a crackhead like The Pants is.

Finally got out of the house a little bit last night, went to see Minority Report. I have a theory that the better Steven Spielberg's movies get, the worse George Lucas films will become. Take the latest movies, for example. Minority Report had an incredible story, and I assume some better footage than the horrendously mismatched images of Attack of the Clones (and wasn't that the title of a '50's B movie??).

This has to be my favorite part of North By Northwest-- or at least the funniest part-- when Cary Grant is getting chased down by a crop-dusting bi-wing plane. Something absolutely side-splittingly funny about that. I guess the absurdity of being chased by an antiquated plane coupled with the fact that the same antiquated plane ends up kamikaze-ing straight into a tanker truck adds to the sick humor. Hitchcock had a sense of humor, even if it was as dry as the Mojave Desert.

DOH!!!! I TOTALLY forgot to post these entries last week... so here they are, live and uncut.

WRITING WITH NOTHING TO SAY


I sat down with every intention of inputting a Pulitzer Prize-winning journal entry.. but damn it, I have nothing to say. Well, other than Pants is a crackhead. But anyone who has ever met The Pants knew that....

Other than that, yet more viruses. I wrote to charter.net (because that's where all the obnoxious and infected email was coming from) and let them know, hey, one of your users is sending me viruses. Enough already. Well. I just got an email in my site inbox from charter.net telling me (as the owner of the site) that _I_ am sending Klez to their site. ME? I never even USE my site's email because hotmail has an automatic virus scan. AND I don't use a PC, which is what this thing is supposed to infect. So how the HELL am I sending Klez?? I'll have to wait for my tech support buddy to get back to me. He truly is the guru.
