Update
My life: 1. Guilt for ignoring my blog for so long. 2. Irritation and confusion regarding recent familial reaction to it. 3. Uncertain happiness with the guy I'm dating. Have stopped dating others. Might have boyfriend. Wish I weren't afraid of the word "boyfriend."...
War of the Worlds: why my reaction?
Noticing how Spielberg’s War of the Worlds affected me (see yesterday's post) has led me to wonder why. Why did I see the alien invaders as the American military when no pretty much one else did? Hmmm...well...I tend not to put much effort into political action or...
Before the movie started
“So, are you seeing this movie for the completely hopeless terror and the belief that we’re all doomed and there’s no escape?” I asked the young, beach-shorts-wearing man sitting next to me in the theater.“No.”“Oh. I am.”Then I gave my theory, “I think the reason...
War of the Worlds movie review
(I'm sorry, I don't know why these links aren't working and it's too late for me to figure it out. I'll work on it tomorrow.)Okay, sure, I mostly agree with Dominic Corry’s (of www.tvnz.co.nz ) review of War of the Worlds . He writes that the movie is, for Spielberg...
Turn off AC, lose weight?
I have a friend who might not want me to mention her name (Ceece) with whom I was discussing weight gain and loss. She was talking about our tendency to eat less when it's very hot. I've noticed I tend to crave more salads and fresh fruit when the temp is up in the...
Yes, It Is a Big Fat Deal

Guitarist Wanted
I might as well run it here, too: Seeking guitarist for collaboration/performance. I sing, write songs, play electric bass. Acoustic, lyric-driven, alt pop. Let’s be unique and melodically irresistable. Listen to my sound at...
Open Mic Tonight (really)
I will be at the Red Line Tap open mic tonight which starts at about 10:00 p.m. I've got to start singing again.
I think terribly about myself
One friend read my previous post and the responses to it and pointed out to me the folllowing: if I HAD gotten married and divorced, I would now be beating myself up because I'd FAILED at marriage and it wouldn't matter if the entire dating world saw me as a step...
Commitment
A friend recently pointed out that people who date, even for years and years, never really get to know each other until after they get married. That is, there's a level of intimacy and information people won't discover about each other unless they are actually legally...
Slowing Down
I don't know what the situation is with other bloggers, but I've discovered what it is that motivates me to maintain this blog: unhappiness. Mostly pain, confusion and discontentment have driven my postings as I've used this website as a vehicle for my questions about...
10 Things I Have Never Done
Okay, apparently there's this interblog game going of tag. When you're tagged you have to write a list of 10 things you've never done (as far as I can figure). I've been tagged by Barb. Okay, I'll play.10 Things I Have NEVER Done1. Been married. Sorry, just had to get...
