auntiemeeshI watched a couple of fun movies tonight, Better Off Dead and Grosse Pointe Blank.
Better Off Dead was a hilariously painful reminder of all things bad about the eighties, from the hair to the clothes to the music, and the bizarro world approach to high school was scarily appropriate.
Grosse Pointe Blank, which is about an assassin dealing with his high school ten year reunion, made me realize that I'm actually closer to my twentieth than my tenth h.s. reunion. Yikes! But the movie has a great cast, awesome soundtrack (and, you know, lots of mayhem and blood and violence) and is lotsa fun.
Well, it's after midnight and I'm supposed to get up early to go jogging of all things. Yep, I'm giving the running another try. Despite the fact that it's on the road (ouchie painful hard unyielding surface) I'm feeling surprisingly good and the sore shins I had from trekking around town last week have even gone away. Wow!

Q. who needs sleep?
Date: 2006-05-24 09:13 am (UTC)I had a distasteful meeting til 6 yesterday and I couldn't sleep. I finished reading The Rope Eater and that was diverting until 5 minutes after I finished it. So I got up and looked for jobs and filled out two apps online to reassure myself that I can always go somewhere else. I have a real strong "Run Away" instinct.
