For those loyal readers, I've let you down. I never posted anything on the last three hours of LOST. I guess I had so much written, so many ideas, I didn't dare posting them without really looking fanatical. LOL!
I've just been so behind on everything, the last thing I've had time to do is keep up my silly little list, in fact, it's just been a list with drivel, nothing of substance written within. I spoke to a Family to Family group today about recovery and a woman asked me, "How do you fill your days?" I almost vomited on her. Granted, I can't take the stress of a real job, I'd crack after the first 80 hours. Hell, the grand stress produced by my two little jobs is more than enough to want me to look into a second day of therapy per week. How was I supposed to tell her that I have so much on my plate, I never ever am able to have a to do list that's completed?
Today's rabbit proofing didn't go as well as planned, I didn't get quite half way there, and at that, this rabbit fence has seen better days, actually, better years. I just hope that it's finished tomorrow and that I finish cleaning everything up before the holiday. The pee filled yogurt cups will have to come in Round Three, I'm not sure about the logistics of that task. Do I pee in something upstairs, then find a good watertight container to carry through the house and out back or do I just rig something on the back porch and pop a squat once a day? I'm not sure I can convince the old man and his gardening pal to pee in the cups for me, in fact, I'm hoping that he doesn't freak out and realize I'm just using a little ingenuity and human scent to ward off the groundhogs. What if it doesn't work and they still get in and eat everything I've worked on for the past three months? Hell, that's just been getting the damn things to grow, the real work is in the sun for the next three months.
Oh hell, I can't imagine all the books I have to read this summer, movies to catch up on. This will just be a list to keep it up. Have I mentioned that the only thing I seem to be listening to is the new Bell X-1 album? When I'm not listening to it, I'm singing it. I gotta get a radio out by the barn.

crazy french martyr
no. 72 The Messenger: Joan of Arc
I can't say that I think Milla Jovovich is a good or bad actress, although I must say, she's memorable in most parts. Luc Besson is prolific, if anything...
I really did enjoy this: there's alot of great action, its period, hits a lot of funny notes and GRAND. There's just not much to say about it.

sarah who?
no. 71 Forgetting Sarah Marshall
This does get better the more you watch it. Knowing that Jason Segel really was sitting on the Dracula-puppet-musical makes it even more precious. As for Russell Brand, he annoys the fuck out of me. He is such a hack.

dogma doubt?
no. 69 Dogma & no. 70 Doubt
Wow, do these two go hand in hand or what? Yeah, I figured I'd continue on my little Kevin Smith kick and pop in one of my all time favorite movies. I remember first reading about Dogma in 1999, living in NOLA, the first of the EW toilet reader years. I couldn't wait for someone like me to make a movie about their take on religion, tongue in cheek the whole way. It didn't disappoint, and ten years later, I still feel the same way. The message gets fucked up when you surround it with rules, it's about having a good idea. No one has, nor do I feel that anyone will get it right, ever; it will be a boring fight between factions until the end of our days here on earth.
Doubt was phenomenal. Cast aside, the story was amazing. Cast in place, holy cow! It's no wonder all four actors got Oscar nods. If I wasn't afraid that my dad might have a knee jerk reaction, I'd love to watch this with him. Granted it was rural, but he and his six siblings all attended parochial school at this exact time; I think his read would be priceless. Viola Davis was stunning as a mother who loves her son but is frightened of the world he is choosing to live in.

saving grace
no. 68 Saving Grace
Ahhhh, another fun one off flick from the Petey Twilight Saturdays. Every Saturday, my friend Petey and I went to the twilight viewing, then off to watch some boxing at the next door mega-sports bar. It's what we did for like a year, there were some amazing art flicks, mega box office hits and down right let's get stoned in the parking lot feel good movies.
It was just as fun watching this at home - albeit sober :*(

Did Vince really need the money this bad? Paul Giamatti must have wanted to play Santa for the sake of playing Santa because this was a crappy Xmas movies. Hell, there are LOTS of crappy Xmas movies out there, so there's not much you got to do to make a decent one.
