1. Ben-Hur is on. I love that old movie. It's the race at the Circus now. Run horsies, run! And before that I watched my favorite parts of Pretty Woman for the 78th time. I know, I know - turn in my feminist credentials at the door. But Julia Robert's character was so endearing (if unrealistic) and I am deeply in love with all of the shopping scenes and the outfit she wears to the polo game. I'm shallow. And then before that, I rewatched Dante's Peak for the dozenth time, too. Not all of it, but most of it. There are all sorts of cheesy movies that I will rewatch every single time they show up on TV. Because I have very little taste.
2. We missed the bullet on the big ice/snow storm. (Is that how that cliche goes? It doesn't sound quite right.) Anyway, we ended up with many 90 minutes of freezing rain, and then the temps climbed and the ice melted and then it rained on top of that. I hope to wake up tomorrow and find just an inch of slush out there. someone make it so, please.
3. I made turkey for lunch. And baked potatoes. No stuffing, no other veggies. It was a Spartan meal. I'm sure that there's some Sparta/Turkey joke that's in there somewhere, but I just can't pull it off right now. Feel free to jump in with one.
4. For the most part all of the cats got along today. There was one brutal sneak attack by Little on Chloe, but Mark separated them quickly. For a couple of hours, they were all peaceably co-existing, and it was great.
5. I'mtempted to switch over to rewatch The Mothman Prophecies, but to be honest, it creeps me out too much. I can't watch it right before I go to bed. Have you ever googled it? Lots of weird stuff shows up. I'm not sure what the explanation is, but something sure as hell is going on with it.
6. The icon is apropos of absolutely nothing other than the fact that I adore the animation from Snow White. I wish I could find one of the stepmother before she turned herself into the ugly personna.
7. Wicked insomnia tonight.
8. Tomorrow is the first celebration of a new Canadian holiday: Family Day. I kid you not. They came up with it because they needed a 3-day weekend in February. Again - I kid you not.
9. Oooh, now we're at the Valley of the Lepers scene. One of my faves even in childhood. I was a weird kid.
10. Time to reheat the pack for my back. Not a backpack, though. One of those packs that you stick in the microwave for a couple minutes and then apply to whatever body part is making you cry. My sacrum is just one gnarled mass of bone scraping together. It's been really bothering me for the past couple of days; I'm thinking it's a combination of the effects of shoveling and the damp weather. Damn rheumatiz! ::shakes my metaphorical cane at the heavens:: And you damn kids get off my lawn, too!
11. Seriously, more drugs are in order if I'm going to get any sleep at all. Or maybe I should take this opportunity to just stay the hell up all night. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
12. Orrrrr - maybe I should have a slice of turkey. L-triptophan and all that. Not that it ever worked for me, but hope springs eternal.
13. And now we're at the Sermon on the Mount. "Blessed are the cheese makers." Oops, wrong movie.
