Long time no see....

So I started this blog because I always have little thoughts running through my head and wanted a place to put them, so that I wouldn't go crazy. Well, that hasn't seemed to have worked. I have posted twice in a month. I think I put too much hope in this blog. I wanted to make it more news related and topical, then about my random thoughts. The problem with that is I really don't have that many strong opinions in regards to news. News in news. Its an update on events, obviously when events happen there are feelings about them, like Obama becoming democratic nominee pissed me off, but I don't think anyone (i.e. me) would benefit from a rant about how this sucks.

Thus my random steam of consciousness for the day... Lifetime network.

I watched it for the first time today, I was surfing the channels ( a novel idea for you young folks) and came across a movie about this lady who was involved with the mob. She was cute, bossed people around, and made a boat load of money. Thus, I thought I might enjoy it. 

Boy was I wrong, OF COURSE. It turned into a "How I gained control of my life, you can too!" story. Which sucked. Majorly. If anything I felt a little dirty, my once pure movie mind, full of darkness and cynicism from years of indie movie viewing was suddenly brightened with the cheesey lights of Lifetime. I felt like a vampire shackled in the sunlight, no place to hide, flesh burning etc etc...

That reminds me, was Christian Bale in Interview of a Vampire? For some reason I have this vivid image of him playing a vampire in some movie from long ago.

To remedy this state of unclean I found my mother and made her have dinner with me, then watch Hoax with Richard Gere, which I actually liked. I don't know if it was advertised as a small-release indie movie or a box office drama, because I was out of the country for so long, but it immediately closed the shutters on my little world, ensconcing me with "culture."

Sucks. Ahh...three is an even number : )
