Imagination at Work!

Zora won. I could say that I watched only because I thought they might show the bar where my sister works since the Joe Millionaire crew filmed there not too long ago. But the truth is I was extremely curious to see who Joe Millionaire would choose. The Inn wasn’t shown this evening although maybe next week. The local news did show a clip from the bar and I could see Lisa in the back…. hiding behind the beer taps. Why would they show the Inn? Zora is a hometown girl and that is the bar where she hangs out. We are doing so well– Justin came in second in the American Idol competition and now Zora wins Joe Millionaire. We aren’t so ho-dunk after all!
Ugh! I drank too much this evening (a combination of trying to make my parents tolerable and having to sit though 2 hours of reality TV rot). Now I have a splitting headache and I feel queasy. Damn Fox and Zima.

Snow, snow, and more snow.

Audra came over on Valentine’s Day and together we went to the bar where Lisa works. Lisa was bartending and so we drank quite a bit for very little– which is quite nice! Who needs a man when you have a bartender for a sister! 🙂 Last night I watched almost all of Gigi. It didn’t bother me to turn it off early; I’ve seen it too many times. More snow is headed our way. Will it ever turn to Spring?

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
Say it auf deutsch! Ich liebe dich von ganzem Herzen! Du bist mein Schatz. Für dich soll’s rote Rosen regnen! Kein großes Geheimnis wie sehr ich dich liebe!

1. Watch sappy romantic movies
2. Eat tons and tons of chocolate
3. Rejoice in my singlehood!
Same things I do everynight

I find it strange that the later I go to bed, the easier it is to wake-up in the morning. Last night I stayed up later than usual thanks to the most disturbing film, The Night Porter. I have wanted to see this movie ever since I was in High School but the local video store never carried it (I no longer wonder why!). Finally, I came across it on IFC and watched it from the very beginning. I love Dirk Bogarde. It was just odd seeing him as a sadistic SS officer. How could the man who starred in Penny Princess, The Spanish Gardener and The Angel Wore Red do that to poor Charlotte Rampling? Of course, then I realized that the man who starred in The Servant, Modesty Blaise, and Victim could! What was the most disturbing scene? The naked man performing ballet for the SS officers was disturbing. Charlotte Rampling singing WENN ICH MIR WAS WÜNSCHEN DÜRFTE in only a pair of pants and suspenders was slightly more disturbing. Charlotte falling for Dirk, her German Nazi torturer was even more disturbing. Charlotte and Dirk rolling around in strawberry jelly was most disturbing. All in all, a great Valentine’s Day movie 😉

All it does is snow. I am feeling seasonally affected. Still haven’t joined LA Fitness. All I do is work and watch old movies. Last night I saw Trouble in Paradise on TCM. It was gorgeous and fantastic and it captivated me. So much so that I willingly missed the first 1/2 hour of Smallville. (If you must know, I have crushed ever so slightly on Lex Luther and Papa “Bo” Kent).

Ants Invasion 2002 I can’t believe it– An Adam Ant Tribute Band! What a great idea!
Just watched a silly B movie, Love Bites… starring Adam Ant as Zachery Simms… a vampire! It was great. Very enjoyable in that stupid early 90’s way. Got me to wondering what happened to Adam Ant. Last I had heard, he went berserk in a pub and flashed a gun at the patrons. Apparently he was dressed like a cowboy and the regulars laughed and hummed the theme to a spaghetti western which set him off. He doesn’t seem to be fairing very well. The pictures that I have found show him looking rather bloated and ruddy. Poor Adam. The face paint has worn off.

Side Note: I want to see this movie Ant Muzak

Lisa and I took our parents out to eat for their 41st Wedding Anniversary last night. It was nice. We went to a local Italian restaurant. Usually we never eat at Italian restaurants because that is what we cook at home. Regardless, it was different than usual and very yummy.
Other nice things:
The American Diabetes Association sent me ADDRESS LABELS! My expense checks are now direct deposit! The latest Anthropologie catalog came in the mail today. I remembered to watch Smallville yesterday. My old German exchange guest sister and penpal just gave birth to a baby boy! My hair is long enough to braid. I have a 20.00 gift certificate to the Express. And I saw the entire John Garfield Story on TCM. 🙂

Pre-Dating Speed-Dating Events: How Busy Single Professionals Meet! This was on the news last night. I wonder if I should do it? There are a few sessions coming up in Philly and $28.00 isn’t bad.

It’s a beautiful day– I probably could have worn my bathing suit… but I did my laundry yesterday. 🙂
