Things Other People Accomplished
When They Were Your Age
At the age of 27, Ernest Hemingway published his first novel, The Sun Also Rises.

The Sun Also Rises
I think I am going to try to read this book. “Try” being the operative word. There was a time I was a voracious reader but something happened, namely the Internet. I just can’t focus my eyes unless it is on a glowing screen. I did read the Bridget Jones books- but they were on long plane trips. I saw The Sun also Rises on AMC or TCM a couple of times….I love Ava Gardner. At least with her cast as Lady Brett, you know why all they guys are falling all over themselves. That is a peeve of mine– in movies and tv guys fall over women who are incomplete, uninteresting blah blah. What am I saying? It happens in RL, too.
I have decided to throw my hat back into the ring and upload a profile to the online match scene. Did it a few weeks ago and came away with 3 dates. Of course I never got a call back, but I like to think it was the men and not my charming personality. 🙂

I found some Web sites linking to donnaville.com/!!! Perhaps I am crazy but I feel absolutely effervescent knowing there are Web sites linking to me! (It is a similar feeling as to when Nationwide Ins Co. gave me a $50.00 gift certificate to the Bon Ton)

Here are the Web sites:

What amazes me is that these are all top notch Web sites. (NO PORN!!!) I am impressed and happy. Thanks guys! (The gift certificate to the Bon Ton is in the mail ;-))

HAHAHAHA! Dana and Fox are alive and TOGETHER!!! Monica and John are alive and I believe John is getting over the death of his son and so they will be TOGETHER too!!! No one died! The truth is intact!! THANK YOU CHRIS CARTER!!! After the death of the Lone Gunmen, I didn’t trust him. If he could kill off my favorite guys, then he could kill off anyone and I will admit the series finale scared me. I could just imagine everyone dying ( A la Forever Knight’s last ep). Of course I am still in denial and I stayed glued to the sofa waiting, hoping, and praying for next week’s coming attractions- but of course it was just the coming attractions to Ally McBeal. Oh, it’t not so bad, perhaps there will be a movie. The X-Files will continue.

There was a commercial for a new series called: John Doe. It looked interesting, maybe it will fill my need for Sunday night stomach churning entertainment.

Lyrics to Marlene Dietrich Songs
My Marlene Dietrich impression is getting better!!!!! Now I can memorize the second verse to Falling in Love Again auf deutsch! The Lily puppy likes it when I sing it to her on our nightly walks.

I keep thinking about Attack of the Clones. There is a good movie hiding somewhere in this latest installment!!! I am sure of it!

If I were in charge, I would have made the romance between Anakin and Amidala more like the Tommy James and the Shondell song, “I Think We’re Alone Now.” Additionally, I’d cast a dwarf in the role of Yoda because all great movies have a dwarf. Costume-wise, there were simply not enough cod pieces represented; I’d change that for sure! And instead of those creepy dinosaur-like creatures in the Ben Hur scene– why not digitally insert George the Animal Steele or Andre the Giant? Now that would be a fight I’d pay to see! I’m also thinking a musical number, something like Dead Ringer for Love by Meat Loaf. Or maybe a dream sequence with mimes. 🙂

It’s not too late, George. You obviously need someone to collaborate with you on the final episode…I have tons of great ideas! CALL ME!!!

Anyone who is thinking about seeing the newest installment of Star Wars: SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! Lisa and I just got back and I can honestly say that this movie is right down there with Ready to Wear, Even Cowgirls get the Blues, Son of Pink Panther, and Excess Baggage. Obi Wan Kenobi’s sex appeal cannot save this movie!!! Although let me tell you the beard was a definite improvement, I could finally see what Audra and Lisa have been drooling about for all these years. Anakin Skywalker actually grew on me as the movie progressed. I think he started to stand straighter, I hate slouchers. There was one part where little Yoda kicked some evil Jedi ass and it was great, the one part where everyone cheered and the girl next to me actually stopped snoring and woke up! (honest!) I think if you were to ask Yoda what he thought of this film he would say: Hmmmm, very bad this movie was! 🙂 At one point during the Ben Hur fight scene which actually reminded me more of Jason and the Argonauts, Lisa leaned over and whispered, “I feel so bad for the Jedis….they have such stupid hair cuts.” I sadly shook my head in agreement.
Audra and I spoke earlier this afternoon and she had seen Suck Wars last night at a midnight show and she loved it. Although, I am quite sure it wasn’t above the Pirate Movie or the Worst Witch in her book, right Audra? 🙂

I just remembered my dream last night. I was Wonder Woman….again ( I don’t know why) and I was married to Woody Allen. He kept whining and whining and I couldn’t remember why I married him. Suddenly my favorite professor from Rosemont appeared and I was so happy that she could see me in my costume. “I really have come far since college,” I thought as I twirled my golden lasso of truth.

Too much TV as a child must be to blame.

Merriam-Webster OnLine Look up shit and listen to the second pronunciation! Priceless! 🙂

Yesterday I did something very very stupid and although I was able to restore an old backup, I LOST 11 MONTHS OF EMAIL!!! That includes my address book!!! Anyone who has written me, please write me again or just send me your email address!!! (Girl from Montreal- I want to write you back, I just lost your previous emails and your address).

It was odd looking at email dated June 2001 in my inbox and draft folder. My life has changed considerably since then. I was still traveling to Baltimore every week and desperately in love with Heiko. I rarely travel, now. I work in my office most of the time and fail miserably at the dating game. Regardless, I feel I am in a better position today.
