Morning rants and whatever...

First of all, I am sleeping too late.
For several mornings now I am getting up around 9:30 or 10! This is ridiculous to me. Sleep my life away. No way. I have things to do!
It freaks me out how time passes. We watched a movie last night, “The Assassination of Richard Nixon” and Sean Penn is so OLD in this movie! He's only 45 but he looks really old. Is that how old I am supposed to be and look? Granted, he has been in the sun a lot but still. Then I lay in bed and watch some infomercial about this non-surgury face lift mask. It's so ridiculous. These “paid advertisements” that are supposed to look like they are real conversations with real phone in comments. Then when they show before and after pictures, the lighting is so obvious making the dramatic effects. Do people really buy this stuff?
I know, people will say I should talk, but the stuff I use, actually works. I use the Philosophy skin line. Very good stuff. Really all you have to do is take care of your skin and exfoliate the dead skin cells. And drink a lot of water. AND stay out of the sun. I have always taken care of my skin. It has always been a kind of hobby of mine. Also, I have pretty good genes and very oily skin. I have a big ole shiny head.
Back to the movie, it was very good. It was frustrating because this guy’s life was so sad. Jason made the comment that Sean was an excellent actor because you felt sorry for this character. But we say that knowing that he is going to end up murdering people. If you didn't know the ending of the movie you would feel sorry for him anyway. Everyone around him is an asshole. his boss is so annoying and he wife seems to be very cold and bitchy and heartless. Then ofcourse, the president being Richard Nixon, this guy was driven to act out. But utlimately, why I felt sorry for him was because he was stupid. He was a dumb person, or rather, he used his smarts for the wrong reasons. He comes up with fairly decent franchise idea and then also masterminds his plot to fly a plane into the White House.
Why am I talking about this movie? Go rent it, so I can stop talking about it.
I want to fill out one of those questionaire things. Where do you find those online? I am going to go find one.

...found one!

1. What’s your favorite kind of cookie?
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut fresh from the Mall and eaten in five paces.

2. Who is America’s most overrated actor?
This is a difficult choice as these days there are so many actors who are terrible and the focus has been taken away from the craft of acting and it's all about celebrity. I want to say Tom Cruise but then he can be good in movies as irritating as he is, he never has won the oscar, so people are on to him, but I wouldn't say he was the MOST overrated. Also there are so many cross over celebrities “dabbling” in acting. (Jessica Simpson for instance) so I will make my choice based on someone who is and only IS an actor. How about Sharon Stone?

3. Name a guilty pleasure.
Peanut Butter and very cold margarine on Ritz crackers

4. “Scrubs” or “Everybody Loves Raymond”?
Neither. Of both of these I have seen only bits. More bits of Scrubs so if I have to make a choice, then I will say Scrubs.

5. Name two things you can’t live without.
Well, this is a weird question. I mean, if I were going to be technical about it and truly imagine myself in a situation of what would NOT allow me to sustain life, I would have to say food and water. So I guess I am choosing the technical answer as opposed to the answer I think people want to hear like, my kitty cat and my life partner.

6. Your first pet’s name + your mother’s maiden name = your porn star name.
Bridget Walledom!

7. What song are you listening to right now?
Nothing. I am listening to trickling water from the fish tank. So, the song, “Trickling Water” from the new hot group, “Fish Tank”

8. Name your celebrity crush.
Wow... narrow THAT one down. Most recent would be the guy who played Johnny in “Fantastic Four” and the beautiful Kevin Zegers

9. Favorite punchline from a joke.
“You're getting VD because that's what I came here for...”

10. Who do you want to pass this meme off to?
Not a soul. And what's a “meme”? A typo?
