Every now and then

We need to see a magnificent horse

Five Worst Movies of all time ~ according to me

Lifted from Frank's blog.

1 Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. I don't think we even said anything--just got up and walked out. I've been wary of every Steve Martin movie since then.

2 How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Jim Carrey should be the roast beast.

3 The Quick and the Dead. Hard to believe that a reasonably good cast (Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio) could make such a dead horse of a western. String 'em all up, I say.

4 The Wizard of Oz. I read every one of Baum's Oz books, and I don't know where Judy Garland (ick) was, but it wasn't Oz. A sappy downer of a movie.

5 The Guns of Navarone. One of Frank's comments reminded me of this. This entire movie was filmed in the dark. My mom and I saw it at the drive-in and spent the whole time asking each other what was happening.

Any movie with any of these people in it could lengthen anyone's Worst-of list: Madonna, Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey, any of the Rat Packers, Charlton Heston, Sondra Locke, Barbra Streisand, Sylvester Stallone, Prince, Marilu Henner, Judy Garland, Liza Minelli, Tony Danza, Andrew Dice Clay. I'm sure there are more but it hurts to think about this.

It's..


I am tired from working.
I want a glass of wine.
I want a kitty.
I bought a new book and I don't like it.
I have mosquito bites and a blister.
I don't wanna make dinner.
Every surface in my house has pollen on it.
Only one of the chile seeds has sprouted. Maybe I got bad seeds.
Maybe I'm a bad seed.
I hear sirens.
I think that's all.
Sigh.
