For Saturday - If These Walls Could Talk 2

On Saturday night, Alex and I were at a friends' house, snuggling up against the February wind with a spread of yummy food, wine, tea and a film: If These Walls Could Talk 2. A TV film about three different lesbian relationships in one house over 3 decades, we all could relate. At times, I was in shock at how little may be really different since the 1960s, legally speaking, in the US. Sometimes I wondered just where the directors were going with certain dialogue. And other times still, all I could do was giggle and sigh. Which is exactly what Sharon Stone and Ellen DeGeneres are doing in the above screen capture: after a scene where they were 'getting amorous,' as friend S might have said, all they could do was giggle and sigh. It was the most relatable moment of the whole film.

Thanks A, N & S.

Working 9 to 5

I'm volunteering this week at a non-profit org that would be really kick-ass to work for, and I'm volunteering basically 9 to 5 every day this week to get a feel for the place. Let me tell you, I'm already exhausted. I don't know how people do it--9 to 5, trying to make a living--but graduation is coming soon and I think I need a little more Dolly Parton in my life to easy the road.

Back to School

Three ladies: one subject. It all takes place on a bus. With Keanu Reeves. But, it's not what you're thinking: University has not become a lame version of Speed. Long bus rides and a female voice keeps telling us where we are.

'Nowhere,' she says.

'You don't want to start from there. You want to start from somewhere else.'

'What kind of bus are we on?'

'One driven by Keanu Reeves.'

'Really? I thought he'd hit rock bottom after he and Diane Keaton split up, but damn.'

'Ewwww!! What?!?!'

'Dude, seriously. But I'd do her.'

'Yeah. Totally. Without the glasses...'

'Does anyone know which one of these quotations marks each of us is?'

'Does it matter? Maybe there's three people here. Maybe there's two.

Maybe there's just one.'

'No, no. There's definitely more than one.'

'Um, yeah, and the second one is struggling to think of anything to say.'

'That's OK. She doesn't determine the plot.'

'There's a plot?'

'You didn't bring it with you?'

'"I thought you had it." Cheesy movie joke.'

'There is no such thing as free titties.'

Yep. Movies 2009.
