Movies!
Can you believe this? But Movies12 sells tickets for $0.50 each on Mondays. So of course, my sisters and I spent our share of moola watching a movie marathon. Well, it was going to be a marathon of three movies straight, but after the second one, our butts were hurting, we were sick of cheap candy foods, and honestly, after a while, movies start to put you to sleep.
We were going to watch Corpse Bride, Legend of Zorro, and 40 Year Old Virgin, but we ended up ditching the latter. It sounded adolescent anyway and we had enough of that in Zorro. Ok, it was _I_ that had enough of that; I don't need to speak for my sisters. (I hope that was the correct use of a semi-colon?)
Corpse Bride was fun. Zorro was waaay too Patriotic, mushy, I-hate-the-kid at times. I did, however, like the special effects and the stunts. My favorite had to be Antonio Banderas spinning under a guy's arm to lock the bady in a seemingly painful armlock. Tambien, me gusta el Espanol--que idioma bonita! I wish I knew accents better because I'm not sure if Catherine Zeta-Jones was doing a good job of pulling off a Spanish accent or not. Isn't she Welsh? I dunno. Is it just me or is she not as hot as before? Maybe Antonio is getting old too. Ah, I can hear the song: "Time will never eeennnnd. Careless whispers..."
And finally, the movie was awesome for all the slick black hair! No offense to blonds, but I love the darker shade for hair. Yet, for some reason, I want to dye my hair blond. Ay caramba! Did I say finally? I also want to mention that beautiful and well trained black beauty of a horse in the movie. What a way to steal the laughs! He really pulled off some comedy stunts in the movie! Love him! Now I REALLY want to gallop on a horse! That will go on my to-do list.

It's 3 in the morning so that above list is probably incomplete. My comment from this is, I have not been bored for a very very long time. My mom said I haven't been bored since I got my first computer. I wonder how right that is, but I believe her. I don't get bored and I don't understand how others can get bored. Ok, I understand. I understand it as they get bored because all of the things they can think of to do is either not possible, uncomfortable, or it is work. They aren't interested in them enough to spend any energy on it so they're bored. If that's wrong, I wouldn't mind hearing another explanation.
