No time for a big (full) 'review' of the film. But we did see it at the noon showing today -- and will probably go and see it again tomorrow, too. (smile)

The best part?

Slash heaven.I'm serious. It's the slashiest movie I've ever seen that didn't feature an out-and-out gay couple ( Read more... )

I'm hating this illness (condition, what-have-you) of mine.

First, let me say that one of the few lifelong abilities I've had is that of amazingly good balance.

No, that doesn't mean I'm not clumsy as hell, because I am -- always have been. (Marilyn mistressmarilyn has this theory that some of my being such a klutz comes from my being left-handed. But whatever ( Read more... )

On a less-happy-note, I (finally) went to the doctor yesterday. No, I'm not looking for sympathy. (Pats on the back or hand-holding are not required here!) Just a report ( Read more... )

But we were talking about this and June told me that Dorothy (her mom ( Read more... )

I just got back from my neighbor's house. June's hubby had asked me to 'babysit' with Dorothy while he ran an errand...

Dorothy is June's delightful mother! She's 89 (no, I'm not kidding) and has always been so amazingly strong and vibrant.

But she's got terminal cancer and is lying in the guest room bed dying now.It made me feel good to do ( Read more... )

My sister Marilyn mistressmarilyn and I live in a state that has mail-in ballots for every election. We both voted against that, as we liked the experience of going to the polling place and casting our vote. There was a sense of community and of the sacred right of the voter involved... I'll cherish those memories as long as I live ( Read more... )
