It's freakin snowing again..
Well I'm going to attempt to quote this properly "The best laid schemes o' mice and men"-Robert Burns.
The day has unfortunately taken unexpected turns, but not negatively, just unexpected. My interview was canceled due to clinic's request. They have limited office activity to emergency only because of the weather. Apparently at the moment we are in an "eye" of storm, it's only snowing now, But it going to be freezing rain on top of snow tonight which means everything will be a sheet of ice. Last year I had slipped on a curb and fell forward and busted my chin open, it hurt but I got up and walked off like I completely intended to do that. Pride, it's a pain in the ass personality trait, but it stays crunchy in milk.
So weird thing happen as I'm walking back to the house after running some errands, see in tight ball in corner of house and front steps a cat, and good lord I really thought the thing was dead. It wasn't but it will be if it stays there. I walked into house, and casually go into kitchen, begin breakfast, and already have considered that a.) I don't want another cat, b.) I do not even like cats c.) I just don't want to get "involved" d.) Dammit, looks like I've got to get the cat, I can't to my disgust walk away. So I sent D out to get cat. Cat is a mess, beautiful markings, and we believe part Siamese. Same short hair and body of Siamese, but is a pink hued gold, black and white. So enters and immediately climbs to top of drapes, howling, spitting, and being scared cat nutty. We have because of thins decided to name her Ming (pron. Min) but will call her Shem for short.
I just saw that Charleize Theron had won the golden globe for best actress in Monster.
This made me really happy to see that a movie that contained so much substance and the possibilities to rock a lot of comfort zones, had received recognition. God if you have not seen this movie, I highly recommend it. I don't go to the theater to often (am avid dvd watcher though), but have not seen a movie that has moved me so intensely as this one in very long time. It is a true story of Aileen Wornos, who if you live in the states, you might remember she was executed in the state of Florida last year and labeled first female serial killer by the media.
She was a woman who had been broken by all the men in her life, and was at her point. She meets a woman who she ends up falling in love with, and is experiencing through this relationship her first type of love regardless of with man or woman, and becomes desperate to never loose her. She is a prostitute and continues to do so for the benefit of her girlfriend. On a job, she is brutalized and tortured (a very hard scene to watch for many people in theater, again, men and women included) and in self-defense kills this john. She has at this point have snapped and goes on a spree including a cop, and in the end is betrayed by her girlfriend, the only love she has believed in. This movie draws the sympathy to Aileen and absolutely broke my heart in the end. I sat balling like a child watching this woman in court after she has been sentenced to death, justifying what she did, and even knowing socially that a killing spree is not acceptable, but the primitive essence inside that makes you that makes you woman, cannot condone her, and screams “ this is wrong!".
This movie will in probability be missed by most, but it is a rarity that I see something that leaves that much of an impression on me.
I hope that Charleize gets the recognition that she deserves form this. Look at the movie's site to see the job the makeup dept did, they alone for replicating the character almost exactly deserves praise enough.
On that note I will walk away from this post, as it is already long enough, though I have a major inclination that I will be by again, you have been warned.
