movielust

Hey ho, it's me again. Yes, it's been a while and yes it seems like my posts are getting more & more infrequent. While it's so easy to blame the drugs, and yes, they do cause me to be quite distracted, I only have myself to blame. I haven't put the effort into doing this. Maybe it’s because I don't have much to say...at least not yet...I don't know how much I want to reveal what's going on right now. I'm becoming paranoid. What if the wrong person reads this and it comes to backfire on me? That's the risk/irony of having a blog. You want others to read your plight yet at the same time want to stay somewhat anonymous....good luck :)

I recently became a trial member of one of those online movie rental deals, where you get your movie DVD selections mailed to you. I initially envisioned myself renting a zillion chick flicks to watch whilst recuperating from some medical procedures. Well a few weeks ago, I did just that. I rented some of my favorites including Muriels Wedding. I was so enthusiastic of these movies that I wanted to share them with my husband (besides, he still owed me for making me see Star Wars last summer). Well after lots of prodding, he finally agreed to see them. Poor guy. He was bored out of his mind, and to tell you the truth, I wasn't much more thrilled than he was. I realized that the movies I loved when I was younger, before I got married, were movies that were not based in reality. I used to worship Muriel's Wedding, about an ugly-duckling-turned Australian-swan. It was something for me to aspire to! But now that I am married and in a very satisfying real relationship, Muriel's life doesn't sound so appealing.

Maybe I'll just rent musicals from now on.......
