up to par and katie bars the kitchen
seismonaut me in/
sit in traffic the big kid wastin time,sittin' still
i'm the sun and you're nocturne
we could gather throw a fit
i,i,i can hear you...
can you hear me?
i'm not feeling quite so eeyorey
today. i swear,watching priscilla queen of the desert two days in a row must have cheered me up!
here's a review of it from amazon since i'm too lazy to compose one:
"Cult Classic" : Priscilla Eats "Wong Foo" for Breakfast !, February 18, 2001
Reviewer: Graham Douglas Lincoln
Terence Stamp, as a Transexual...need I say more? OK...I will: "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" is a wonderful, frollicking (or is it "frocking?") Adventure. Terence Stamp (of "The Hunger") is fabulous as an aging transexual, with bitter views and a sarcastic, biting sense of humor. His fellow(ette) travelers are performers, en route to the show of their lifetime, across the desert land of Australia....bickering and cat-fighting the entire way. Some of the banter is obviously a politically incorrect portrayal of gay men--the lines are often inspired by the worst-case scenario of gay men bickering--yet, I've met a few of those guys, in real life...so, the PC people will need to suspend their sense of appropriateness and enjoy the entertainment. This is NOT just a movie for "gay culture," as some people think. Straight couples enjoy the film and there are many hilarious scenes that couples can appreciate, together. There are some very Dramatic episodes that make the film more than a Comedy and aspire to give you an understanding of the sub-culture and humanity of the characters (despite personal prejudices). Besides, let's put the Anthropological Dissertation aside and get down to the core of the matter.... "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" is a great movie!
Wait'll you see what one Lady likes to do with Ping-Pong Balls ; )

i love this movie! i rented it because i wanted to see more movies with guy pearce in them,and this was quite a find. i think i'm going to buy myself a copy with the amazon g.c. i got from my sister.
i've also been on a woody allen kick. i'm in the middle of 'deconstructing harry' and i rented 'manhattan' and 'love and death'.
alas,my vacation will be over soon.
happily,two of my sisters and i took dad out for father's day last night and a fine time was had by all. one of my sisters stayed here overnight but she was considerate of my ocd quirks and also gave mom some company. then my other sister came back over here today for lunch and to drive her back to the bus stop.i thanked her for doing the driving,but she didn't really mind plus she picked up her new emacs computer that she had delivered here since mom is usually home.
mom asked me what i wanted to do for my birthday tomorrow and i told her again that i just wanted a birthday card from her and to have a quiet day. she then asked me if i wanted to go out to eat and i had to remind her again that she has no money and can't do things like that anymore.
i noticed that while my sisters were here they were much less patient about her speech impediment than i am...i never thought i'd think of myself as patient,but i am compared to them. i guess i can excuse it because they're younger! ha. plus,i swear i'm getting on a psychic wavelength with her and i just know what she's saying whether technically i can understand her or not. i usually repeat what i think she said back to her,though,to make sure.
