September 30 is quickly approaching. Trailer has been released. Spoilers are starting to appear. To quote Willie Wonka (the original) "The suspense is terrible... I hope it lasts!"
So here is our chance to talk about whatever we want! I'll start. How much do you love Adam Baldwin in this? Jayne is such an awesome character. You never know what he's going to do!
Next!

I think I know how the geeks felt......
I've recently been feeling like I'm in a rut. Not that my life is bad. I just want to mix it up a bit, ya know? So I'm using my friends' impending wedding which I am in as an excuse to shake things up a bit. I've been on a strict regime of diet and exercise. And today I went to "do something bold" with my hair. I used those exact words with my stylist. Be careful what you wish for!
I'm generally pretty conservative. Nothing too wild. I have naturally curly hair that pulls red, so I do color and occasionally highlight, but nothing dramatic. A year ago I chopped it off. It's low maintenance hair. Wash, condition, add some product, scrunch and go. Well today, I gave Jayme control over the hair. Four and a half hours later and WOW!!!! It's dark brown with bright blonde highlights. She changed the cut and straightened it. It's doing this flippy thing in the back I'll never be able to duplicate.
I feel like I have someone else's hair. And the looks people are giving me......SCARY! They nicely add "It's different. We just have to get used to it. But it's great." Don't know if I believe them. It's wigging me out.
But I highly recommend the experience. Change is good :)

My favorite story
I live in Madison which is just a few miles from Lodi.....the birth place of international SUPERSTAR Tom Wopat. So from time to time, he comes into town on a visit. A few years ago, a friend of mine and I were at a local club for a show. We were in a mood that night, so we put on our cutest, shortest outfits complete with high heeled strappy sandals. At that time, we had perfected what we lovingly called the "power strut", a walk designed to intimidate anyone in a 500 yard radius. Attitude plus. Well, about halfway through the first set, we wandered into the main bar area to powder our noses, when who do we spy playing pool? Of course.....Tom Wopat!
My friend turned sheet white. She confessed that she'd had a giant crush on him since Dukes of Hazzard. I tried reminding her that he was quite a bit older now, but she insisted on meeting him. I had no doubt that she'd accomplish her goal. I could not have been more wrong.
There was a Brewer's game on TVs all around the bar including the set right above Tom's head. My friend fixed her make-up, checked her outfit and boldly took off towards her target. The "power strut" was perfect! Confident, sexy.....powerful. She stopped about 6 inches from Tom and that's where it all fell apart. Apparently she had not put any thought into what to say. She looked at Tom, looked at the TV and blurted out at the top of her lungs....."WHAT'S THE SCORE???" Tom seemed a bit shocked at first, but composed himself enough to respond "Brewer's up by 2." She promptly turned and ran into the bathroom, leaving me there laughing hysterically.
When I calmed down a bit, I managed to politely walk over, introduce myself, apologize profusely and acquire the autograph she had so desperately wanted.
Still chuckle when I hear....."What's the score?"

Day One
So.......
This is my very first post. Chances are good no one but me and a few friends will ever read it but, I'm doing it anyway. Recently I've been posting comments for the first time on someone else's blog. While fun, I realized that I want to decide the topic for a while. I have many thoughts in my head that need to get out.
Take for instance the public hearing I attended this morning. It's always fun to listen to the ignorant. If you're going to stand up in public and make factual statements......you should check your sources first. I was pretty sure "Freedom of Choice" was not in the Bill of Rights and the gentleman making the reference clearly had not read the document itself. Free will is in the Bible, but I'm pretty sure he hadn't read that either. My guess is he's thinking about the new Wendy's value menu. But I checked it out anyway. Nope, not there. Too bad it was public comment and not debate. Maybe that course I took in Constitional Law would have finally have shown to be useful in daily life.
To date, I have not utilized much from that class. Which is certainly dissappointing since it was my favorite class ever. We learned all the different ways one could escape prosecution for running over a baby, provided that baby happened to be crawling along a one lane road on a cliff. Drove around Colorado Springs once......no babies.
Anyway.....I'll try my darndest not to get up on my soapbox too often. But those of you that know me personally can rest assured that it will happen. Stay tuned for rants on traffic, whatever shows I happen to be watching, personal epiphanies and whatever else crosses my mind. And comment to your hearts content.
First up for comment, anyone see "The Girl in the Cafe"? Thoughts?

I can't believe I'm posting this
Okay, at this point in time they were talking about two of my closest friends who I have ABSOLUTELY no interest in. And it was graphic!!!!! That plus Nikki is blowing bubbles on my head. One thing I'm thrilled about is that while I still don't look skinny, in comparison to a picture from a week earlier, I look awesome! I have to keep this up. I fit in my old shorts now!!!!!
