Hodge Podge #2

I'll be blogging about a bunch of stuff.

Can't believe I'm turning 36 in a couple of days. I'm not depressed, but it's an odd feeling...

I've got the place to myself right now, which is bliss.

My sis may be planning some type of surprise. I'm wary.

I made an embarassing little blunder yesterday. I tweeted and found that I don't have 2 followers, I'm back to one. But, they're different people each time. It's like they see I don't tweet that much, they get bored and they leave. As for why I don't have followers here, I'm assuming it's because there are to many people out there basically saying the same thing that I am. That and I have no pics up yet.

Everybody that works with me knows that I am a Johnny Depp fan. They asked me if I was going to see his new film. I responded that I didn't know. I'm not really into gangster pictures. I'm more interested in Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland that and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. That's my kind of stuff. I also loved how Johnny Depp handled whoever that was that asked him if he'd play Michael Jackson in a movie (Obviously they haven't seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Yeah, I know he didn't base his performance on Michael Jackson, but still how can you not see the similarities?)

I think The Wizard of Oz is on tonight. You know what would be cool? If they'd show The Wiz right after it.

I'm trying to download the song "Scream" onto my phone for a ringtone (That's one of my favorite Michael Jackson songs.), but I can't figure out how to click on the link. I'm going to see if I can't get my sister to help me.


On Demand has some Michael Jackson videos, but most of them are the ones they always play when Michael Jackson is being focused on.

So many memories are flooding back to me that I'd forgotten... I remembered that my mother had a Motown 45 that had the Jackson 5 singing "Get it Together" on one side and I think the B-side was a song called "Touch". (Or maybe it's the other way around.)

If I could just find it this weekend, and there's no water damage...I'll be ecstatic. The sad thing is, I've got nothing to play it on. The only record player is over at my dad's apartment. Maybe I'll buy myself one at some point, just for nostalgia's sake...

Are all women from Venus?

Today, I was sitting in the hair salon and they had Sex and the City on. I have never watched an episode of that show all the way through. I don't know why, but it just never caught on like that with me.

I went into Dress Barn looking for a black camisole top and wound up coming out with a leopard print dress. It won't break the bank or anything, but once I saw it on me in the fitting room, I just couldn't imagine leaving it in the store. (I'm trying to make it my last impulse buy for a while though, because I'm trying to save $3,000 by October, so that I can move without too many headaches. )

My sister and I were chatting this morning, and I forgot how it came up, but she was telling me that she didn't enjoy Kill Bill. I on the other hand loved it. I also got a kick out of the second half of DeathProof . My sister explained that she didn't mind violence that made sense in a movie, her problem was with senseless violence, which I can understand, because neither of us likes the Saw series. She also went on to say, that she doesn not hate all Tarantino films, because she did like Pulp Fiction. I forgot to ask her if she had seen Jackie Brown. (Pam Grier was in that. I've seen some of her blaxploitation films, but not all. I've seen Coffy, Foxy Brown, and there was another film, one where she played a private detective or a photographer, I'm wracking my brain, but I can't remember what the name of it was. I've also seen Scream, Blacula, Scream. The storyline could have been better. I liked the first Blacula way more. Ahem, getting back on track...I haven't seen Black Mama, White Mama, but I'd like to. To truly appreciate it, I'd probably have to watch the original The Defiant Ones right before it.
