Ooh, I like the new interface...

Anyway, what's this I hear on the radio today, Amy Lee's angelic voice belting something new?!?!?!

I can't stop thinking about it, but I have no idea what it is!!!

Who knows what it's called?

Oh, and Brigit? Don't bother with Reign of Fire. Really... He was good, but the movie wasn't.

 

Try Equilibrium, American Psycho, Velvet Goldmine...anything else.

As for Christian Bale, his best two performances as of yet hav ebeen Equilibrium and American Psycho.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Well, doesn't that just knock me on my ass.

Prime example of the kind of departure Begins is from previous Dark Knight ventures.

Oh, by the way, my Terrible Two and I were in the library the other day, and, in his runnings around trying to stay away from me and make as much noise as childly possible, he grabbed The Dark Knight Returns and refused to let it go. He runs to the counter (seeing the computers on the counter, he thinks this is some kind of store, but he's got the right idea), plops it up there, and says, "Check out? Check out, Mama!" Damned if the kid didn't hold it all the way home, climb into the recliner when we got there, and sit there, turning the pages, and shouting, "Mama! Batman! Batman!" at every page. Was very careful with it, too...he seems to know to respect books. Tha's my boy!

...this, however, from the kid who ripped the pages of his (beloved Spiderman) coloring book to shreds...

It's so cute to hear a toddler try to say "Ombre Araña." (giggle)

But I digress. Back to Batman, before .

No kiddin', that's who I thought it was when I first saw that pic. Also a favorite of mine, so it got my hopes all up and stuff...

All excellent points on Constantine.

Yeah--Rachel Weisz--DEFINITELY one o' my go-gay girls...

As for Batman Begins:

Movie Homepage

Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Katie Holmes--fantastic.

Rutger Hauer--YIPPEEEEEEE!!!

Liam Neeson... ...Christian Bale...

This is gonna be my favorite Christian Bale flick since Little Women. (giggle) But, really, A Midsummer Night's Dream was enchanting, and I still haven't seen Reign of Fire...

:shoot: :shoot: :shoot: :D

I know, but--but--IT'S ON MY LIST!!!

OOH!!! (squeals with delight)

I get to be the first to worship Constantine Hondo's-style!

Not much time for now, though...

WARNING--MILD TO MODERATE SPOILERS

Saw it late last night...fan-fuckin'-tastic movie, more on that later, but even after two-and-a-half hours of revelry, I still can't see Reeves as Hellblazer. I keep wanting to see someone more rugged, maybe with the square-chinned, rugged look of Bruce Campbell (but not Campbell himself, 'cause he's too easily identified with Evil Dead-style black comedy.

And oh, my Goddess, the scene where he's headed for Heaven... LMFAO along with the whole theater!!!

Gavin Rossdale gave a stupendous performance, I thought, and their choice of Tilda Swinton for Gabriel was superb--very aristocratic. Loved the fact that "his" wings were black...good foreshadowing.

I promise I'm gonna get some time to delve a little more deeply into this and Phantom, maybe Monday...

Damn, people, don't you know a Jewel single when you see it?!

Oh, well, never mind that it didn't get much airplay and more than likely no one but me knows the words...

do you realize? by the flaming lips

Oooh...bittersweet song and oh-so-true...

This one's got special meaning...my last name is Welsh for, of all things, "like a bird," so, along with the Nelly Furtado song of that name, this one gets me all wistful and pensive-like...

There's a little bird somebody sent

Down to the earth to live on the wind

Blowing on the wind

And she sleeps on the wind

This little bird somebody sent

Light and fragile and feathered sky blue

Thin and graceful

The sun shinin' through

She flies so high up in the sky

Way out of reach of human eyes

Light and fragile and feathered sky blue

Thin and graceful

The sun shinin' through

She flies so high up in the sky

Way out of reach of human eyes

Light and fragile, she's feathered sky blue

Thin and graceful

The sun shinin' through

And the only time that she touches ground

Is when that little bird, little bird

Is when that little bird, little bird

Is when that little bird

Dies

Aww, shucks. I can't believe no one even cheated on that one! lol

So I Fall Again --Phantom Planet, way back in the day

Sun sets 'cross the ocean

Thousand miles from anywhere

My pocketbook and my heart both just got stolen

And that sun act like she don't even care

Wind blows cold and you reach the top

Feels like someone's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe

I got a plastic Jesus, a cordless telephone for every corner of my room

Got everybody but you tellin' me what to do

...

There's everybody but me to answer my prayers

'Til I saw an angel in a bathroom

She said she saw no one worth saving anywhere

Blind man on the corner said "It's simple

"Like flippin' a coin:

"Don't matter what side it lands on if it's someone else's dime"

...

I take a trip I catch a train I catch a plane

I got a ticket in my hand

And a fat man takes my money

And like cattle we all stand...

Someone's got her thong in a twist today.

I can't say if this feeling coming over me is real

But I know it's something you can't steal

So I'll buy another problem to approach

Sell a virgin lie that can't be touched

So I fall again

So I fall again

So I'll break through this rotten piece of wood again

I can't say if this unfriendly* subject should be dropped

But I know it's something you can't stop

So I'll buy another pickup line and sigh

And pretend that everything is all right

So I fall again

So I fall again

So I'll break through this rotten piece of wood again

So I'll break through this rotten piece of wood

So I'll break through this rotten piece of wood

So I'll break through this rotten piece of wood again

So I fall again

So I fall again

So I'll break through this rotten piece of wood again

*orig. here fucking

I like the alternate version better; unfriendly just seems to flow better.

Oh, wow, Steve McQueen, Sheryl Crow. That's such a fun song!

Okay, I know that reads pretty corny (cornily? lol), but I swear it only sounded cute when I said it out loud...

I would like to visit you for a while

Get away and out of this city

Maybe I shouldn't have called, but someone had to be the first to break

We could go sit on your back porch, relax, talk about anything

It don't matter

I'll be courageous if you can pretend that you've forgiven me

'Cause I don't know you anymore

I don't recognize this place

The picture frames have changed, and so has your name

We don't talk much anymore

We keep running from the pain

But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

Springtime in the city

Always such relief from the winter freeze

The snow was more lonely than cold if you know what I mean

Everyone's got an agenda, don't stop

Keep that chin up, you'll be all right

Can you believe what a year it's been

Are you still the same?

Has your opinion changed?

'Cause I don't know you anymore

I don't recognize this place

The picture frames have changed, and so has your name

We don't talk much anymore

We keep running from these sentences

But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

I know I let you down again and again

I know I never really treated you right

I've paid the price

I'm still paying for it every day

So maybe I shouldn't have called

Was it too soon to tell

Oh, what the hell

It doesn't really matter

How do you redefine something that never really had a name?

Has your opinion changed?

'Cause I don't know you anymore

I don't recognize this place

The picture frames have changed, and so has your name

We don't talk much anymore

We keep running from the pain

But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

I see your face

I see your face

Sorry Brigit, didn't see your post. Thanks.

'Welcome.

Back to you

It always comes around

Back to you

I tried to forget you

I tried to stay away

But it's too late

Over you

I'm never over

Over you

Something about you

It's just the way you move

The way you move me

I'm so good at forgetting

And I quit every game I play

But forgive me, love

I can't turn and walk away

Back to you

It always comes around

Back to you

I walk with your shadow

I'm sleeping in my bed

With your silhouette

Should have smiled in that picture

If it's the last that I'll see of you

It's the least that you

Could not do

Leave the light on

I'll never give up on you

Leave the light on

For me, too

For me, too

For me, too

Back to me

I know that it comes

Back to me

Doesn't it scare you

Your will is not as strong

As it used to be

I forget: is it cheating to ask someone for help (not the Internet)? A real person? Like a teenage sister who'd know these things?

nobody posted to any of mine...too obscure? or a sign of repugnance?!

DUH--

I just did...

...Gee, I guess I was right when I thought that my name was "nobody"...

I called my momma, she was out for a walk

Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't want to talk

So I picked up the paper, it was more bad news

My heart's being broken and people being used

Jewel, "You Were Meant for Me"

I don't think anyone actually answered that one...

Come on, Alita, hurry up and post so I can!

Suppose I said

I am on my best behavior

And there are times

I lose my worried mind

Would you want me when I'm not myself?

Wait it out while I am someone else?

Suppose I said

Colors change for no good reason

And words will go

From poetry to prose

Would you want me when I'm not myself?

Wait it out while I am someone else?

And I, in time, will come around

I always do for you

Suppose I said

You're my saving grace?

Would you want me when I'm not myself?

Wait it out while I am someone else?

This is always a bad season. When I was a kid, it was my favorite (next to Halloween), what with the decorating and cooking and my birthday and all, but since...well, since my first winter in high school, I've just been more and more disappointed each year. Even when there were some good things going on, there were more bad things...and this year, as in previous ones, someone's playing catch-and-release with my heart...and if there were a way out--to get over him--I'd leap at the chance...

Here comes the cold

Break out the winter clothes

And find a love to call your own

You--enter you

Your cheeks a shade of pink

And the rest of you in powder blue

Who knows what will be

But I'll make you this guarantee

No way November will see our goodbye

When it comes to December it's obvious why

No one wants to be alone at Christmas time

In the dark, on the phone

You tell me the names of your brothers

And your favorite colors

I'm learning you

And when it snows again

We'll take a walk outside

And search the sky

Like children do

And I'll say to you

No way November will see our goodbye

When it comes to December it's obvious why

No one wants to be alone at Christmas time

And come January we're frozen inside

Making new resolutions a hundred times

February, won't you be my valentine?

And we'll both be safe 'til St. Patrick's Day

We should take a ride tonight around the town and look around at all the beautiful houses

Something in the way that blue lights on a black night can make you feel more

Everybody, it seems to me, just wants to be

Just like you and me

No one wants to be alone at Christmas time

And come January we're frozen inside

Making new resolutions a hundred times

February, won't you be my valentine?

And if our always is all that we gave

And we someday take that away

I'll be all right if it was just 'til St. Patrick's Day

Little Lotte thought of everything and nothing

Her father promised her that he would send her the Angel of Music

Her father promised her

Her father promised her

You were once my one companion

You were all that mattered

You were once a friend and father

Then my world was shattered

Wishing you were somehow here again

Wishing you were somehow near

Some times it seemed if I just dreamed

Somehow you would be here

Wishing I could hear your voice again

Knowing that I never would

Dreaming of you won't help me to do

All that you dreamed I could

Passing bells and sculpted angels

Cold and monumental

Seem for you the wrong companions

You were warm and gentle...

...Too many years fighting back tears

Why can't the past just die

Wishing you were somehow here again

Knowing we must say goodbye

Try to forgive, teach me to live

Give me the strength to try

No more memories, no more silent tears

No more gazing across the wasted years

Help me say goodbye

Help me say goodbye

Morning show's giving away Fleetwood Mac tickets... Called in 'round seven-thirty this morning and was caller two (needed to be ten), called back twice, and they must've gotten someone already 'cause it was busy both times...trying again within the next fifteen minutes...

I'm pathetic.

Breakfast--my one beautiful treat mornings at work--and I just ruined it.

Dipped my banana into my strawberry yogurt--strawberries 'n' bananas, now a classic flavor, ya know?--and realized that it just...didn't look right...
