proving

Its 11pm on a Saturday night and I’m sitting alone in my apartment. I’ve nothing specific to do tonight and the four people whom I know in this town are unavailable. But its okay. I don’t really feel like doing much tonight anyway. I got off work at 3, fell asleep on the couch watching The Powerpuff Girls Movie, which is a very good movie. When I woke up, I rewound it and watched the parts I missed. I used to own it, but it was stolen and probably sold for drugs. About an hour ago I rode my bike to Blockbuster and turned in The Powerpuff Girls and La Vie En Rose (which was excellent. I think the girl who played Edith Piaf won an Oscar for this, and she deserves it.), and got the first disc of this show called Tin Man, which is a mini-series on the Sci-Fi Channel. Its supposed to be a take on The Wizard Of Oz. Sticking to the original Frank Baum books. And although most shows on The Sci-Fi Channel suck, this one has quality actors like Alan Cummings and Richard Dreyfus, and it has gotten some good press, so I’m going to give it a shot.

Orlando has proven itself to be a completely bike UN-friendly town. And not for the sake of all the bike lanes and such. But for the pricks who drive around here. After moving here, it was less than a week before I was yelled at by a motorist, while doing nothing wrong. And I have been honked at more times than I can count, only in the past 9 months. (sigh) One more reason, I suppose.

I was thinking the other day about how many movies I’ve watched since coming back to Orlando. In the past 3 or 4 weeks I’ve watched: -No Country For Old Men – La Vie En Rose – The Powerpuff Girls Movie – Alien VS Predator: Requiem – Northfork – Walk Hard – Manhattan – A Midsummer Nights Sex Comedy – Nacho Libre – Love And Death – Once – Marathon Man….. and I know there have been some that Courtney has rented which I can not remember. But its been a lot. I seem to get tired a lot easier these days. I know that I have just not yet built up my energy and stamina to the level at which it used to be. And I know that it will just take time to get there again. But I’m getting frustrated. I want to want to leave the house more often. But I spend way too much time on the couch because I am just too tired to do much of anything else.

I changed the ‘appearance’ of my blog today. As I’m sure a lot of my long-time readers have noticed, every year or so I tend to change up my blog. Keeps things interesting. And, frankly, I get bored of one appearance, so I try another.

Oh, and of the above listed movies in my “recently viewed” file, the only one that I would NOT recommend is Alien VS Predator: Requiem. That movie was way too dark. And not in a thematic way. It was just dark, so I couldn’t see a lot of what was going on. And what I could see wasn’t that interesting.
