I Loved It!

How did it take me this long to watch Batman Begins?

I did finally see it tonight, and wow. I must say, quite impressive. They managed to make the movie fly by. And only the car chase scene seemed to take up too much time. (Fun with the batmobile, I presume?)

Yes, I love comic book movies. No, I don't really read comic books. But, I did feel this fleshed out so many relationships in the Batman world. And Batman has always been my favorite super hero. Think about it: he's the only super hero without "super" powers. He's merely rich... Oh, and smart. That's his power, being able to buy the super cool gadgets and knowing how to use them.

And the female lead was a strong lead! Yea for the writers! I mean she was the one who knew what she wanted and knew that it wasn't time to have it. Thank you for finally making a female lead of substance!

Anyway, happy happy goes the movie world tonight. Always enjoyable when a good movie puts you to bed.

My New Addiction

Tonight, I'm going salsa dancing again. All of my recent clothes purchases have revolved around salsa dancing. New dresses, new shoes, new sweaters. I need a new skirt. A black one. So I can wear lots of other shirts I have. I even practiced last night -- by myself.

I want to get so much better. I think Dancing with the Stars Dance-Off inspired me, I guess. After tonight, I will have gone every week since school started. That's more than I can say about other things this school year.

SALSA!

My New Hair Cut

I've decided I hate my new hair cut. I think it's because it's shorter than I really wanted it. Well, at least my hair grows quickly. It should be back to a length I like in a month or two.

And I know other people aren't too impressed with it either. You know how when people really don't like something, they don't even mention that you got anything done? There are quite a few people who somehow managed to not notice that I cut off about 3 inches of my long hair into a very short almost page-boy cut. Did they really not notice it, or do they want to avoid saying anything and having to lie about liking it? I think it's the latter.

My New Favorite Drink

Oh, and I’m in love with martinis.  Not the girly fruity ones.  Just some gin and vermouth.  Oh, and a few olives and their juice.  HEAVEN.

Why Do Guys Do This?

Going out with a girl friend tonight, I didn't really have it on my agenda to try and meet anyone. But when a guy walks by not once, but twice, and gives the eyebrows raised smile and nod, why would that be all that is exchanged? If he has the confidence to do this, why wouldn't he have the confidence to at least walk up to the table? Especially when I actually smile back?

But no, the two creepy car salesmen approach the table. Once each. Once too many time each. Didn't we show we weren't interested the first time you approached the table?

What Are You Doing?

Hurricane Katrina is a bitch. She's ruined my home state. What am I doing about it?

Organizing relief drives.

Asking my friends to contribute.

Asking local merchants to donate.

Maybe starting a coin drive.

What are you going to do?

I know one thing someone isn't going to do: President Bush won't set his pristine self on the muddied land of Louisiana. He's going to get by with flying low over the city. Asshole.
