what women want.

The Mel Gibson movie was on TBS earlier (actually I think it's still on) and I forgot how much I enjoyed it. You can even see a young Lisa Edelstein a.k.a Dr. Cuddy in it. I don't know about all women but this woman wants a steaming hot cup of coffee in the morning and she's good to go. PS, see even Mel Gibson wants coffee =D

But guess what I did today. I went out...and got pictures developed! It felt weird, absolutely weird, in this advanced technology era, to go do that. I don't think I've done it since the early '00s, which feels like centuries ago. Normally I put my pictures on-line and delete it off the memory card, unless they're vacation photos or something along those lines. Even then I'd use the digital picture printer that we have at home. But it doesn't belong to me and I didn't want to bother my Oma (the rightful owner) so I went to Rite Aid. They messed it up at first (printer got jammed) so I had to wait an additional 45 minutes. The results were well worth the wait.

...I was just on AOL's home page and saw this story. My mind can't process this...why would you do this to your family? How little of a soul do you have to enable you to decapitate your 5-year-old sister?!

MILTON, Mass. (March 29) -- A man on a rampage fatally stabbed his 17-year-old sister, decapitated his 5-year-old sister in front of a police officer and then headed toward his 9-year-old sister before officers shot him amid what their chief described as "a killing field."

and...

"When I walked up to the first officer (on the scene), I could see the whole story right in his face. This just told me that this was something very bad," Wells said.

Unbelivable. My prayers are with that family.

The Good Son on a Good Day

I passed by a Blockbuster the other day and for some reason, The Good Son came to mind. Being that it came out in 1993 when I was 8 years old, I didn't remember much of the movie, just that I LOVED it. Instead of Netflixing it, I figured I'd go to the Movie Master, also known as Jonathan. Whaddya know, he had it! On VHS no less. So we watched it today and YOW! I forgot how evil Macauley Culkin was. And how cute was Elijah Wood? I'm sure my 8-year-old self swooned over him. I poked around IMDB and found some interesting facts:

- Michael Klesic was originally cast in the role of Henry Evans in 1988. The film was soon later put on hold due to lack of funding. A couple years later Jesse Bradford was cast as Henry Evans because the original child actors had grown to old for their parts. The project was once again put on hold and the same problem happened. Then, was once again re-cast and finally shot and released in 1993.

Jesse Bradford? "Swimfan" Jesse Bradford? Huh.

- Richard (in picture) and Connie are played by Macauley's real life brother and sister.

I want to start rewatching my old favorite movies. Remember The Hand That Rocks The Cradle? Another of my favorites! And who can forget Hocus Pocus? Yeah, that's right. I loved SJP way before the Sex and the City era!

While on Austin Street today, I popped into Banana Republic to get this shirt on sale. It's absolutely gorgeous and I figured I could wear it on Easter...and for John, Jr's Christening...and nights out...in short, I plan on putting it to good use! Not only that but I picked up a pair of trouser jeans that are nothing short of a great fit. Holy cow. Could it be? Am I saying goodbye to the American Eagle era? Subconciously, I don't want to dress like a teenager anymore. Although I'm sure I'll be 80 and still wearing jeans, a plain white tee and converse sneakers :-)

I should be getting as much sleep as I can since I've got a Sociology exam in the morning. But considering I just got home from work, it's time for some Idol courtesy of DVR. That beats sleep by a mile. Though something tells me I won't be saying that when I wake up in the morning...
