Once in a blue moon.

[starlady]

Technically the blue moon was yesterday, but whatever. I have to admit, after seeing "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" again, that I liked it a lot better this time. It made more sense and I was able to accept the fates of the characters much more easily. Except for the one character who gets it in the middle of the film. Unfair! No! Uncool! Deserved better! I stand by, however, by my statement that it's crying out for a fourth movie. And I have to wonder about Lord Cutler Beckett's true motivations, too. But maybe I should ask Amanda what she thinks about that. ^_^ Spike said that perhaps the movie making more sense had something to do with me being completely sober. She might be right. Or not. I should say, I saw the movie Monday night and then we went back to the hotel and had my graduation champagne, and I had that song "Hoist the Colors" stuck in my head for the next few days. I will post the lyrics shortly, because it has a lot to do with my mood. And my feelings about graduation, etc.

So indeed, as if you hadn't guessed, I'm back in Jersey. Trying to unpack all my crap. Wish me luck with that. Next up, the units and Spike are heading to Wildwood, so the bird and I will be watching the house this weekend. This might be painful. Also, I no longer have health insurance. That's the best graduation gift of all! Or not.

Do I sense bitterness towards the bird?!?
Yay temping! Yay you visiting! (One of those is sarcastic and maybe you can figure out which)
I watched Pirates 1 last night in preparation for Pirates 3 on Saturday. I think this was the first time I understood the plot. That really makes me question my intelligence.
Oh and re. men's clothes-hey they're stylish and feminine so what's not to like?

Maybe a little bitterness. Why the hell he likes me so much, I'll never know.

I would definitely rewatch Pirates 2 if you can, a lot of remarks they toss off in 3 are pretty relevant to 2 and vice versa.

Re: visiting--can we go to the Walker? And there's a shoujo exhibition at MCAD i've been wanting to see. but maybe you're manga-ed out. i'm going to book the tickets today or tomorrow.
