Hi all.
I am going to Atown tonight and while I am all jacked up on super sugar and booze I just want to say hello. Good news, I am writing a story about a Racoon with a difficult past. I hope you will all have a chance to read it soon. I will post it when it is finished.
I am also working on a rug. Yes a rug. I will post pictures soon of my progress. I am documenting the entire effort. Oh, and, I am still biding my time until I move out. I am trying to be smart about the money. Save save save. Yeah, so know I am going to spend money on booze. Peace out.

This isn't the first time...
I am feeling that good old sense of wanderlust. I get it every six months or so. The feeling that I want to move away, start a new life, the feeling that everything about me is boring and I want it to be new. I want a new job, a new place to live, a new look. I want to go where no one knows me and be who I want to be without judgement or repremand for changing in any way.
Don't get me wrong, the people around me are loving and supportive. It is that feeling of waiting for life to begin. This is all very cliche and I will probably regret writing it and possibly take down the post. After all it is very whiny and boring this talk about "wishing". The grass is always greener as they say.
I have mostly been using this so far to post pictures or funny stories, I don't really think of it as a blog. I mean, not in the journal, pour my heart out on the webpage kind of way. I don't have much interest in those, I mean, the truth is how much do you really want other people in your head? It is a very vunerable thing to do.
Here I go talking myself out of this. I am going to just hit post. But not before spell checking. I have three misspelled words after all.

The first set at least...
Here is the first set of Chicago trip pictures. Trust me...there will be plenty more. These are the ones Jenny took. For those of you who don't know, I went with Jennie and Tiffiny, both of whom are photographers. So basically, I didn't even bother. Enjoy! Oh, btw...There are 4 pages, I don't know why the photos aren't automatically going to the next page. So make sure you click the little numbers to see them all!

Fellow blogger
I stumbled on the best blog last night (yes, I can say better than mine because there is no focus to mine much to my chagrin). You should all read it because it is AWESOME. I am not plugging this guy for any reason other than I really think this is funny. I don't even know him.

STARDUST review
So, I am making up for lost time....
I went to see Stardust which, I had pretty high hopes for...I mean come on, I named a friend after it. You don't just rename people unless you feel good about it.
From the start of the movie I felt like I was watching something I had already seen, I would even go so far as say it felt almost like watching Perfume: The Story of a Murderer...at first. But then the film became it's own. I enjoyed it. I forgot how much I enjoyed the writing of Neil Gaiman and proceeded to go directly to Amazon today and purchase several of his books that I had not read.
It was refreshing to see Claire Danes again in a large part and she even did a relatively convincing accent, unlike Michelle Pfeiffer whose accent was embarrassing. Robert Di Nero was funny but over the top and Ricky Gervais was...well..Ricky Gervais. It took me a while to warm up to Charlie Cox as Tristran (or Tristan in the film...probably as not to get on ignorant American's nerves..."Why they sayin' that name there wrong?") But by the end of the film I couldn't picture anyone doing it better. There was also a surprising amount of medium to big names scattered randomly in smaller parts throughout the film that you don't really even realize are there until you, well, go to the IMDB page to see who the hell that kid was that played Tristan. But also amongst the cast is Ian McKellen (narrator), Sienna Miller (Victoria), and Rupert Everett (Secondus) and a couple of people you will recognize but never remember their names.
Warning, this is a two hour long movie and if you get a soda...don't drink it all because you WILL have to use the restroom before the end, especially since there is a place you think will be the end but it won't be. Don't be tricked into thinking you are about to experience bladder relief just to be laughed at. Trickery I say.
