Forever Empress E
I do. Really. There is television to watch, a good new Laurie R. King book to read, house to clean, stories to write, dogs and cats to pet/feed/clean up after/let outside then back in, message boards to visit, news to read, food in the fridge to put in the microwave for a late night/early morning snack. My favorite is laying in bed staring at the ceiling or the wall and trying to make my mind go blank so I can go to sleep. That is perfect. Thanks to watching "Snakes on a Plane," making my mind go blank leaves it empty for images from that movie to snake in. Damned snakes, slithering all over the place, hissing and biting, boring holes through people's heads as they sit in an airplane seat while Sen. Craig is in the airport john looking for trysts. So, looked up Cassanova, Mary Magadalene, and did some genealogy research on the family. We aren't related to Christ or Casanova. I think I'm relieved. I mean, if I were a descendant of Christ, I'd have to be better person and I'm just not up to it. If I were a descendant of Casanova, I'd have to be a womanizer, among other things. I am the other things but I don't think I could be a successful womanizer. I could be a manizer for a bit. Having to tell some dimwit what to do all the time would get old really quickly. At some point he'd just get on my nerves and I'd have to put him on that plane with the snakes and hope Samuel L. Jackson isn't on the plane. I mean men are more fun when they are being men. I bet Samuel L. Jackson is fun. Get him worked up on a subject and I bet he could bloviate passionately for hours. Get him in a verbal pissing match with O'Reilly - that would be hilarious. Maybe stick Jesse Jackson and Bill Mahr in there to really liven things up. Then the movie "The Queen" was on tonight too. Good movie. Interesting. I remember Diana and Charles wedding, when she died, the funeral. I liked that Tony Blair was supportive of the Queen during that time. England's royalty doesn't mean much to me - just some more pampered people getting lots of press, often nasty but quite often favorable too. They aren't my institution but for many they mean something special. Balmoral is a heck of a place. Looked into that. You can rent a cottage or lodge on the estate and get a tour. That would be cool. Very interesting that for the price all you get is a space heater at night and a self service kitchen. For that price I would want someone at the castle to prepare my meals and at the very least a roaring fireplace to keep me warm at night. Now Narnia is on. Yes, it is a very nice looking movie but the children are hardly likable. I do like the line when the evil witch says to the satyr that the kid turned him in "for sweeties." I absolutely hate it when the lion is killed. Reminds me of the One Tree, White Gold Weilder series of books about the leper who drifts off into his fantasty world for some serious adventures. Also reminds me of that movie "Far From Home" when the dog falls off the log spanning a huge canyon. I can't stand it when the animals die. Kill the man. Kill the woman. Hell, even kill the child. But, don't kill the animals. Unless they are monsters, of course. I prefer monster movies. I know they don't exist so I don't lay awake at night thinking about the damned things. I mean, it would help if when I was working in the backyard the other day I didn't see this huge rat running on the ledge of the roof over the back porch because you know rats and mice attract snakes. The last thing I can stand on this planet is a snake. Snakes are not animals. They are monsters. One of the few living creatures I think I could bring myself to kill. Snakes and chickens. I hate chickens too. They are what is for dinner. I was once bitten by a snake in a hen house. I was gathering eggs and the thing sprung out and bit me in the chest. I was about 4 so all I remember is grabbing hold of it, which is probably why it stayed stuck in my chest, running to the house as fast as my chubby little legs would carry me, and everybody screaming about the damned snake. Well, one could say that snake trolled me but that snake is long dead and I'm not so snake wound up being the one pwned. Narnia is still on. The woman playing the wicked witch was better in the movie Orlando where she started out as a young boy. The Queen told Orlando to never grow old and die and he didn't. He did turn into a woman though and had an affair with Billy Zane when Billy Zane was still super good looking. I mean, if I were a guy and Billy Zane came along when he was super good looking, I'd have turned into a girl too. Well, there goes the alarm. It is time to wake up. Have a good day. I'm going out to the back yard and hunting down any rats or mice that may be back there attracting snakes. It sucks that I have all these freaking cats and not a single one of them is a mouser. Think I'll trade the lot of them in for some vicious mouser cats. I shouldn't be so hard on them. It isn't their fault. I had to quit letting them be outdoor cats because the wolves and coyotes were killing them. Now they are spoiled cats, not worth a dime even combined. Oh well, off to it I am.
