"Is that you, Clarice?"
And it was good.
It wasn't AS good as the first one, but good nonetheless. Besides, I have to take issue with the sexualization of Clarice Starling in Hannibla. I liked the subtlety of their fascination with each other better the first go round.
I bet I'm really glad it ended differently from the book.
In other news, my mom and I are going on a shopping expedition tomorrow. It's been a while since my mom and I have hung out (or shopped for that matter). I can't begin to tell you how excited I am.
I have money to spend and have lost five or so pounds--so I'm gonna see if I can wrestle my ass into a pair of size 8 jeans. I'll report back my findings. chickens for all!
At Heifer Project International individuals and groups can order livestock for families in developing nations. The flocks of chickens I bought (two in the name of my mom and my sister), for instance, will produce up to 200 eggs per year providing protein and sustainance for a family and their community. Extra eggs and chicks can be sold to pay for education, clothing and medicine.
I feel good about my purchase, even if my skeptic mother is afraid that someone will horde the money or the chicks.
Oh yeah, and a flock of chicks is only $20. (There are also water buffalo, heifers, sheep, goats, even non-stinging bees available as well).
Be cool like me, send a farm animal in the name of someone you are glad has enough food to eat everyday. hit the return button
Things that have happened since we last met:
-My friend Willie won $1000 in a goldfish eating contest. He downed 240 live fish*--beating out his nearest competitor by over 100 squirmy things. Rumor has it the world record is only 300.
*I am unsure if I agree with eating live animals. What do you think?
-I learned I could love a man not only with my heart but with my soul.
-I went to Disneyworld. My dad always promised me Disneyworld. My soulmate gave it to me.
-I discovered that the Betty Page look-alike at school that I always admired for her spunky fashion finds is a bitch.
-My sister got engaged. I'm her maid of honor. I couldn't be more ecstatic for them. I know she is truly happy. And I also knew that bitch would get hitched before me :)
-I have lost weight in a modern medical miracle--no exercise whatsoever.
-I suddenly realized if you are appreciated every day, Valentine's Day is no big whoop. (Although I was showered with more gifts than my heart could ever desire.)
-I fell in love with Bjork way after all the cool kids did.
So that was refreshing. Let's do that again some time, shall we?
