well-done b-movie

Last night while doing homemaker chores I watched 1994's Reform School Girl on late-night cable. It was a fine example of the genre, containing all the necessary elements (if a little more clean than the usual, due to its made-for-tv nature--no broom rape): bad boy leading good girl astray, lecherous adults in authority, shower scenes, schoolgirl uniforms, food fight, dancing with a mop, slow-motion running, the isolation cell, young lesbian love, rivalry between prep school girls and convicts. And it had the added value of an uplifting ending, cool 50s cars, and Matt LeBlanc playing bad boy Vince (so badly it seemed that Joey was playing the part). Loved it!!

here are the photos from my road trip to Graceland, with my husband for our 5th anniversary:

There's no point chasing after answers to life's important questions. They all have fickle, highly whimsical minds of their own. Nevertheless. If you're patient, if you don't rush them, when they're ready, they'll smash into you. And don't be surprised if afterward you're speechless and there are cartoon tweety birds chirping around your head.

unhappy accidents

Revolution is slow burning, occuring only after decades of oppression and poverty, but the exact hour of its unleashing is often a moment of fateful mishap.

permanently pursed lips

The enduring pursed lip, a trait associated exclusively with the female educator, is a sign of erratic academic anger.

too much life

There's just too much going on in my head lately to keep up with this thing... as I suspected would happen.

If you love me enough to keep checking for new material here, here's something to keep you occupied; my del.icio.us tags:

They're work-related, but of course I think they're interesting.
