most mornings getting up is my enemy. and my enemy wins every friggen day. i resist though. which is why three mornings in a row i've had less than ten minutes to get on all my clothes for the day (which usually takes minimum two attempts anyway due to me being indecisive), pack my bag, make school lunch and find a matching headband or ribbon.

somethings gotta give, and recently that has meant buying my lunch and forgetting to put stuff in my bag.

the ribbon is a non negotiable.

part of why i am so late in the morning is i'm afraid of ghosts these days. thanks film festival! i saw the orphanage. it was horrible. i hated every moment of it. i can't write about it because it is night time and my heart is racing just thinking about thinking about it. gross. anyway it was probably well done. who knows, i watched it through gaps in my fingers. 0/10.

in contrast i completely relished the order of myths. about mardi gras in mobile alabama. with its pomp, ceremony and racism. it was both loving and shocking and made me wish that i had a box of moon pies to eat. due to the numerous poems from mobile, alabama's school chidlren about the wonders of moon pies and how they were like pillows of marshmallow and pools of chocolate fudge sauce. sadly, after extensive internet research, i discover they are basically mallowpuffs. btw when you google mallowpuff and griffins one of the top few sites you come across is this. anyway, order of myths 8.5/10.

i have seen two other movies recently too, thanks to cpw's internet smarts. the first is charlie bartlett, where i fell in love with a character actor in a supporting role, playing the thug. tyler hilton. hopefully not of the hotel hiltons. anyway the movie was more endearing than the trailer would have you believe. 8/10.

and last night i saw teeth. DISTURB. seriously. poster child for chastity discovers she has vagina dentata. hilarity ensues. well, more like terror and severed penises. all tastefully done of course. 8.5/10. it got minus point five for having the freaky guy from nip tuck in it. this is the second time i've seen him in a role that required his penis being cut up. hmm...
