So, I saw "King Kong" last night. And I actually liked it. I managed to only go to the bathroom once durring the 3 hours. I was quite proud of myself. The action is pretty gripping. That Naomi Watts, she surprised me. She carries that film and, she does a fantastic job. I wasn't a fan after she did the atrocity "The Ring 2", but she comes through on this one. The love story between her character and the Kong was compelling. Congrats to Andy Serkis, again, for emoting a CGI character and making him sympathic. And Adrian Brody. Why was he in this film? His character was rather pointless. His roll could have been cast by anybody. Jack Black, as usual, is the unsympathetic guy, with a sceme out to make a quick buck. And he's unredeemable at the end, as usual. So, the usual Jack Black then. Aside from that, the giant bugs were gross and distrurbing. And so were the natives. I had flashes of "Cannibal Holocaust" going through my head. Not a good time.
Overall: A must see for the big screen. It really does make it more EPIC.
So, my child is going to go through some serious SUGAR withdrawls, after the holidays or, if I get diagnosed with gestational diabeties. Whichever comes first. I have eaten so much chocolate and/or desert over the last month, that I am reeling from all the sugar coursing through my veins. I'm sure the baby is delighted with all the temporary energy he got. What kid doesn't like sugar? Well, lets hope his pancreas agrees with him. And me too!

The Beginning of a new thing...
Well, this is the beginning of a Blog. My Blog. I guess I just wanted to start writing again. I haven't written anything of note in years. But here and now I resume that task. Afterall, now I have a "little one" a "chosen one" on the way. No he won't be a slayer. Just a special kid with a good heart. Afterall, he will have part of mine. Aww...sigh.
Anyways, I just came home from the mall. I wandered around and didn't find anything of note, so I made myself dehydrated and came home. Now I am sipping some cool water, listening to some Esthero. She's good stuff.
Tomorrow, is New Year's Eve and Lee and I will be going to a small quiet intimate gathering with our friends R & C. I'm looking forward to it. Something relaxing with some good people. And casual. Thank God, I don't have to dress up. It's like covering two asses! Except, the temporary one is now more heavy. I'm being dragged to the ground, front forward by my "ASS"! Go figure! It's a very odd feeling. Anyways, good times ahead.
Yeah, I am only gonna get bigger! Yeah, good times!
Of times ahead, Lee and I will have to get our asses in gear and decorate that baby room. So, we want a Franklin theme in the baby's room. But they don't make baby merchandise in Franklin. So, Lee has decided to take it upon himself to paint a Frankin mural. If, it were anyone else, I would shake my head no. But, I know he will do it justice and he'll do a damn good job.
Another thing of note, there are these cute baby books, by Carl Norac, that I love. "I Love to Cuddle" and "I Love You, So Much" They are about Lola the Hamster and her family and friends. They are cute stories about Lola's self-discovery of her feelings and what matters to her. I bought them 7 years ago for no reason. I was just drawn to them. About a month ago, I thought about them again and wanted to pull them out to read to my unborn child . Yeah, I know, I'm a sap. I could not find them anywhere. They are gone or still in a box. More likely gone. So, I called Lee at work and told him I looked everywhere, and that I was very upset. I was close to tears. Well, metaphoric tears. So, he was sappy too and gave me permission to buy the books again on Amazon. And yesterday they arrived. Ah....I am happy again. And I know, baby boys love to cuddle too!
