The Life and Times...

My friend adores the Chinese Proverb: May you live in interesting times. In fact, she too has that on her blog. I want to adopt it...We all definitely live in interesting times whether they are fabulous, exhausting or jinxed. No matter what, let us all live like there is "No Day but Today!"

Isn't that some S*#t...

First and foremost, I want to put an aside to this blog...today, I have watch parts of Chasing Liberty and I am now watching First Daughter - I told you all they were like my favorite movies...kinda the same...but you know!

Now, to the point of this post. If you are a normal reader of this blog, you know about Brokeback Mountain and my fascination with it. I have been dying to see it for about forever (and of course, I wasn't 100% sure what it was about until we saw Rent and then it was way obvious). The first release date was in December...then wide release on December 23 and then it was pushed back and pushed back and pushed back. Well, I was getting aggravated and annoyed because it was not coming to Morgantown. One weekend, TJ and I almost traveled to DC to visit Mookie and see the movie. Then the next weekend it was still not in Morgantown. That was about the time that Heath Ledger said that he heard that the movie was banned in Utah (the Mormons) and in West Virginia (because "they just stopped lynching people like 25 years ago). I thought that was kinda a bunch of crap, but still wanted to see the movie and it wouldn't surprise me that some people in our state would be so shallow as to not want it to come into our state.

So, the closest place to see the movie was Pittsburgh. We went last weekend to eat at the Cheesecake Factory and to see Brokeback Mountain with Shannon. We had a great time - the problem was that we waited forever for a table to eat (well worth it by the way) and then had to miss the early show and saw a 9:50 movie. I loved the movie - TJ thought it was boring and I think Shannon liked it too - and was so glad that we did make the trip to see the movie.

Now, the s#*t of it is that that damn movie came out in Morgantown yesterday! ARE YOU KIDDING?!?!?! I mean, the trip to Pittsburgh was really fun and a cool thing for us to do, but that is so my luck! After we see the movie in ANOTHER state, it comes to the theater two seconds from our house! URGH!

That's okay because we had a blast...I have to say the trip was well worth it!!! The 2 hour wait at The Cheesecake Factory was followed by a superb meal (scrumptious food, fun drinks & great company - okay, you too, TJ)! Can't wait to go back! And o'yeah, the movie was good too...Not really what I expected, a very different plot line and it ended with a sad kind of emptiness hanging over it. Kinda weird.
