Bored. Got plenty of things I *should* do but I'm playing with the idea of seeing a dumb movie. Although Jennifer Lopez pains me beyond belief, I want to see Jane Fonda since I've never seen her on the big screen. I just finished reading her autobiography and I've gained an admiration for her, plus a feeling of empathy stemming from common experiences as women. I don't think I've seen any of her movies except for 9 to 5 when it came on T.V. years ago. Not sure why I even saw that one; my dad must have been out of the house. He's banned any viewing of Jane Fonda movies because he hates her guts. Well he's an asshole and he hates any strong woman. He also hates Hilary Clinton and Oprah.
Yeah, I've decided that the next time Mike and I are face-to-face, we're going to end it officially. I'm not going to offer him any farewell sex either, in the interest of protecting myself. I don't want to end up feeling used (I've had more than my share of being used by 20-year-olds and I prefer to leave that well in the past). Tail can be had anywhere and I'm sure Mike won't have any trouble in that regard. He already knows it's over anyway, I could hear a touch of indifference in his voice.
I had a dream last night that Joe, the UPS guy, enveloped me in a big, comforting hug. Joe's very tall with glasses and a nice smile, and he's got a teddy-bear belly. It was one of those things I remembered during the day and I had to contemplate for a second whether or not it really happened.

Just came back from seeing Monster-in-Law. I really enjoyed it, surprisingly. It's true that "J-Lo" can't act her way out of a paper bag, despite her false eyelashes and nappy extensions. And the guy was just a token role. But Jane Fonda as Viola, and her assistant, sorry, I can't remember the actress' name, but they were priceless. There were some real guffaws, not something I experience much anymore. I hope to see more of Jane Fonda, but I think the only thing Lopez did well was fall off the couch. The ending of the movie was pat and predictable but hell, they had to wrap it up after 110 minutes. Good show.
By the way, Mike's a staunch Republican. I could see if I get a rise out of him by mentioning Jane Fonda, but he's probably too young. ;o)
