Women in Black Film Fest

It being all over the television that one should NOT go outside under any circumstances or you could melt, or incinerate because the weather service (who?) has offered up a "heat advisory". So no going outside . . . it's very dangerous, what with the melting and the deadly burning playground slides all over the news. (In my day . . . we burnt our asses on the slides and we liked it because our mother wouldn't let us back in the house.)

I basically have just used all this heat hype as an excuse to not mow the lawn and stay indoors watching movies. I watched "Capote" this morning . . . kind of drawn out to get to their point if you ask me. I watched "Aeon Flux" this afternoon, which was visually appealing and now I have something to say to my hairstylist next week (I want Aeon Flux hair . . . without those stupid tails). I still have Underworld to watch, thus making it a day of staying indoors and watching women in tight black leather clothes kick ass. (Okay, Capote doesn't fit . . . but only because he didn't wear tight leather clothes and the kicking ass was a mental type thing, until the nervous breakdown)

It's much better than heat gunning cabinetry or mowing the lawn, both of which I will do on Wednesday or Thursday, when the weather people in the magical box say it will be cooler.

I did leave my house today and noticed quite a bit of wind. Unfortunately, it's hot wind. Doesn't make anything feel any cooler. And the thermometer in my car read in the three digits (how often does that happen?). I'm being good, I raised my thermostat up five degrees, so that Detroit won't have another blackout (or at the very least, it won't be my fault). I'm even thinking about painting the basement . . . because it's cooler down there and the Cruise is coming. Plus the cabinet doors are no longer sitting in the middle of the floor . . . well, not all of them anyhow.

Off to watch Underworld. I have already watched the sequel, which gave you the lowdown on the first movie so you could understand why you paid $7 for the second, so I'm sure there won't be very many surprises.

Turn your thermostat down to 60 degree’s, for several reason’s. First is heat slows down criminals and criminal activity . Just an observation after living in Detroit for 17 years. The Peeps are depending on you! Second reason is it will give you the chance to plan your winter wardrobe a full 4 months in advance. Now that’s time management! Imagine the joys of trying on winter clothes all while helping to stop crime. In 100 degree weather no less.

If your going to barricade yourself in your house and watch movies, why in god’s name would you watch that. Video suggestion : Naked Lunch (no its not porno-yes it is highly suggestive), The god’s must be crazy (but not 2 that one just plain sucked), The Maxx (so what it’s a cartoon it’s still a very good movie). Enjoy!
