i'm on 'oliday!

i have the next 3 days off (plus the weekend, so really 5 days off) and i couldn't be happier! i plan on making as many necklaces as humanly possible for the big punk rawk flea market coming up. i also plan on doing some art, drinking many beers, eating somewhat poorly, staying up way too late, etc. oh, on friday night 2 of my nephews are sleeping over. that'll be a riot. they are 10 and 12 years old, and very cool and hilarious. they want me to take them to the beatles-themed sub shop in my neighborhood (aptly named "yellow submarine") because i made a very deliberate effort to get them into the beatles when they were teeny tiny little tykes. we also plan on playing lots of video games and staying up super-late. i am the cool aunt. i let them do whatever they want and eat whatever they want. woooooo!

let's see...what else is going on...i lost 21 pounds on weight watchers! awwww yeah!! i feel great. i didn't realize that i was such a fatass.

ummm...i watched a bunch of joan crawford movies within the past 2 weeks. there were a bunch of joan flicks on turner classic movies, so i DVR-ed most of them. i saw a few that i love ("possessed," "mildred pierce,"), a few that i've never seen before ("flamingo road," "autumn leaves," "berzerk" - i only managed to get through less than half of that piece of crap), and one that i haven't seen in years, "trog." which is the most ridiculously awesome movie ever! i am never deleting it, ever ever. sadly, they did not air "strait-jacket." which, incidentally, i gave to mark and margaret as an engagement gift. i think i have issues. anyway, i friggin' love joan crawford.

here are random pictures that i have on my computer right now.

You ought to get the three-pack "Women in Peril-Cult Camp Classics 2". Trog is in it along with The Big Cube with Lana Turner tripping. Yes, Joan Crawford rules for mean faces!

the something weird company is a good resource for LSD movies and scare films, if you're into that sort of thing. which i totally am. :)

Queen Bee & Harriet Craig are great, juicy Joan Crawford movies too. Moomy Dearest lifted a lot from them.

oh yes, i saw "harriet craig," too! THAT was a really good one. she was super-duper bitchy in that one.

i LOVE "mommie dearest" and have been able to quote it since childood. that was my favorite movie, along with "tootsie." they were both on hbo ALL THE TIME.
