Brokeback Mountain Post

Finally I can join the ranks of the viewers of Brokeback Mountain.

Final thought. Wow. I would like to see it again on the couch with a bottle of wine (so I can cry in peace...lately I'm not that good at crying quietly in the theater.) It was realllllly good. I think it will be one of those movies I can watch over and over. Oh yeah....and Jake G: YUM. Except with the porn star mustache. I know that was the style in the 70's (as--strangely I'm thinking now--my dad had one) but he looked really kinda creepy with it. And the sex scenes....wooha. Hot and heavy. My only thought was, "are gay breakups always that violent?" I hope you can hear the sarcasm in my words. All in all....great movie!

Four day week. Yeah! Being that we haven't had ANY snow days and like TWO delays, I'm looking forward to the shorter week. Hard to believe the year is almost half way over. As always, I'm looking forward to summer. On that note, I may start fakebaking again. I always feel better with a little color.

Ran again today. This time in my neighborhood which is considerably harder than the treadmill. One, I have to monitor the timed intervals on my iPod which is hard to see, I can't monitor my speed and I'm not experienced enough to know how fast I'm running and the biggest thing...hills. All in all I did well. Sore, but I did it. I actually packed my bag to swim in the morning. Still kicking around training for a Master's swim team. We'll see.

American Idol starts tomorrow. I won't get home until it's almost done, so I'm taping it. These are the auditions...truly the best part of the show. 39 days until I leave for Mardi Gras. I'm sooo looking forward to the break, the parades and seeing the rebuild of New Orleans--city and spirit.
