Awkward Baby Years

LISTAS!
-Conclusion by consensus was a bust. All of you are fired.
- Dolly Parton's cover of "Stairway to Heaven" may be the best cover ever recorded, short of Johnny Cash's "Hurt". But still, it's great.
-Saw "Crash" this week and I agree with Em when she said it was one of the best movies she has ever seen. Watch this movie.
-Actually, I watched a lot of movies this week: "Crash", "Phantom of the Opera", "Batman Begins" (w/Hatch and HollaBack) and "Being Julia", and that's just because I have a crush on Annette Bening.
- November is National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo for those in the know). I started my novel. It's kinda boring so far. Hopefully I figure out how to not make it totally suck.
-I used to think that Angelina Jolie was the key to world peace, because I have yet to meet a person who wouldn't make out with her given the chance, and that common ground is a great place to start on the road to peace. Now I'm thinking the key to world peace may be Jenny Steele, because I have yet to meet a person who has met Jenny Steele who doesn't immediately form a crush on her. If you met her, you'd form a crush too.
-Stopped by my father's house yesterday and he had out boxes of old slides. I saw pictures from my childhood that I've never seen. Two things: (1) I had a huge, abnormally bald head as a baby and ears that stuck out and made me look like a wing-nut. But I was a damn cute toddler. So there, awkward baby years! (2) In those early photos, my dad looks like he loves my mom. That's the first I've ever seen a photo that would even suggest that. It calmed something in me, knowing that it really wasn't always bad.
-We got a box of skinny ties in at work and I thought, "Dear God, the 80s really are coming back..." and I got a bit frightened.
-Got rear-ended on Tuesday by the man who deserves the "Most Enjoyable Person to Rear-End You" award. Like I called him today with the estimate and he just cut me a check and that's that. No dealing with insurance, no premium raises, nuthin'.
-Leaving for Rockbridge Fall Weekend to polish my work crew skills in the kitchen and on ropes. yay!
-I didn't get to dress up for halloween this year. I am old. I even had a costume.
