Finally a Controllable Emotional Wallop...

[chicating]

I watched both "Before Sunrise"(which I thought I'd seen before, but maybe my college roommate picked it and I complained a lot) but I liked it better this time. I could watch Ethan Hawke and Julie...or I thought of her as French Lisa Kudrow(Which is not intended as a diss...really do see a resemblance.) not make it for a few more hours, though it started slowly.

But then I watched "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?!" which may have been the quickest distance I have ever come from the "Aw, I want that!" afterglow of the last movie to "You know what? I'm good."without a crying baby covered in spit-up being involved.

It feels strange being almost the same age as George and Martha, but I don't quite feel that I am down-shifting in quite the same way--maybe I am kidding myself about that...just because some film stars and pols with money see their nineties, it definitely doesn't guarantee it for my disabled ass. But maybe that is the glass half-full of not getting to make the same solid-citizen forever choices that people more successful at being George and Martha than G & M made--maybe it keeps me young(ish) Although I don't really like it when it makes me feel like I'm still at the kids' table, either.

Well, even otherwise healthy people can be gone in a flash. It seems we are all placed here so lightly.

Sometimes it seems that way...

even after a lifetime of trying to find the point of the whole disability thing.

I don't see the resemblance, Julie Delpy doesn't have a really long neck. Lisa Kudrow always looks like that one Alice in Wonderland picture to me.

Maybe it's not quite a resemblance,

but she *reminds* me of her.
Maybe it is the relentless 1990'sof it all, which, it's not like they knew what was coming next--maybe everyone would've stayed in Vienna.(Smile)
