a mild irritant??

Sitting with my beloved, on our vintage couch watching one of our favorite movies, I realized that I have a hatred for young actresses whose fame far outreaches their ability to act. I ponder, to myself, whether or not their "worth while" peers are not off having families and acting in local theater groups while these frivolous morons have their way with an unsuspecting public. I have a list of actresses whom I loathe entirely but the actress in question is the lead female in the movie "A Knight's Tale" Shannyn Sossamon. Whilst watching afore mentioned movie, my husband and I were having a conversation about old books and their relevancy on today's society. One of the other main characters in this movie is Chaucer. I lamented the fact that I had not, in fact, read his "Knight's Tale" and my hotness of a husband inquired about their being an actual story by Chaucer entitled "A Knight's Tale". I explained The Canterbury Tales and how they relate to the current movie we are watching...... only to be thwarted by the horrible portrayal of "Jocelyn" by Miss. Sossamon. It is an affront to my soul and my teeth as an actress. A mule could be more convincing. Mere school children have more focus and merit. And as we discuss the impact of said actress to movie's worth I have an interesting side note to give my better half that he bids me share with the masses..
If I were
schizophrenic and heard voices that were telling me to.. oh.. perhaps.. kill someone or.... do something that was just stupid.. that it would have to be her voice that I would hear and that if it were I would be so irritated that I just might do the voices bidding just to shut her up.. I mean, she is the female version of Keanu Reeves. Only less talented and much less lucky.. She is clearly not an "FBI AGENT". Its just so irritating to me that she is even in this movie which is other wise super funny and enjoyable.. When she delivers her line that "that is well" I want to shoot myself.
"If you just stop talking in my head.. and naming your child Radio Science, I will do whatever you ask. I swear."
I'm just saying...
oh and it cracks him up that when I do read something from an earlier time period that the voice in my head is that of an old English man akin to John Cleese. I can't explain it. Its just what I hear when reading Shakespeare or Chaucer... Go figure!!
I mean really?? look at her stupid face!

FIRE!!

What does one say when one can think of nothing clever to say?
I have begun to desire to write again and so I put my fingers to the keyboard and stroke the keys in hopes that, the mere act of writing will inspire me with some anecdote or humorous ruse. Nothing has been coming to my mind as of late because I have been busy with life and it has expanded like a great storm cloud filling my entire sky with its billowing fullness and requires a constant vigil to keep the downpour from overflowing my every vessel. I know life's enormity is the same for everyone, still I cant shake the feeling that I have been given my circumstances because they prove to be so difficult for me. I can take a moment to remember the lighthearted, blissful ignorance of youth and long for the times when my siblings and I used to spray hairspray on doors and then set them on fire. It can make me laugh to remember that my youngest brother took the fall for all the evidence of the activity because he foolishly wrote his name so he could view it ablaze.. It was quite a sight.. I do miss those times when we could not worry about what was going to happen next but just live in the moment and be happy with our fiery displays. And so to this keyboard I did put my fingers and while my time spent here has been short, I have found it enjoyable again........

I know I said I would get better but computer problems have prevented me from being my charming hilarious self.. so to anyone who has not given up on me.. I am thinking of a good one.. soon to come.
