  The Cinema I've been wanting to see a movie in a theater for ages, and I finally went to one on Saturday. I chose urlLink Connie and Carla because I was in the mood for light-hearted entertainment. I ended up enjoying it, but I wasn't expecting such broad, slapstick comedy (think urlLink Laverne and Shirley ). But it was cute, there were some good laughs, and I enjoyed the basic premise because those two actresses both made pretty believable drag queens. On video, I watched urlLink Groundhog Day after reading an article about Harold Ramis, who has writing credits on urlLink Animal House , urlLink Caddyshack , urlLink Stripes , urlLink Meatballs , and urlLink Back To School , all movies I thought were hilarious. Groundhog Day had bored me to sleep the first time around, so I thought I'd give it another chance.
I had two cups of coffee to fortify me, and I stayed awake till the end, but I can't say I liked it any better. The only really funny moment was when he punched the eminently punchable urlLink Stephen Tobolowsky . Words I've Had To Look Up Recently exegesis : Critical explanation or analysis, especially of a text. The New Yorker writers love this word. It comes from the Greek "exegeisthai" meaning interpret , from "ex-" ( out ) + "hegeisthai" ( to lead ). apogee : The farthest or highest point, apex.
Also originally from Greek "apo-" ( far from ) + "gaia" ( the earth ). Thanks, New Yorker. I'm ready to take the GRE again now. For Sandy You have to hear this in the voice of Syd Vicious. And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I’ll say it clear, I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain.
I’ve lived a life that’s full. I’ve traveled each and ev’ry highway; And more, much more than this, I did it my way. Regrets, I’ve had a few; But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway, But more, much more than this, I did it my way. Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way. I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried. I’ve had my fill; my share of losing. And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing. To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way, No, oh no not me, I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way!
