  Just quickly (is there such a thing with me? Hah! ) - in my flutter of general misanthropy earlier, I complete forgot to mention that I watched The Last Samurai last night. SO GOOD!! Such a wonderful movie...very beautiful. Very sad, but also very triumphant and uplifting, if you can get past the sad parts.
I started crying about 30 min into the film and sniffled on and off through the whole thing, then broke down sobbing near the end. I won't tell you at what part, assuming you haven't seen the movie yet, but I will tell you that it was when Katsumoto said "They are all perfect". Go rent the movie and see if you don't cry during that part, too!! Seriously, though...it was a very good flick, and I can't honestly figure out how they got away with robbing Tom Cruise and Edward Zwick so blind at the Oscars.
Go watch it and tell me if you don't agree. Also...I got new sneakers this weekend and they are uber-comfy, so I made the mistake of thinking I could just go off on my mile-long walk in them this afternoon, after having only worn them a total of about 2 hours EVER before today.
One might say...OUCH. One might also fill the bath tub up with warm water and bath salts and soak one's tootsies for a good long while when she gets home this evening....*grins* It's amazing just what a difference new, properly fitting shoes can make, though. My walk has never really worked my butt muscles before, but I was feelin' the glutes today when I got back, lemme tell ya!
Oh, and I thought of one more thing to add to the "pisses me off" list. It's kind of stupid and girly, which those of you who know me will know that I detest all things stupid and girly, but here goes: It pisses me off that the fingernails on my left hand are perfect, strong, and I actually have to keep trimming them so that they don't get too long...but the ones on my right hand? Stunted is a good word. They just don't grow. I don't get it! And it makes me mad, because I can paint my left hand up all bootifully, but I look like a friggin' carnie if I go around with just one hand's nails painted...or worse if I try to paint the stunted ones to match!!
So what do I do?! Arg!! That is all...:)
