Has It Really Been This Long?

It has been a long time. Time is fleeting (as always). I keep meaning to get online and post an entry, but each time, I get called to do something or something happens etc. I never seem to have much time now to sit down and focus on my home page, or more importantly my friends. I was reminded of this by a sweet friend, who called me from the USA, because I hadn't been online in ages. So, I tell you, that despite not being able to get online, I AM HERE AND I MISS YOU ALL! (no, I'm not shouting. Just highlighting, so you never forget it). And to you, sweet Picci, you are the greatest. No words can say how I feel. The mirror has one face.

Okay, so now to fill you up to date, with all the trivia from the last 17 days. Well, I have seen sooooo many movies. The best movie so far, has been without a doubt "The Devil's Advocate" with AL PACINO (my favourite male actor) and Keanu Reeves (duh! - my only word for him!). The messages about VANITY, phew..what a fantastic movie! I recommend. I went to see it with Hubby and dad on Tuesday night ($5.00 ticket night). Mum was in Warbaton (Sanatarium Health Retreat) having massages, with my grandmother and Aunty for company.
Anyway, the movie was packed. The lights went dark, settling in for the movie, when all of a sudden the lights come back on again. The usher wheels in a trolley with Coca Cola, popcorn, icecreams etc.. So my father decided he wanted a Coca Cola. He stood up (the only person in the entire cinema) and started to wave, in order to catch the usher's attention. I said "Dad, you'll have to go over to him, he's not coming over here", my dad waved with more enthusiasm. I started to beg "Dad, go over to him, or else you'll miss out on your Coca Cola", okay so being subtle doesn't work! "Dad, it's self serve", I tried once more "Go!". Finally, my dad moved through the sea of knees and feet (we were sitting in the middle of the aisle) to get his drink. He came back, sat down and the lights went dark again. The movie began.
All the way through the movie, dad gave me a running commentary on the scenes. Ay!!! No noise from my right? I held my breath. No commentary for 2 entire minutes, scared he'd fallen asleep, I looked and asked "Dad, you asleep?" He turned to me and said "Shhhh, your interrupting the movie !".
I will definitely watch the movie again, when it comes out on video. Both Hubby and dad enjoyed it aswell.

The other movies I watched, was "Tomorrow Never Dies" (hot piece that Pierce Brosnon! Whoa!), best line in the film was from 'Money Penny' "You always were a cunning linguist...". Talk about tongue in cheek! Okay enough, enough!!!
I have also seen some great movies. One was the third in the series, from Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mall Rats) called "Chasing Amy". One of the best videos I have seen in ages and ages. I also saw "Liar, Liar" with what's his face - um - oh yeah! James Carey. Hubby and I had a few great belly laughs. It's also worth watching.

Now for work. I have only been there for 3 weeks. According to my employer, I am going "Fantastic...Doing excellently....etc". On Friday (16th January '98), my employer told me that I am now worth $2 more per hour. Cool! Only downside, my sister is no longer working with me. Long story. Work is really busy, which is great. Makes the time go faster.

The weather has been so hot of late, Hubby and I have been sleeping on the floor in our dining room (the only room with an air conditioning unit). In fact, we have been virtually living in the dining room. I can't wait for more temperate weather.

Well I guess I've bored you long enough now....till later my friends....

Soosh (trying to stay cool, licking my palms - just kidding, running around naked etc...). Oh, yes...another thing I have learnt this week, is not to suck on a lollipop (Chuppa Chup) on the way home from work, in peak hour traffic.
