Saturday October 6 2001 - 8:51 p.m. Well. Don't I feel like a reject. No, I mean, really. And... Last night I made Jason watch the last scene of Dirty Harry. Well, okay, I didn't make him, but I squealed something like, "Oh! Here's the scene!" and I put on my glasses and sat down on the couch next to him, so I guess that would be an indication to him that I would prefer he not change the station. It was that scene down by the water, the "You have to ask yourself a question" scene. I told Jason that I think it should be required, by law, for everyone everywhere to have to watch every last scene like that, that's been parodied approximately 4,000,000,000 times. So you can have a frame of reference. I think everyone should have to see the original. Because hell, it's funny. If nothing else. Some of the scenes that would be required (but certainly not a complete list. Certainly.): * "You talkin' to me? You talkin to me?" * "Badges??? We don't need no stinking badges!" * "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse." * And the horse head in the bed scene, of course. * The death scene from Love Story. * The subway grate scene from Seven Year Itch. * The baby carriage scene from The Untouchables. * "I coulda been a contender..." * Oooo, that last scene from The Grapes of Wrath. I don't have a direct quote right now. My mind...has given out. I can feel it. I'm in danger of going on all night. I'm sure I'm still forgetting a gajillion more. Let me know if you think of one. Also, this morning, Jason puttered around the house singing under his breath, "Well, isn't that a monkey's rumpus..." Honestly, I don't think he even realized he was singing it. Not sure. Today's random celebrity mention: Ms. Elizabeth Daily Oh yes, she may have been the understanding best friend in Valley Girl, she may have been the singer in the dance scene in Better Off Dead, but to me she will always, always be Just Dottie. A scene that has most likely never been parodied (except later in the same movie): "I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel." (And please, please, don't tell me she's also the voice of Tommy Pickles and that Powerpuff Girl. I know this. I'm just trying to forget it.) In final news, I'm playing a game called Closing Up Shop: Pros and Cons. So what you've got to do is ask yourself a question: do I feel lucky? Well? Do ya, punk? (Incidentally, would you be lucky if I closed up shop, or didn't?) (A conundrum.) (Bling!) I'll let you know. I love you. Yes, you too. But you still need to put some pants on. Lovelovelove,
