so i'm beginning to realize how amazing netflix is. do you know that they have most of the shirley temple movies on the instant queue??
i dont think i've ever explained my love of shirley temple. when i was little i wanted to be her. i had the vhs of all her movies. i learned all her dances and songs. i tried so hard to have corkscrew curls (this was obviously impossible as i had long, stick straight hair). i remember reenacting some of my favorite scenes with laura and michael. she was my tap dancing hero.
i couldnt sleep the other night and stayed up watching Rebbecca of Sunnybrook Farm. i've probably not seen this in 15+ years easy. but each part came back like i had just watched it yesterday. i've said it before but i'll say it again... they do not make movies like they used to.
in slightly more grown up news, i found a house that i want to buy. i know it's just pipedreaming, but i was made for this house. maybe it's because i'm still stuck in the mindset of looking at all those old morgantown photos, but this is my dream house. its an old old old brick row house in the older residential part of star city. i loved it from the outside and when i looked it up online (yes, i did some research) it is absolutely beautiful on the inside. i showed it to the Stranger and he liked it too. to the point that he started doing math to figure out if we could get it. we both have good credit and with his raise kicking in we could well afford it. but holy cow. that brought on a big ol panic attack. thats serious. like, serious serious. but i'd give most anything to live in that old house.
i found a new part of the rail trail and i think i'm in love with nature again. its on this side of town and there is a marina that i didnt know existed and its just a really nice quiet hobo-free part of the trail. i think i'll be spending a lot of time there once its not so muggy.
saturday is the chicken wing cook-off in town. you know what that means. i'm eatin my weight in wings. nom nom nom.
i've been having crazy realistic dreams lately. ones that mess up my whole day. i'd really appreciate if they would stop.
