Sassy's Nightmare Movie

Sassy has defined her version of a nightmare movie, so here is my version. It will be difficult for me to complete becauseu when it comes to actors and directors, my mind often misfires and I end up saying things like "who's that actor who was in that one movie with that one woman, you know the one?"

Plot: An adaptation of a Nicolas Sparks novel
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Leading Actor: Ben Stiller
Supporting Actor: Owen Wilson
Leading Actress: Demi Moore
Supporting Actress: Melanie Griffith
Bit Players: Kathleen Turner, Ted Dansen, Juliette Lewis

There is my nightmare movie. Because I didn't have anyone to give me the names that were just on the tip of my tongue, I had to go look them up.

I'm glad to see we both hate Melanie. She's just terrible.

Excellent.

Oh, gross!
And Demi Moore, too! Ugh! I'd forgotten all about her.

It'll probably win an Oscar though.

An Offending Pile

So, I'm standing in my living room letting my mind wander for a minute or two as I stare out the window and watch the day go by, and I see my neighbors walking their dogs down the street. They are nice neighbors who are always friendly and responsible with their property. That is to say they aren't like the other neighbors who heap rubbish behind their house like Ma and Pa Kettle and let their dogs bark for thirty minutes at a time . Anyway, I see the nice people walking their dogs, a big golden retriever who is as sweet as can be and as dumb as a post—he once ate a sock and nearly died before it was surgically removed—and a new golden retriever puppy. Then I see Neighbor Wife suddenly run down the street with the big dog. Then I see Neighbor Husband stopped in front of my house with the puppy on its leash. And then I see the puppy taking a huge dump in my grass. Let me tell you, that is not done in this town unless the dog owner has a plastic bag handy and is ready to pick up ...

No More Mr. Nice Guy

It's good to be a nice person--to say nice things, to do nice things, to write nice things--but I declare an end to the use of the word nice. Nice is what you say when you can't think of any other adjective. Someone shows you a picture of their back yard--that's nice. Someone tells you about their afternoon adventure--that's nice. Or someone describes their childhood in great detail and sometimes with painstaking effort--that's nice. It's a lazy word, and it's non-descriptive. Nice is like mashed potatoes with noodles and chicken gravy all in a big pile on one plate with some canned corn for garnish. Everything is the same color and texture and base substance--starch (this is a favorite Amish dish). Nice is like a partly cloudy day in April when outside feels like inside, and you can't tell a difference between the lighting and the temperature of your living room and the lighting and temperature of your front yard. Nice is a glass of lukewarm water. ...
