Ninjas with Lasers


That's me... but I picked a picture that was taken at a flattering angle I ... it was the anomaly... every other picture was saggy and puffy or disturbing. I probably should have used one of those ... they are kinda cool in their own way... but I was too vain.
It's 5am, Joe is sitting on the couch next to me watching the rest of American ninja... the part he slept through . This movie is; slightly awesome, boring, and ridiculous. I really didn't give it my full attention, but there seem to be many scenes I am confused by or just don't care about and then there is something cool like ninjas using lasers...
We will be watching Old Yeller next. We decided to rent it after watching Marley and Me. I felt like a bitch because I didn't cry at the end like everyone said I would ... (I didn't get into the movie.... ) Later when I was describing Old Yeller to Joe -who has not seen it- I started crying like a baby... so ... Joe has the dvd in talk to you later.

Ok, I cried through the whole thing... even parts that weren't sad, because I knew what was coming.
(if you've watched the movie) The part that gets me most is ... after Ol' Yeller is infected with rabies and locked in the shed... when they believe there is hope and think that he may be just fine. the boy goes out alone to feed the dog...and it growls at him. For a short period of time the boy denies the truth of the situation- O' Yeller has been infected... he knows... he alone knows... . Later when he actually has to shoot the dog, the situation is clear cut the dog he knew is gone already so shooting is sad and final, but it doesn't impact me as much as the scene when he first realizes.
It's just like Rodger in Dawn of the Dead, Ol' Yeller tried not to....
