a perfect summer film

WELL, last night we went to see Pirates of the Caribbean and had a fantastic time. To me, it was a perfect summer film. No heavyhanded social message, lots of (relatively harmless) swordplay and action, a touch of romance and lots of humor. Johnny Depp stole the show as Captain Jack Sparrow. And Orlando Bloom is very drool-worthy in his role as a human (read non-sissy-looking elf) blacksmith-turned-hero. He’s now my wallpaper.

Have the airfare and mears transfers and hotel set for our whirlwind WDW commando weekend. Between that and Kim’s California Adventure Part Deux, August should be a fun month.

Dierdre the Pain hit level 73 last night as well, during the big Valley of Death run. She only died once, which gives her a death count total of 694.

Edited to add on 9/11/07: I never thought that I’d be divorced by the time the 3rd installment of this movie aired.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
