This will probably be really short because I'm just typing until Ela gets here.
In local news, GuitarHero is over Sandy (so he says) an has now moved onto somebody in my inner circle, who I am now regretting introducing him to.
Our very own Paroxysm, Parox, P.O, Tino.
I didn't see it coming, because they're so different.
Parox is a prude, and GH is...uh, not. They're both geeks, which is GREAT for relationships.
But wait, there is no relationship, and there will BE no relationship. Because of 'commitment issues' on her part, and general silliness on his.
God love him though, the poor boys trying. Hes dropping hints like an Easter bunny on Easter Sunday.
I have finally gotten back in the habit of writing, I only have ten more pages left in my sketchbook, and am harvesting a writers cramp.
However, I haven't been sleeping very well lately because I usually do my exercise before bed. I can't do it in the morning, its too loud and I like sleep.
I can't do it in the afternoon because Buzz is here and hes asking me for something on a minute by minute basis.
So that leaves the night. And I am not a vampire, the night is not a good time for me.
The night is not good fr me, morning is not good for me, and the afternoon is not good for me...
I should just sleep all day.
I saw Inception, by the way.
I really liked it, Leo was good. And so was my bitch Cillian Murphy as Robert 'Walk like I have a stick up my ass' Fischer.
Because he did.
Saw the movie twice in fact, once with Parox, as part of our Cillian Murphy fest, and another time with GuitarHero, because he doesn't know who Murphy is, and I wanted to fix that.
Spaking of Murphy, I have a new favorite movie, and its called Breakfast on Pluto.
Its about Patrick 'Kitten' Braden, transevestite extraordinaire from Ireland in the 70's. She goes to London searching for her mother, and there has many marvelous adventures.
I recomend it.
Gotta go, Elas here.
Beatles: I forgot to remember to forget her,I can't seem to get her off my mind.I thought I'd never miss her,but I've found out somehowI think about her almost all the time.

The Marilyn Itch Part II: My Week with Marilyn
Huloo again, and welcome to the second installment of my Marilyn posts.
Today's theme is the 2011 movie My Week with Marilyn, to be directed by Simon Curtis. It based off a diary written by Colin Clark, the third assistant director for for the Marilyn Monroe-Laurence Olivier film The Prince and the Showgirl. His unofficial role was to keep Marilyn out of Olivier's way.
The diary has already been published, but all the details of one week were missing, and the missing week will become the frame for the film.
Although both Scarlett Johansson (=D) and Amy Adams(D=) were considered for the role, it eventually went to the star of Brokeback mountain, Michelle Williams (=o).
The question of authenticity in this film can be questioned, because of the lack of details pertaining to the events in the book the film is based on.
Hopefully it will be more historically accurate than the Naomi Watts film Blonde promises to be.
As for the question of whether Michelle looks the part, there is still cause for concern.
Michelle is, like Naomi, quite thin, and luckily blond, but there is a slight complication with her eyes, which are a light brown. And she is a little more full cheeked than Marilyn.
Her triumph, however, is that she can act. And the director has said that it will not be an impersonation of Marilyn, but rather an idea of her actions behind the camera.

Marilyn: http://www.raypfob.com/Images/Marilyn%20Monroe.jpg
So, as you see, there are some differences between them.
Will the film succeed?
Will life itself succeed?
Do we have any more macaroni and cheese?
Stay tuned.

The Marilyn Itch Part I: Blonde
Well dearies, it seems that Hollywood has reached its senses.
I have been hoping for a Marilyn Monroe biopic for a long time, and just today I find out that there are not one, but TWO Marilyn movies in the works.
Well, chocolate frogs.
I decided to talk about them both, because they both seem interesting and chances are that you, dear reader, have not heard of either.
So I'll start off with the one that I heard of first, which is Blonde, which will supposedly star Naomi Watts (IMDB confirms) of the movie King Kong.
This movie is set to start filming in January of 2011, and is based off of the Joyce Carol Oates book of the same title, and will follow the start of Norma Jeane Baker to Marilyn Monroe.
The book is controversial, as many view it to be VERY historically inaccurate. For example, in one scene of the book, Marilyn has sex with President Kennedy while he is on the phone with Fidel Castro, and why Kennedy had Castro on speed dial to begin with, America will (hopefully) never know.
Blonde will be directed by Andrew Dominik, a director I have never heard of in my entire life, so I won't dwell on him too much.
This is not the first time that Blonde has been made.
It was originally made in 2001 as a TV movie that starred Poppy Montgomery as Marilyn, but did not gain much recognition.
Naomi Watts herself is no dead runner for Marilyn. She is blond, which is crucial when you depict the most famous blond in history, but she is very thin and almost other worldly. When you see Marilyn, she is very blond and curvaceous and she looks like a real old Hollywood girl.
When you compare the two they look nothing alike:
Naomi:http://www.curly-hair-styles-magazine.com/image-files/medium-celeb-hair-05.jpg
Marilyn: http://www.starstore.com/acatalog/monroe-black.jpg
They have similar qualities, but Watts doesn't have the LOOK of Marilyn.
Needless, I will be seeing this movie when it comes out and hope that Naomi has what it takes to portray a very complicated woman.
Tomorrow I'll most likely talk about the other Marilyn movie in the works.
Bye.
Beatles: Baby's good to me, you know,She's happy as can be, you know,She said so.I'm in love with her and I feel fine.
