I decided to check the movie listings tonight to see if there was anything I might be able to abide, and lo and behold, Perfume was playing at the $2 theater! I'd really wanted to see the movie because I loved the book, but I didn't figure it would come anywhere near here. And then it shows up at the ghetto two-dolla theater. And it WAS a two-dolla theater freal. Crappy sound, seats about eight inches wide, sticky floors, cold popcorn--but it was worth braving because I ended up loving the movie. I'd heard it was good, but I still couldn't believe how well it captured the essence of the book. It's an extremely fucked-up movie, which is as it should be. :D

I came out of the theater, and the wind was going crasy, and still is. I think we've got another official tornado threat or something. Maybe we'll get hail the size of canned hams.

dude, what's up with all these tornados? I just heard that more struck down south. It's like Dorothy is dropping houses like mad in your neck of the woods. You best start sleeping in the cellar!

But we ain't GOTS no cellars in this heah apartment building! :( It's a big honkin' brick-ass building, though, so I think I'll be safe. Me and Lonzie are hanging out by the front door and watching the rain come down.

I dunno what's going on w/ the tornados, though! I do seem to remember that this time of year is when a lot happen around here, though, and I think Tuscaloosa gets a good number of them--more than we ever did 90 miles east of here in Starkville, anyway.

Ah well. Maybe one'll pick me up and take me to the Land of Oz.

Errrr, make that 90 miles west of here. I always did get them two directions mixed up.

you know, I find it weird that places in tornado alley don't have cellars, or basements or whatever one wants to call 'em.

Kinda like building a house in San Francisco out of balsa wood and then wondering why it falls down with a slight tremor.

Don't make no sense to me neither. I'mma jest git me a trailer and be done with the whole business.

OMG i had no idea the movie had been done!!!! I loved the book, too. It was great. Now, it's time to find me that movie.

Heck yeah! You'll dig it the most. I think it was in very limited release in the U.S., so I don't know if you'll have any luck in the theaters, but the DVD should be out soon!
