Oh Dear

Being on vacation is such a bother. Tomorrow I shall go to a movie or two, providing it doesn’t interfere with my nap.On another day I shall be visiting 2 musems and going to a lovely lunch.On another day I plan to have a “beauty day” - haircut, etc.

Friday the 13th should be interesting - a good day, historically-speaking, to be a woman. I will fill you, Dear Reader, in on that more later.

Another day to shop and maybe lunch with a good friend.

And mainly lot’s of napping, hot baths, and just plain “not working” and not taking part in the daily grind.

It’s been a long time coming, but I deserve this!

‘Boston Legal’ or “That’s so fucked up…”

These days, in order to see a “smart comedy” on television, you have tune in to a drama.

WTF?

Abortion

Abortion as birth control sickens me. But that is just my personal opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

But I wish I would stop hearing men say they feel victimized by the fact that they don’t “get” to make the choice. Let’s forget for a moment that your “choice” occurred before your decision to have sex.

Let’s say you get a woman pregnant. She doesn’t tell you until it’s “too late” - thusly you shouldn’t be repsonsible for the resulting pregnancy, because had you known, you would have pushed for an abortion - supposedly…

Ok, so you get a woman pregnant and she tells you right away. This is a woman you are seeing strictly for sex and whom you have minimal to no feelings for. You tell her to have an abortion and you pay for it.

Are you in the clear? Morally, no. This woman is now changed forever - having carried a life inside her and killed it - having to deal with that emotional scar for the rest of her life.

Even if it is totally the right thing to do, she is going to have emotional, and probably physical, fallout from it.

But the man thinks once the fetus is killed, everything is re-set to zero, the way it was before he fucked the woman he got pregnant, and all is right with the world.

Wrong. So, so very wrong. You can’t say, “If I’d known I would have chosen to abort, therefore should not be responsible…”

Because you ARE responsible. Even if she DOES decide to abort - you and your choices have caused a life to happen - and then be either born out (literally) or cut short before having a chance to grow.

And the woman, the beautiful, fragile, strong, trusting, cynical, etc. person who carried this life will be forever affected, if she is in the least human….

And you can’t just “abort” it and call it even.

My biggest bitch with deadbeat dads is that they want to pretend their children don’t/never exist(ed).

I’m too tired to explain how very full of shit you are and how very wrong you are. Go fuck yourself “(Fred)Eric(k)”…..

That Was Weird

I saw Amadeus when it first came out in the 80s, but I hadn’t seen it since then until about a month ago.

In the meantime, I’ve been watching Sex & The City for the last few years. How are the two related? Well you might wonder…

When I re-watched Amadeus I recognized, as the maid Saliere hires for Mozart with the ulterior motive to spy on him, Cynthia Nixon; she plays Miranda on Sex & The City!

She was very young and had shoulder-length blonde hair. But it was pretty obvious it was her.

Weird how people who go in and out of your consiousness when they appear the first time can just jump out at you when you go back and re-watch something older. Especially if they have achieved some noteriety.

It reminds me of when I saw Peggy Sue Got Married. Apart from Nicholas Cage’s character (Crazy Charlie), none of the male co-stars really stood out to me. But when I went back and re-watched it several years later, Jim Carrey jumped right out at me as one of those. Funny.
