write rather than eat

This is going to be a quick entry as I still haven't eaten dinner. I have dinner here with me at my desk, but the mashed potatoes in this TV Dinner are like molten lava straight out of the microwave. So, despite how hungry I am for this Marie Callender's dinner, I am chilling like Goldilocks until the dinner reaches a reasonable temperature.

I just noticed that The Brothers Grimm movie is directed by Terry Gilliam. Damn fine director, I believe. Some of his stuff just can't exit my brain - and I'm probably talking about some of the movies nearly no one else saw. Baron von Munchausen (I'm on vacation, don't you dare tell me to verify that spelling!) or Time Bandits I'm talkin' here. Yes, yes, there's Twelve Monkeys and Brazil and all the load of Monty Python, but perhaps you'll get a better feel for what I like when you realize those first two are the one's that stand out for me. I mean, I like fairy tales, and three wish kinda stuff. Heck, I like Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (but mostly for the novelty of knowing that I basically live in the city of San Dimas' backyard and the quirk factor of having George Carlin in the movie). Anyway, gotta see that movie now - I thought my pocketbook was safe from theater distributor rape at least until December.
