Hello Clint. Take me away!

The best thing about Clint Eastwood is how he handles the ladies. You know his flick is about to get good when any woman enters the scene. No matter how hard she struggles, Clint always gets her...and she'll just smile gratefully after ("Mister, anything you say is fine with me...")

With that squint and those sideburns and that perfectly coiffed hair!! oh lord!! and when he kisses a dame and his smooth jaw muscles jump.

So, Mr. Eastwood, this post is for you. I will spend the rest of my semester watching your movies and admiring how the white desert light glints off your sunburnt cheeks.

This might be love!

Movie I will watch next: For a Few Dollars
What I am watching right now: Coogan's Bluff
What I just watched: Fistful of Dollars
And before that: The Beguiled
And my favorite: High Plains Drifter

My Therapist: Dr. Seuss

Yesterday, I read Oh, the Places You'll Go to a little girl named Sara. And I remembered loving that book because it both scared and excited me. Those monsters were real monsters that I might face someday. But reading it as an adult, I realized the monsters were all around me: loneliness, fear, failure, confusion, depression. Those are the monsters Dr. Seuss refered to! And I found myself near tears as I read these encouraging, hopeful words:

"And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3 / 4 percent guaranteed.)
KID YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!"

So on i will go, though the weather be foul. On i will go though my enemies prowl.
