world war II and antique shops

tuesday

woke up around 9:30 (which is surprisingly early for me). took a shower and then called mrs. sherry to get a haircut. fortunately she's always open for me so i drove down there quickly to get my head shaved. i talked to her awhile about whatever shenanigans baillie is getting herself in to these days. mrs. sherry actually makes me laugh quite a bit when i go see her. i got a 4 on the sides and a 5 on top, which is pretty short for me, and for a second i looked like an Auschwitz survivor but now it's not so bad. considered the hairstyle above, but didn't know if i could pull off being a blonde.

saw a hilarious photo of baillie and mrs. sherry graciously gave me a small picture for my amusement so i left with this gem:

 ...and creepily tweeted a picture of it sitting in my dash.


got back home and lifted at travis's for a little bit. really, really wanted to go to the beach and had my mind set that that is what i wanted to do... then here comes a ridiculously huge cloud in the middle of a perfectly sunny day, so no beach. instead i got angry and sat and watched Anderson the talk show and ate, like, 3 bowls of salad. a man was on the talk show talking about how he had a silicon doll that he named and he was sexually attracted to (and his wife had no problem with it). i found that less weird though than the bizarre episode of the view that came on next where whoopi goldberg answered questions about women crapping and other gross things that women shouldn't do. when whoopi (how is that a name??) was asked if she liked the automatic toilet flushes she said she did because they made room for more. TMI whoops. TMI. also she calls her crap "whoopsis." this humored me for a good 10 minutes. and yes sadly on tuesdays i have so little to do during the morning that this would humor me.

i should mention that i have kinda been obsessed with the idea of doing a world war II era movie set in pin hook during the 1940s. i get obsessed with random ideas a lot and i like to do a lot of learning about them, and usually making a movie is the best way to learn and move past that obsession lol. i hear granny talk about what little she remembers during that time and i just think that would be interesting to do. all of grandaddy's brothers, including him, went off in the war so all of pin hook was basically left man-less while all of these young boys go off to fight in this war, and they're coming from conditions where they don't know anything about wars or guns or anything. i just think that would be such an interesting story. i would cover both what goes on at home with all the women and what goes on overseas. i watched this movie called atonement today about world war II and it was incredibly complicated but i do really want to make a movie about something like that.

to elaborate on how serious i am about this idea, i even went to an antique shop in wallace today to look for stuff. it had EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD

there was so much stuff in there, every part of the wall was covered. their prices are actually ridiculously high but they had some cool things in there from the 40s. i never can quite tell what they 1940s encompassed... like did they even have electricity?? i looked around for a while. they even had an old 1930s Model T (which, little do they know, i will use in my future movie).

dropped by granny's on my way home and talked to her about the 1940s. she told me the story about the blackouts about 5 times but once we got passed that she told me this really cool story about how franklin roosevelt stayed in wallace with the family doctor and how the whole town came and saw him (granny included). it all sounded really cool. i would have loved to be able to peeked in during that time... don't know if i would like to live then, though. granny referred to the railroad tracks in wallace as "the long lines where the tractors go" LOLOLOL i thoroughly enjoyed that. she may not be the best historical information giver there is, but she does at least capture the feelings about what it was like back then. she was pretty young though. i wish my grandaddy were still alive to talk about it with.

left there, went home, stalked facebook, got super annoyed because most of my friends on facebook now are 12 year old girls. went to go see battleship in jacksonville with baillie. it was a whole bunch of explosions but it was entertaining just for the fact that rhianna was awkwardly cast in it as some sort of hilarious butch/Jaden Smith woman in the navy. went to walmart. told baillie about my day(s). i am pretty sure we know exactly what goes on in each others' lives every second of the day most of the time. came home. now i am typing this.

not a very productive day but i did enjoy that antique shop and talking to granny. i am pretty sure all old people say "now don't run off now." granny and grandma will say it even if you stay with them for 4 days. wellp, i hear noise downstairs which means dallas and wesley and jared must be back from wherever they went. maybe beach tomorrow?? i hope so but i am SURE a giant cloud will come and attack. cross yo fingaz. i really can't wait to live at the beach with people and see the sunset everyday there and then take cool pictures of that happening. cannot. wait.

i leave you with a picture of my newly shaved short hair. i Am s0 aRtSy.

bye!
