Well, it's blistering hot, but a nice breeze coming through my window.

I used the last of my food stamps to buy some frozen veggies and instant mashed potatoes, still had some left over so I treated myself to a ready meal of chicken biryani with basmatti rice, and peas paneer.

Treated myself again, with a dirt cheap (note the semi-pun) pot of flowers for the patio, as my ruffled pansies died off (don't worry, now one died--, they are flowers with frilly edges, not some gay men in a frilly shirts :)) ). I got a little pot full of lovely little yellow mums, to cheer up my day every time I look out the window. Can't beat some live flowers to brighten up the place.
Well, you can beat them, with...money! Yes, money would go far to brighten up my life, but..hey, I'm simple, I settle for flowers and am content with that.

I wish I still lived near a lake or river, could do with a nice refreshing dip in the water...on further thoughts, I still kick myself for leaving behind my air conditioner when I moved...still at the time, it seemed better to avoid wrenching my back, than having to put up with being hot a few months out of the year.

I'd like to do something--there's a good film playing at the drive-ins this weekend...but, I rang them up and was told they have a new policy where on cannot sit outside one's car any longer--and having no car at all, and being to poor to be able to rent a car or limo for the night..well, if I could do that, I could blinking well afford my own car, ey? Seems some idiot was sitting in front of his car, with his legs stretched out in front of him, watching a film, when another car came down the row between the parking spaces, and ran over the bloke's legs. You have no idea how much I miss the drive-in's...besides the economy (two films for $9, and, you can bring your own food/treats if you don't want to give the snack bar your custom), there was just the pleasure of sitting in your car, watching the stars and the moon wheel through the heavens--if the film had some boring bits, and (usually) without the distraction of less mannered patrons.

Just not the same in some multiplex cinema, trust me.

There's two films, and the nice thing about this theater, is it's easy to switch screens--which I've done. Sometimes I'll like the first feature on Screen one, but not the second--so, after the first film, I will move over to the screen two side, and watch the second feature on that screen....which would be the case this weekend, as the second feature on screen one is Babylon AD, which I heard is pretty darn awful. The second feature on screen two is that comedy with ben stiller and jack black.

So, if anyone's in my area and reading this, and wants to take in a drive-in film this weekend, I'll fork over half your admission fee and throw in a couple of bucks for gasoline, if ya'll will just drive me in...I can sit in the shadows in my lawn chair after, and take a cab home, if need be.
