I watched the movie "Jerry Maguire" on TV just to see the line where the girl says "You had me at hello." So many men love that line, and I so don't know understand why that's a great line.

I mean, I guess how to a guy a girl saying that line, would be the equivalent of saying "you don't have to explain yourself, you don't have to say anything, just your mere presence makes me fall back in love with you."

What guy wouldn't love that he doesn't have to talk, he doesn't have to say anything, he doesn't have to have some rehearsed explanation. What guy wouldn't love to just be able to walk about into a relationship and just have a woman unconditionally love him.

It would be kind of like having a dog. No matter how long you've been away, as soon you as you walk through the door the dang dog is wagging its tail and jumping on you because it's so glad to see you.

So does that hello line mean that woman should act like loyal dogs, who are after all, man's best friend?

On Saturday, I wen to see "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", which was so much fun. People in the movie theatre even clapped at the end. The movie had a good story, great special effects and it wasn't boring.

I loved how all the characters were literary figures I'd read as a child. It made me want to go back and reread those stories. I loved Peta Wilson, of La Femme Nikita fame, as Mrs. Jonathan Harker.

She has this one scene where does her vampire thing and the men watching have to act like it's not a freaky thing. Only a group of men would have that reaction. What a laugh and how true to life. With some guys, a girl can pull all kinds of stuff and the guy does not even blink an eye.

I can't believe Sean Connery is like 70 something years old. He still looks very good and fit for someone his aage. They had a pretty boy playing Dorian Gray as well. He was a little too thin for my taste, like say rock star heroin skinny, but he had a beautiful face.

On Friday I went to see Lara Croft, Tomb Raide: The Cradle of Life. I know it's a silly movie, but I love it. I wish I was like Lady Lara Croft. I love shows with cute girls who are tough and do great stunts. Plus Lara Croft's character is so intelligent, and I love the whole historical antiquities thing. The movie had amazing special effects and stunts as well.

I suppose I should go and see the new Charlie's Angels movie, but those girls are so silly. I wish they were all a little more intelligent and not so girlish. I much prefer Lara Croft who's more mature, not so silly and girlish but still beautiful, feminine, intelligent and able to kick any guy's butt.

My writing group met at my new apartment tonight. It was so much fun! I am so paranoid about having come over to see how and where I live, but my writing group liked my new place.

I even cooked three appetizers, but only one went over well. I'd made one of them before, the others were new.

One of of my appetizers turned this icky shade of brown and green which made me feel like Bridget Jones, but oh well. It was a mushroom, stilton, and bleu cheese dip. I'll make the leftovers into an omelette over the weekend.

How fun to have my close writing buddies see my new place, and to be able to be entertain and cook for them! I'br forgottrn how much I like entertaining.
