TD Jakth thed I'm creative*, tho...

I just realized I'm almost at the end of my work week. I'm taking off early on my "Friday". (I put quotes around "Friday" to signal that I do not have the traditional M-F work week.) But anyway, I have a tremendous amount of glee knowing that I'll be away from work soon. However, on the morning of the day before I go back to work, my mood will change, as I will already have begun to think about my return to work.

So, aside from my job being one of the most miserable places on the planet to be, I would have to say that, in America, one of the most miserable places to be is in the lobby of your local cable company.  You know why, and I know you agree, so I’m done with that thought.

Sometimes I think I have ADD.  I have laughed about this with a friend of mine.  We don’t stay interested in things for long.  Or… we forget things. I don’t remember which it was, and I don’t care. Next topic!

I bite my fingernails.  Not so badly that my nails look horrific, but… I bite them.  I can control the urge for a couple days; long enough to let nails grow long enough to bite again.  I don’t polish my nails.  I mean, I just said, I bite them!

Do you fight sleep?  I do. I see daytime sleep as a sign of weakness. It’s probably a sign of weakness to think that.  Sleeping at night is when we’re supposed to sleep, so to get sleepy in the day, to me, means I would look weak if I fell asleep.  I know, you are now thinking I should seek counseling. Whatever.

 

* Now regarding TD Jakes' claim that I am creative, he actually said we are all creative. I heard him say this on Oprah's "Super Soul Sunday". Okay, so... creative I am! Creative you are!

How NOT to be Disenfranchised

*Sparkle*

Not going to tell you NOT to see it. Not going to do that. However, I was not as... I wanted... The film didn't grab me as emotionally as I wanted to be grabbed.

I miss Whitney, and it was nice to see Whitney on the screen. Whitney was playing a mother, and you know what? She looked like a mother.

Let's jump to talking about Carmen Ejogo. She's THAT gifted, that I don't even recognize her when I see her. For starters, Carmen Ejogo is British. Couldn't tell it in Sparkle. And the whole time I kept asking myself, who is THIS person playing "Sister"? But I know who Carmen Ejogo is, but she's such the consummate "faceless" actress that I simply didn't realize it was she. That's a compliment!

Derek Luke... he's not Philip Michael Thomas. I wanted a Philip Michael Thomas clone, quite frankly.

Anyway, I'll edit this at another time. Just wanted to post this today, since Sparkle opened today - Friday August 17, 2012. I say GO TO THE FILM, mostly for support; in honor of the memory of Miss Whitney E. Houston.

P.S. Big ups to Debra Martin Chase, too - 'cause I love a story about Black women producers - a credit Whitney has held, as well.
