Therefore I can admit that I am psyched about seeing 10,000 BC tonight at the cinemaplex near Taco Bell. From the moment I glimpsed a preview for this film about prehistoric mammoth hunters, I knew I had to see it in the theater. I feel like all the decades of improvements in film technology, CGI, and digital post-production have been building up to tonight’s realistic depiction of a saber-toothed tiger eating somebody in a loincloth. I also spent many hours reading the Clan of the Cave Bear series when I was a kid, particularly the sex scenes. I just have a thing for prehistory and I am too lazy to be an archaeologist. I like movies and books to do the work of my imagination. Full review to come!

I too read the sex scenes in Clan of the Cave Bear more than once when I was younger.

But I’m so tired from working today and we’re watching a movie about the bombing of Dresden. Can’t I just blog tomorrow?

Personally (concerning the above post by Christos), I think you shouldn’t feel great pressure to post, but should simply do so when you want to. I think your readers will stick with you.

the reader above is right, you shouldn’t feel pressure by me or anyone or anything else… xo

My favorite blogs are the ones that are constantly updated, so I understand the frustration. I wish I could blog 100 times a day, but someone else would probably have to pay my bills. But thanks, guys, for your support! Now I have to go to the dentist, because unfortunately, blogging doesn’t fill my cavities either.
