a risky love story at best about two ex-lovers from college...

above is the trailer for 1983's "Risky Business" starring a young tom cruise and rebecca de mornay. not going to ruin the movie beyond saying that i was looking into the past this afternoon and decided i'd watch this film online via netflix. again, the service was worthwhile. the movie shone beyond expectations, including the fact that i kept thinking the script was stupid for the way it bobbed and weaved, but i have to admit it was worth it.

there are some very hot and steamy scenes to the movie, hence much of the hype, and i believe this is more of a soft core porn (to ruin nothing else about the movie) disguised as a coming-of-age flick from the 80's. i never realized just how much of a 70's influence was still around in 1983, especially with regards to the passion-filled scenes on display in the film. i certainly enjoyed the premise of the film and i eventually came around to loving the film by the time tom cruise starts playing rebecca de mornay's game against her in the end scenes.




also caught the 1970's blockbuster "love story" with ali macgraw and ryan o'neal. another film with a difficult script which i found a little hard to enjoy at first, but ms macgraw turned me into a believer during the line when she memorably says "love means never having to say you're sorry". it's a breathtaking moment in a gut-wrenchig film about young college lovers. i wont spoil anything beyond saying that i liked ms macgraw's tough "dont bullshit me" attitude and i hope to someday find my self a woman who can match the attitude and spunk of ms macgraw's character. oh wait, she already exists and her name is nadiya kravets, how i could i forget.

ha ha ha.


obviously i am in much better spirits, especially after a medicated afternoon spent eating food and watching baseball. i got some rest this afternoon, but because i want to make a trip to The City tomorrow i have to go to sleep early in order to make that happen. i had taken a nap not long before being awakened by my mother, but i'm also tired enough to go straight back to bed after this blog.

update on nadiya: since i'm a confirmed lunatic i'll explain that i've had contact with nadiya, so there is no longer an APB out on her. also, she's agreed to meet me in The City for lunch the next time she's in town, so that should help to clear up some of this "scarlett johansson" business. she's still a joke, to me at least, because she kept asking me through psychic means to come by nadiya's place and then wouldnt open the door. i know which building they live in, but alas, it was never to be.

my online friend, selma, has been giving me help throughout much of this ordeal and some other friends, like suki, have supported me as well, by providing support and acting as pillars for me to lean on. i'm definitely still reeling from having to go into the hospital for so many times when i believed i was going to see nadiya again. i guess the simple route would've been to ask for an invitation outright versus dropping by uninvited, or extending one out to her in order for her to drop in whenever she was "in town".

you know, such things often slip my mind when i'm manic, and that's pretty much a set way of life for me, since i've been diagnosed with bi-polar. in either case, it does not matter. i have touched base with my beloved nadiya and perhaps soon we can find a happy ending to this mysterious episode to my life. lord knows i deserve it.
