If there's ever been anyone made for the night shift -- or at least afternoon -- that would have to be me. No, actually that's not true. All I need is to be to work by 10. That makes all the difference. If only because then I could take a nap on the train in peace without being squashed or having to stand up. I've been amused by my high school days redux of sleeping while standing. I've still got it!
I just realized something about Kill Bill. With the exception of Bill himself, I'd say the most interesting of the villians are dead. California Mountain Snake might be a challenge, but I dunno if it'd be as interesting as O-Ren Ishii. Wouldn't it have been hot if O-Ren had been saved for the last big challenge before the big boss sort of deal? I just doubt that Budd and Elle Driver will be half as interesting visually. Then again, I've heard rumblings that the second volume is supposed to be more talky and "character driven" than this one. I can't visualize that it'll be half as fun though.
There's a lot of short people in NYC. I'm about average height (5'5" for the record) but I tower over people on the train. It's kinda funny, if only because when I was a kid I was obsessed with my height. I made a bet with my mother that I'd be her height (5'6") by the time I was 18 and lost. I had figured before then that height was determined approximately by averaging the height of your parents. My only childhood "girly" dream was being the next Naomi Campbell, so I figured that 5'9" was a pretty good height to be. But, I'm not and I got over it. I got those recessive genes of brains and being short. But on the train in my flats while slouching, I'm still a head and a half taller than most. Good times.
