Yay For Sodium!

Could it be???  A return to blogging?!


Yes.  I started to feel like I was using my blog as an excuse to bitch my heart out, which is just not a good daily practice.  Alas, I've missed it!  I've missed your comments!  So can we talk about SALT?


I loved it.  Not just because it was a relentlessly exciting film, but also because it was an awesome action flick staring a WOMAN.  Yes, I have a thing for women in film.  No, not just the organization that hands out really impressive gift bags at their events, but the actually ladies that grace the screen.  That said, Angelina Jolie in all her glory, was one of about three women who appeared in the movie, among a sea of dudes.  Expected?  Sure, it's the norm.  But what I didn't expect was how thrilled I was to watch a hand-cuffed Angelina Jolie knock out two police officers and take over their cop car in the middle of a high speed chase.  Or... something like that.  But I remember thinking, this is so much more worth watching her do this rather than Bruce Willis!


I also kept picturing her slew of children watching their mom be a total badass, kill dozens of people, kick lots of ass and run what looked like about three marathons.  I once saw my mom chase my sister around the entire perimeter of our backyard with a wooden spoon.  Not the same. 


Alright!  Have a great Sunday night!  I'm ready to watch episode 2 of Mad Men with an open mind.  


Hugs!
