I can never thank y’all enough for all the hair advice. I’m still weighing all my options and will let you know when I decide the best course of action. Honestly, at this point in the summer, my hair is so fried from all the chlorine that it needs all the help it can get and cutting a few inches off probably isn’t a bad idea. Also, I don’t even want to discuss the fact that I’ve pulled 3 gray hairs out of my head in the last week. 3 gray hairs.
Also, have I mentioned my back pain? I seem to have wrenched my back at some point this past weekend and so I’ve been spending time sitting with a heating pad on my lower back. I mentioned my infirmity to Boomama a few days ago, and she was kind enough to inquire if I might have injured it while doing water aerobics at the YMCA as part of some new geriatric workout program. That’s always a possibility. Or it could be that I jumped up at a funny angle from the BINGO table at the Knights of Columbus Hall.
Anyway, last night we got a babysitter for Caroline and went to see “The Bourne ULTIMATUM”, and, truly, ULTIMATUM needs to be in all caps because it is just that good. I honestly forgot to breathe about 2 minutes into the movie and spent the next 2 hours periodically gasping for air. In fact, at one point, I’m pretty sure I was squeezing P’s hand harder than I did when I was in labor with Caroline. And that is a BOLD statement.
If I am ever in any kind of distress due to an association with corrupt government officials or am needing to go deep, deep undercover because I have secret information about classified things, I want Jason Bourne to come to my aid. Forget Superman and his tights, Spiderman and his sad, little webs, Wonder Woman and her fancy bracelets, The Captain and Tenille…I want Matt “almost as cute as P” Damon to rescue me. He is wily and unstoppable and can kick some serious, serious tail end.
I won’t give away any plot points because that would just be wrong, but, needless to say, it had me on the edge of my seat. I’m not always an action movie kind of girl, but I adore the Bourne series because, in my opinion which is really more of a fact, he is the thinking man’s action hero.
And I am a thinking (wo)man.
In fact, if not for the undeniable truth that Sydney Bristow had better outfits and rocked some serious wigs, I might call Jason Bourne my ultimate action hero.
And did I mention that Julia Stiles has really cute hair in the movie? Really cute. With fun, streaky highlights. I wonder what kind of product she uses?
