Steel Magnolias

Morning Update

• I'm about to go H.A.M. Hard as a Motherfucker. (New catchphrase alert!)
• It's my mom's birthday today, and I found out something. 
•  I was only 7 years old when my mom had her 40th birthday...which means she was 33 when she had me, not 30, like she told me. Bitch was old, plus she got married at 25 (plus she lied to her children for no reason?!). This only adds to my evidence that both janice and tom were reluctant parents, and thus morphed that unwillingness into what their unique parenting styles are today.
• My parents and Molly are going to look at a litter of puppies today. I'm against this idea because there is a large chance that they won't buy one (evidence in too long CON list), squashing hopes and dreams of people everywhere. Why would I subject myself to that mockery? Or rather...I don't want to miss the puppy/get my hopes up. So I'm not going. 
• I watched Steel Magnolias last night....

STEEL MAGNOLIAS

Well. This movie is definitely unique. Half the time you are wondering why you are watching such a stupid movie about Southern women saying boring things. Half the time you are bawling your eyes out, and your whole body is shaking. Or at least that was my reaction to... about the last 30 minutes of the movie. (My tear ducts have completely dried out...which is probably a good thing.)

It's cute...but you can also see why people make fun of it. Basically, if you have Netflix, it's available on watch instantly, so go ahead and do it, says I. 

Also here's the character list. It's pretty...shocking. (People in the South are stupid, is what I'm trying to say. Joke. But they do have weird names.)

M'Lynn - Sally Field

Shelby - Julia Roberts

Truvy - Dolly Parton

Annelle - Daryl Hannah

Drum  - Tom Skerrit (incidently plays Sally Field's husband in flashbacks on "Brothers&Sisters")

Clairee - Olympia Dukakis
