Missy Misdemeanor of Middle Earth
As fate would have it, the most unlikely of people – me, found themselves with tickets to the opening night of Lord of The Rings Two. Having not read any of the Tolkien books and with only a vague recollections of the first movie, I sat through chapter two of this painfully pointless saga. My review goes something like this. Cool mountain. Who’s that guy? Who are they talking about? Was that guy in the last movie? Those guys look familiar. Oh I remember him but I don’t remember her. God, this movie is long. Where are we now? I don’t remember that guy? I need a map. Frodo’s hair looks darker. There needs to be more fighting. I thought that guy died. Talking trees are stupid. God Damn, this movie is long and this seat is really uncomfortable. There goes another cell phone. Oh, good – some fighting. Who is that girl? I don’t remember her. Please – this movie must end soon.
That movie required too much work on my part and way too much patience. But it was free so I’ll stop my complaining. Besides, I’m sure for people who follow this kinda thing, it was interesting.
But my fantasy comes in a different form. For instance, I had a fantasy this morning that Missy Elliot had her own morning show called “Morning with Missy”. Come on, it would be cool. A welcome staple to my morning ritual is Missy’s “Work It” video. I absolutely must see it before I start thinking about doing any work. Sadly, It dawned on my today that soon (but probably not too soon) the video will disappear from the top of the charts and I will lose my morning dose of Missy. That’s when I thought that she should have her own morning show. I’m sure Missy can decorate as well as Martha, deliver the world news better than Kuric, and the morning weather, – Forget about it – Missy would rule that too. So here’s hoping. In the buzz words of a a client I met with yesterday, “that would really be On Trend.” And now her buzz word has become mine. Everything must be On Trend, “Hey Sally, love that Christmas sweater. It’s really On Trend.”
