I was UNPREPARED! Two nights ago, Friday night, when I wrote that I was sad to see a movie without Robert Pattinson, I was unprepared for a few things! I went to a great meeting with friends, had a Rubio's Quesadilla, (as well as being gay mom, we're vegetarian moms...lucky kid!), and finally sat down in the old fashioned La Jolla AMC 12 for "The Runaways", the indie film based on Joan Jet and Cherie Currie's 1975 band. I'll just spit it out. Kristen Stewart was HOT! I knew she had that little adorably-awkward-Meg Ryan-tomboy-thing going since she starred with Meg in "In the Land of Women", but in this film she crosses that straight line and delves into Joan Jett's androgyny...and she is SEXY! I have to give props to Dakota Fanning, too, who grew UP in this movie. She actually channeled a little sexy herself.
Okay, the other thing I was unprepared for was the 3am Earthquake Saturday morning! I shot straight up in bed ready to run down the hall, fetch my toddler and jump under our African Day Bed. It terrified me, because we San Diegans have been really lucky with our post-Easter week of small earthquakes...and I thought at 3am, that our luck had run out and this might in fact be the BIG ONE. I realized I was unprepared! No slippers by the bed, no spare water in the cars or basement. DANG! I've spent this weekend humming through the house stock piling water, placing extra shoes, AND daydreaming about the Runaways.
How big was it? I am freaking out about the big one happening during our visit. Oh well, at least we will be together under your African daybed?! Btw, I have heard rumors about the hotness that is Dakota and Kristen in that movie - good to know it is true ;)
