Using a movie genre, how would you describe your life?
Edited on Tue May-11-04 12:24 PM by terrya
A drama? A comedy? A musical? A madcap farce?

A lame post, but I just can't think of anything devilishly clever. :-)

4. Melodrama. But with a happy ending.
I didn't quite rate a Lifetime Movie of the Week, but at one point I probably would have said that.

9. Black comedy.
Sometimes it's so darkly funny, it's not :shrug: , but it would be if I were watching someone else going through it :7

16. A nice. boring documentary
Husband loves wife
Daddy loves kids
Wife loves husband
Kids love Daddy
Have enough money, but not so much as to be interesting to an audience
Everyone's healthy
Husband and wife donate to Democratic Party
Live in suburbia
mixed ethnic marriage and nobody cares
Wife has job she loves
Husband has job he kinda tolerates

AAAAARRRRGH, I used to be so interesting........

Actually, I'm very pleased with this life

17. "Ghost Space."
I have the surreal, offbeat humor of Ghost World in my life and the people/events around me, and then think of my old hospital job, which was the medical equivalent of stapling cover sheets on tps reports for humorless automatons.

Occasionally a bit of Lebowski sneaks in as well, as when last night my Alzheimery father threw a pizza roll at me.
