Break Out!!!!

I'm sitting under the hairdryer as I just finished washing the bee da bees. Z and I are going to the fair (yes again) tonight in Little Rock. This however is the big 'un....the Arkansas State Fair. lol No big deal, just something to do and it's the only night that I will consider going as it's only $0.50 to get in if you buy these little token things in advance. And lordy no, I'm not washing my hair just to go to the fair , it's just that my hair has a way of acting flooky and when it gets like that, the only way for me to able to deal with it is to wash it.

There's a lot going on in these parts this weekend. I heard on one of the radio stations that I listen to that Carlos Mencia, from "Mind of Mencia (on Comedy Central), is doing a show tonight in LR. One of my old co-workers always used to beg me to watch because it was according to her and I quote "Hi-fucking-larious". I did sit down and catch an episode but for whatever reason I never got into it.....oh well. There's also going to be a big football game between UAPB and some other college tomorrow in LR as well. I remember that my sister said that she was coming down for a football game either this month or the next, I wonder if this was the one she was talking about....that reminds me, I need to call her tonight. Then on Sunday another comedy show featuring Monique and George (I can't think of his last name) from the Michael Baisden talk radioshow will be going on. I don't think it's sold out and it's still up in the air if we're going, so for our sakes I hope it's not just in case we do. So needless to say, there's lots and lots of fun things for people to do this weekend. We've been invited to a football watch party Sunday for the big game between NFL team 1 and NFL team 2. I'm sure you all know whose playing so just act like the team names are there.....mmmmk, cool. I told her we may show face....we may not or rather he. Z's pretty fickle about where he spends his time watching his beloved football so I'm pretty sure he will bow out. I'll probably go just to show face (cause I know the lady of the house will not hardly be watching any football) and retreat back home.

So like I said I'm drying my hair and "Pretty Woman" is playing on Lifetime. How many times have we all seen this movie? Probably what seems like a gazillion right (or maybe not)? While I was looking at the tv screen, it occured to me that this WAS Julia's breakout role. Yeah she was in "Mystic Pizza" and probably some other stuff I have never heard of before prior to this film but this was IT. The role that made her a starr-uh. So then that got me to thinkin.....what movie, past, present, or future, would be the one that I could have seen myself starring in with a breakout movie role or hell any movie for that matter. The first thing that automatically came to mind.....Uma Thurman as "The Bride/Black Mamba" in "Kill Bill"! I love the movie and I loved her character. Actually I really liked Darryl Hannah's "Elle Driver" character as well but she eventually gets killed and that just wouldn't work for me in my make believe world. I would just love to be able to kick some major @ss, even it wasn't for real for real, it sure would be fun and then to see lil ole me on the big screen doing all that! Ya'll couldn't tell me nothin!

So I pose to you, if you had your chance to be a starruh, what film would you love to have made your breakout debut in?

In lieu of the breakout theme, I leave you all with Swing Out Sister singing "Breakout". This is my first time ever seeing the video but I absolutely loved this song when I was a kid.

Kill Bill - Black Mamba!!! That's actually how I picked my screen name, LMAO.

I dunno what I could see myself in for a breakout film...I don't really watch a whole lot of movies, but whatever I see myself in, I'd be kicken ass!! *POW*

I am going to our state fair as a worker today and a fair goer tomorrow!

Sounds like there is plenty of things to do in LR.

George Wilbourne is his name. I may have spelled it wrong.

My breakout movie would be in some family flick like Soul Food.

Groove on Sissy, groove on! lol

Black Mamba, you know I wondered was that were you blog name came from. lol I absolutely love that movie and would have loved to have been that character. Just imagine being able to say Ohrenishi (sp???) and have it captured on film. CLASSIC!

Wilbourned YES!!! I couldn't think of his name for anything and was too lazy to look it up. lol Good looking out. Have fun at the fair!

My breakout role would probably be something either in sci-fi or horror. I could see me being pretty good in the role of Jigsaw from the Saw movies. I'd definitely want to play the badass villain or cool anti-hero. I just want to kill a bunch of people and look good doing it.

It's only Sunday and I've been to the fair three times. My friend works there so I get in free plus she hooked a sista up with free food coupons.

My breakout role would be Nina in Love Jones.

Giving you what I got....musically
