"it's easier to love somebody, it's easier than to be loved"

So true. But shamefully, they are the lyrics in the opening song of my second movie of the day.

- I know it's early days, but y'all have realised that I don't currently have a job, right? More on that later, I'm sure. But long story short, I am relatively new in town and have been travelling/settling in/job hunting for a while.

I love this movie. It's Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain. One of those movies from my early teen years that was taken out countless times from our local video store's weekly section ($7 for 7 videotapes - school vacation score!). It's also one of those few movies I loved that never got released on dvd. I used to have a VHS copy but it wouldn't have worked in this country so I threw it out. I recorded this a few weeks ago on one of the Encore cable channels..... not that I'm admitting that I actually signed up to add that 'channel tier' for $5 a month mainly so I could record that movie. Of course not... But doesn't everyone have those movies that they just loved as a child? So I'm watching it now for the first time in probably a year. I have to make sure I don't delete it, so I can show it to Princess one day. Princess is the name I'll use here to talk about the little girl I used to nanny for. She's so important to me, like a sister. She's the one who gets to experience all the things I loved as a kid.. until I have my own children!
