10/26/09 - Just finished watching "Milk". What a great movie! Don't really care for Sean Penn as a person, but respect him as an actor. He was terrific in the title role. Watched "Slumdog Millionaire" last night & thought it was great too. Getting caught up in my movies I guess. I guess I liked "Milk" because of the gay rights thing. My bro is gay & to see that most people consider him (them) as second class citizens really annoys me! I remember when my bro told me he was gay. I guess I always knew it, but then he confirmed it. It was about 1985 or so. He thought I would feel differently about him. I didn't. I remember saying "I knew it anyway & I still love you" We are very close to this very day. There is nothing he, or any of my other sibs can say, that would make me hate them. It just makes him all that more special. I guess I just don't understand how people can hate so much. Anyway, still planning on moving back to NY. Packing up things, etc & seeing things that bring back memories. I remember especially my HS days. One of my classmates was THE sister of Rachel Ray. Maria Betar. She wasn't a close friend but she was friendly & I talked w/her etc. I saw her yesterday on QVC or HSN, one or the other. Anyway, her hair is blond now. Used to be brown. Wonder who she married. She used to date a guy named Vinnie Crocitto. Nice looking guy. If she didn't marry him, wonder what he's doing now! LOL Well, it's 12:45 a.m. now, so I guess I will get ready for bed. Talk soon
