I found it!

After having Amazon Prime glitch The Lost Boys on me twice, at the same point of the movie, I decided I would look for my copy tonight, instead, and take a chance on the scratch on the disc.

Nearly thought I’d lost it. Turns out the spine of the box was facing the wrong way. All that showed from the outside was a solid strip of black, which blended into the cases around it, and the shadows. I ALMOST gave up. But I thought, there’s no WAY I would have gotten rid of that, scratch or no.

Took one last very slow, methodical look. Noticed a “blank” case.

That was the one. Just waiting.

I’m not sure if the flaw on the disc that makes the love scene skip, was strictly on the full-screen side, or if the DVD was just happier in a Blu-ray player, but there wasn’t a single skip in the entire movie.

Uninterrupted PG-13 romance. Oooh yeah.

Hey, what can I say? They are both unbelievably pretty. I distinctly remember watching that scene for the first time and not being able to decide who I wanted more. It was an early example of one of my many “I would be the third person who walked into the room” moments.

Or fourth person?

If you count David?

But really, was there a single one of the gang who wasn’t gorgeous?!

The opening scene of David and the boys harassing a couple on the carousel, the electric lighting spilling over their faces made them all look very young. But they definitely all have a well-aged vibe, as the story progresses.

Makes you wonder. What does Hollywood do to the young? Could be I’m imagining it. Or, it could simply be skillful acting, and clever costuming and makeup. Who can say?

Haven’t started reading my library book yet, and now, I am wiped way the hell out. Fairly eventful day. I got a short walk in, though. That was good.

And I didn’t hear from dude today. I was the one who sent the last message last night, and I stubbornly refused to send another one today. He can get back to me if and when he shows some interest again. Meanwhile, I will peruse other people.

I hadn’t planned on looking AT ALL, but I don’t like to be left without a backup, in case the person I’m most interested in lets me down. For a little while now, my profiles have been gathering dust. I added a new photo maybe a few weeks ago or more, just because I really, really like it. My makeup and clothing looked great, but mainly, I had just had an amazing night and was in a fabulous mood. And it definitely showed, in my expression.

Well, I added a new pic on one of the apps. The other one, every time I adjust photos, my interests disappear. So, I’m leery of touching that one. I’ve actually made handwritten lists of all of them, so I could search them all over again to re-add them. Painstaking.

Dunno if that happens to everyone?! You would think they’d want you to be able to update things. Your bio if not just your pictures. You can link your Instagram feed, so there’s the possibility of more current pics there, but still.

BAH why can’t I just date a nice, foxy vampire?

Don’t even start with me that they don’t actually exist LOL.

And the ones that do, are soul-sucking, energy leeches.

Maybe I will dip into the other app, just to feel like I did something productive with my love life frustrations. Which have managed to resurface just because ONE person showed a glimmer of interest. Well, I should rephrase that. There has been interest, but most were super far away, too young, or seemed otherwise incompatible, altogether.

Alright. Heading there now. Here’s one more carousel photo, spinning somewhat from the vibe of the boardwalk from The Lost Boys, only more whimsy than bloodshed. And, during the day, and apparently in New York, rather than California.
