I really really want to watch this. But it could/would really mess with my head. I might end up enlisting. I've been considering it...vaguely.

Actually I've been thinking about the Army or Air National Guard. Though I don't want to go to Iraq. Its not that I think that I'm too good to go, quite the contrary, to serve with my fellow patriots would be an honor. But its a pointless war, and I don't want to waste several years of my life for a lost cause when I could be working my way up the Hollywood ladder. I wonder if it will be enough just to perhaps write and direct movies dealing with a woman's historic struggle for acceptance in the military without ever having really experienced it for myself. The fire to be a jet pilot is all but out, but the desire to be able to say that I did my duty and didn't run from it is there. Not as strong as it was a couple of years ago.

Ah, screw it. They probably won't want me anyway.
