I haven't seen this newest one yet, but at least the mayoral race is over!
Also my friend is catching up and is on season 3 now. Yesterday he got to the part where Rachel (the assistant at the recording studio) kisses Adam, and my friend's only thought was: "She kissed ADAM? What debased sexual things would she have done if JOEL was her boss???"
I had a performance review yesterday that went pretty good! Now I'm waiting to hear if my girlfriend's flight home is delayed 'acause of snow, because if it is I have to drive up to her parents' house to dog-sit for them. (It's a stupid dog.)(Sorry!)
Huh. Not a lot of love for Inside Llewyn Davis.
True story: I tried to see this movie twice at the same theater. The first time there was a blackout and they cancelled the show. The second time, about a week later, the bulb on the projector broke. They cancelled the show.
I guess we're even now, Cohen Brothers.
Nothing to say about D-Rod, but has anyone read that novel The Orphan Master's Son? Its about a citizen in North Korea, and I'm reading it now, and it's very good!
:-(
And, to be clear, she hasn't left me. But I've had "PhD program" on my very short list of next professional steps, and now I have some serious noodling to do about my life.
As we were going to sleep last night, my girlfriend told me she didn't think we could stay together if I went to school for a PhD. She wants to get a house and have kids, and a PhD program at this point means I wouldn't have a stable job until our late 30s at best, which is hard for her. It seemed cruel to me at first, but it must have been a difficult thing to say, and at least she knows what she wants and is being honest about it. We've been together for years and it looks like my half-decade of pussyfooting about both my job and romantic life are catching up with me.
So... trampoline accident day?
It's totally well-acted and slickly-produced and is enjoyable watching, but for some reason didn't really stick with me and so I only watched the first three or so episodes. Maybe it picks up some steam as the season goes on?
We're throwing a murder mystery dinner party on Friday night. (Whaaat!!) It's 1920's Chicago themed. Here's the character I was assigned to:
Eddie ("Socks") R. Gyle:
Smooth, fashionable and clever, Eddie is an avid golfer and spends most afternoons on the links at the exclusive Lake View Country Club dressed elegantly in plus fours and argyle socks. In the evenings he can be found at his exclusive gaming house in downtown Chicago, known simply as Green Tables, where the affluent, the trendy and the compulsive citizens of Chicago come to gamble. Those close to Eddie also know him as a deal maker and in certain circles as "Fast Deal Eddie," although what he deals in and with whom he deals is never mentioned.
Naturally, I've been spending more time thinking about what my costume for this will be than how I will get my Christmas shopping done in time. (I've been growing a beard out a little, and I'm thinking I'll shave it into a mustache for the party. Then roll up some khakis so they look like knickers, see if I can find a newsboy cap and buy a putter from the thrift shop. Thoughts??)
Yesterday, instead of seeing this, I watched Wanderlust and then Seeking a Friend at the End of the World on HBOGo.
Wanderlust was sort of delightful, and Seeking a Friend was maaaaaybe the worst movie I've ever seen!
