Laundry day
So naturally I watched a bunch of terrible movies while I waited, and a couple of fun ones.
First, Louie CK's last comedy show before his inevitable divorce, "Chewed Up", mostly about how horrible life gets when you have a wife and kids and turn 40.
Then, Fantastic Mr. Fox, which was unbelievably disjointed and random, but pretty fun, full of great voice acting and really did feel like a Roald Dahl novel.
Also finished watching Lie With Me, directed by Clément Virgo who also did that scene in The Wire where people use only the one word during a crime scene investigation, but still get their point across. He had also worked with my brother on some of his script stuff so I wanted to see some of his own stuff. The movie was "really dirty" as my brother put it, set in Toronto (largely around Bloor and Bathurst, sort of like Scott Pilgrim but with constant sex instead of fighting) and on the whole, pretty well-directed and acted. Almost didn't feel like a Canadian movie at all.
Then for some insane reason watched Highlander: The Source and Robot Jox. No, I don't know why either. They're both largely terrible, yet both built around excellent RPG campaign concepts (a bunch of immortal swordfighters pusuing the greatest power in the universe; giant robots fighting in arena combat to settle the affairs of nations in a world barely alive after a nuclear war). Problem exists between cup and lip, I suppose.
Also caught a Boondocks episode, the SNL "commercial parodies" special, and Blackadder's Christmas Carol.
And ate pizza. And practiced some piano.
But mostly, it was laundry, vacuuming, putting things away to try to clear floor space in my room.
Tomorrow, back to work. And music. Oy.
