For your information there's an inflammation in my tear gland
I hate it when a song gets stuck in your head and just won't leave. It's even worse when it's one line repeating over and over again. Check out my subject line to see what's been running through my head all day.
I saw some movies this weekend. I feel like I haven't been to the movie theater in a long time and thanks to my handy list, I can see that the last time was in the beginning of August. First movie up was Blindness. It has been getting a lot of bad reviews, but I liked it. There were a couple of scenes that were hard to watch. I thought the acting was great and it really makes you think about human nature and how you would act if you were in a similar situation. I enjoyed the music, and the movie was visually interesting. I feel stupid because I didn't even realize that none of the characters had names. Sometimes the small details don't register with me. I hope to read the book sometime soon.
After Blindness, we watched Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. I enjoyed the movie so much more than the book. I liked the movie version of Nick and Norah and didn't have a strong urge to punch them both in the face. It was a cute movie. Not the greatest, but entertaining enough. I love Michael Cera, and all of the other actors were good too. Some gross things happened with a piece of gum. I happened to be chewing a piece while watching and really wanted to spit it out, but there was no place to put it. That was a little unpleasant.
One complaint I have has to do with the audience. Right as the trailers started, a large group of 13-year-olds (that's a guess on the age) came in and sat right in front of us. They talked loudly during the trailers, and once the movie started, they continued talking, and were politely asked to keep quiet. They were quiet, for oh, maybe two minutes, before they started talking again and busted out their cell phones. The stupid phone light kept distracting me. After a while they all got up to go to the bathroom. I know this because they said very loudly, "Hey, let's go to the bathroom." They came back later, but sat away in the front seats, away from everyone else. Even though I was in the stadium seating, third row from the back, I could still hear them talking and see the light from their phones. What's the point of going to see a movie at the theater if you are going to talk the whole time and text on your phone? Assholes.
I spent a good chunk of the day yesterday reading The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson. It took me forever to get into it, and I was ready to quit a couple of times, but I just forced myself to stick with it. I hate giving up on books. At last I am finally enjoying it. I've gotten past page 400, but still have more than 200 pages to go. Sigh. I have to return it to the library this week, so I have to hurry and finish. My TV watching is getting in the way of my reading. I watch too many damn TV shows. I'm already behind on a bunch. I recorded them with our DVR and there's a few that are On Demand, so they'll probably sit there for a while.
If you didn't watch Saturday Night Live this past weekend, you should watch Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals. It's stupid and hilarious. My sister and I laughed through the whole skit. I don't even know why we found it so funny. I think it was mainly because Andy Samberg sounded so much like Mark. Tears came out of my eyes because I was laughing so hard.
