Movies and Pictures for the week.
The first note is that I got hit on by a deaf guy when I was working at the Boys and Girls Club. We were walking back from the park and a guy on a stoop signed "I love your face" to me.
Tomorrow is going to be a long day for me. I have my assistantship, the first day of my summer class (Spirituality) and then my first day back at Party City.
The movies for the week are Bedtime Stories and Transamerica.
On Monday I was unpacking stuff from our trip and I found the Valentine's Day card that I hid from Curtis (and apparently myself) back in February. Oops.
Tuesday was my last day off before going back to work. I spent some time scrapbooking but I didn't get very far, I have a lot of catching up to do. I don't really do anything fancy. I just cut relevant pieces out of the brochures from the places we visit and make a page with some stickers.
Wednesday I started back at my assistantship. This is me in my cubicle.
Thursday wasn't a very interesting day. I sat outside and read while I ate dinner. I'm reading "Swine Not" by Jimmy Buffett about a family who is hiding their pet pig in a fancy hotel in New York. It's pretty silly. The funny note is that when I was a kid, and still to this day, I can't just eat, I have to be doing something. When I would eat breakfast at home I would read whatever happened to be on the table, most of the time it was the cereal box.
It's that time of the year where everyone is moving. On Friday I helped my friend Jeannelle move out of her apartment. She's staying with us in our spare bedroom for a few months before she goes back to New York. This is me pushing her mattress into the storage compartment.
On Saturday we helped Amanda move from one apartment to a different one. It was funny because there were like nine of us and it took only an hour.
On Sunday Curtis and I met a friend for lunch and then ran some errands. We checked out the Greensboro Historical Museum downtown (which is free). They have a cool new exhibit where it is set up like 1900s Greesnboro. There's a one-room school house, a drug store, a movie theater, a hotel, and a firehouse. There was fun stuff to play with in each exhibit. Fun fact: Vick's Vapor Rub was invented in Greensboro.
Bedtime Stories (2008) - Skeeter Bronson (Adam Sandler) is a down-on-his-luck guy who's always telling bedtime stories to his niece and nephew, and whose life is turned upside down when these fantastical stories suddenly turn into reality. Now, all the outrageous characters and situations that Skeeter has ever imagined have morphed into actual people and events in his life. But can he manage his own unruly fantasies now that they've come true?
It was real cute. I want it to rain gumballs! I remember seeing the previews and thinking it was going to be cute but being afraid that the hamster was going to be real stupid, but thankfully it was not. I pretty much love anything that Adam Sandler has been in. It reminded me of Billy Madison in that he had to "fight" against some guy for a company.
Transamerica (2005) - Bree (Felicity Huffman) gets the shock of her life when a week before her final sex change surgery she discovers a son she didn't know she had. After bailing him out of jail the two set out on a cross-country journey riddled with road bumps. Huffman won numerous awards (and an Oscar nomination) for her role as a man longing to be a woman. Elizabeth Pena, Burt Young, Kevin Zegers and Graham Greene co-star.
One of those quirky adventure stories that makes me wonder if this stuff actually happens to real people. As Curtis pointed out, there were parts of it that seemed very real, but I want to know if all of these things ever happen to one person. Felicity Huffman was pretty amazing playing a man who's transitioning into a woman and struggling with the decision.
Well now I'm off to make way too much food for our impromtu cookout this afternoon. :-D
