"On that famous thoroughfare with their noses in the air."
I'm writing this while drinking the first banana milkshake of the year. It's not a sunny day, but it's hot and dump, which is kinda the norm in the summer here. And I've been a responsible adult the whole week, what with laywers, judges, taxes and so forth, I truly needed something that would make me feel like a kid again. Not to mention my therapist has been away all week on medical conventions.
Don't get me wrong, it hasn't been a bad week per se, just a whole lot of real life stuff happening all at once, and I need some levity. Right now I'm listening to Fred Astaire's Puttin' On The Ritz, and it's hard to stay serious while listening to that. Plus I fear I have a serious case of milk moustache, what with the banana milkshake I'm drinking out of my Iron Man cup. :D
And yet with all the annoying stuff life has been throwing at me all week, nothing can compare with the new LiveJournal layout that premiered yesterday. I instantly clicked on the "old version" option, but I have a bad feeling it's not going to be an option for long. I knew this day was coming, but it's even clumsier and uglier than I feared. I shouldn't be surprised, as all the layout changes in the last few years have been ugly and the least user-friendly it is possible to achieve, but they still manage to top themselves with every new update.
It's time for a short movie review, because it's been a while since I've done one, and because the other day I finally saw The Lego Movie. It wasn't as groundbreaking as all those reviews said, but it was indeed funny, and that plot twist near the end was really good. Plus it made me all nostalgic, thinking of all the hours I spent as a kid playing with my Lego sets. I had a bunch of pirate sets, and hundreds of regular bricks that we used to build pyramids on the living room table. We even had a dead pharaoh that my dad had made out of paper and tape! *___*
