Labor Day Weekend
Labor Day weekend was low-key and relaxing, as it should be. In retrospect, I didn’t do much (even though I probably should have) but clean and catch up on some reading & shows. I’m halfway through Stephen King’s “It,” which I started several months ago. That’s good for me because it’s hard for me to find dedicated reading time. I also had my first nightmare inspired by the reading of said book, which is odd because that doesn’t normally happen to me. Cleaned and mopped the kitchen which is the good thing considering my grandmother is invading on Thursday. ::hisss~:: I do have a reason to escape Saturday though as I’ll be saying goodbye (perhaps forever :C ) to Jenny has she and her fiancé are finally going to Norway. What an adventure; personally I cannot imagine such a move. I guess it’s because I believe in firmer roots than to be always picking them up and going every which way. That’s just me though.
Finally got around to seeing “Inglorious Basterds” with sewag and lil_senmurv on Friday. My thoughts on it are conflicted but they can be summed up like this: I can’t believe Quentin Tarrentino made a film that made me feel sorry for Nazi’s. To elaborate on my opinion on this film might cause others to say something to the effect of “you just didn’t understand it” (probably preceded with a sigh) which couldn’t be further from the truth. Nevertheless, as a Friday night flick for friends, money well spent!
We also finally managed to wrangle everyone together to watch the Ashes to Ashes Season 2 finale (I know..I’m late…). Wow. Okay, I did read spoilers so I’m glad I at least knew what I did but seriously….;o; Niagara falls on this episode. I thought it was so well written from beginning to end. I got so frustrated and anxious, I just can’t remember the last time I felt like that watching a show. I cried when Gene told Alex to get out of his sight. I really did. At the same time, I was so overwhelmed at how Chris & Chazz made up (extra bawwwing when she saved him in the wedding dress!) I just couldn’t stand Alex and Gene not being together and that evil tart trying to come between them, even though Gene was too smart for that.
Although I knew the ending beforehand, it still was shocking and exciting. I don’t know how I’m going to wait another year to see how this all enfolds; how ever will they solve Alex & Gene’s feelings for each others?! Gene was obviously heartbroken when he thought Alex hated him. Alex was too when she didn’t have her “constant” on her side. It was so heartbreaking, hence the girlish tears. Having Molly around complicates everything which is probably why Tori & I don't like her. It makes it so complicated that Alex cannot make the selfish decision (although not negatively selfish) that Sam did. We have a grand theory on this whole thing but I almost don't want to wish for it because then if it doesn't happen, I might be very dissapointed. I hope they tie together both A2A & LoM in this final season; they must!
I am such an utter girl, I kept squealing the entire episode at every shocking thing. It made me wonder how a man’s-man would react to the episode. It just was so fantastic!!
Life will now go back to normal as I really only have Halloween to look forward to currently. I’m not so pleased at the premature changing of the leaves (you need to stay green and on your trees, bitches-it isn’t fall YET!) With summer peeling away and fall peaking up, I feel the beginning of a slowdown. ::sigh:: September is a depressing month.
