On romance, I guess
Have you guys seen the trailer for Away We Go? I am deeply, deeply conflicted.
Because: OMG John Krasinski! OMG John Krasinski with beard and glasses! But wow, so pretentious. But does pretentious definitely preclude quality? And what does a Sam Mendes comedy look like, anyway? And hey, I like Maya Rudolph. And Allison Janney! And the soundtrack, thus far! But Dave Eggers and (his wife) Vendela Vida? That's kind of annoying. I feel like this movie was made for me, and yet I do not want to be the person that this movie was made for.
Am I going to love this, or hate it, or both? Or neither? It's just a big ball of squee and disdain and uncertainty, you guys.
Also, apprently JKras is (fictionally) knocking people up right and left.
ETA: Okay, I watched the trailer again, and totally laughed. My favorite part is Maggie Gyllenhaal on strollers: "I love my babies! Why would I want to push them away?" I am feeling optimistic now.
In other news, I remembered the other day that I have an OKCupid account. While I do not currently have any desire to pay for the Internet to find me a date, I am possibly open to the idea of the Internet finding me a date for free. I haven't updated my profile--according to them, I'm still in Oakland--but I'm thinking about it. (Ironically, had a minor nightmare this morning about getting married. It was my wedding day--like, during the ceremony--and I realized that I didn't really know the guy I was marrying, and that I somehow hadn't sent out invitations, so that the people I would want at my wedding weren't actually there, and it felt all wrong. I do not know what the moral of this story is, exactly.)
