Whoop whoop for 4-day weekends
So M's painting the front room (e.g. office / music room / adult room) this awesome mustard gold color. It looks fabulous. Pictures to come upon completion.
Went to see A Prairie Home Companion last night. Haven't loved a movie that much in quite a while - since LotR, I think. I cried almost every time Meryl Streep sang. The movie is such a home-spun Midwestern take on loss, longing, death, pressing on when Things Fall Apart. I've been just fondling this movie in my mind since I saw it; that's the best word for it, absent weird sexual connotations.
I was a little surprised, and pleasantly, that Keillor didn't make himself out to be more of a hero in the script; he's a heart breaker, detached, and yet also the astute, perceptive master of ceremonies who keeps everything running smoothly. Loved the banter amongst him, Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, and Lindsey Lohan. And Dusty and Lefty were hilarious. Kevin Kline never quite does it for me, but his Guy Noir is goofy-likable enough.
M just informed me, You're not my favorite person right now, because I'm not helping get ready for church, so I'll bid you farewell.
