Slacker?


I might have watched too much this weekend.

Movies:

The Conspirator- 2011- slow pacing but overall pretty solid- cool tilt shot at the end
Temple Grandin- 2010- maybe I am overly emotional right now, but like Jane Eyre, I cried through the last 10th of the thing; inspirational without trying too hard (much appreciated)
Girls Just Want to Have Fun- 1985- Mainly stupid. On the plus side, the costumes rocked in that painful 80s way.
A Town Called Panic- 2009- random. hilarious. randomly hilarious.
Hairspray- 1988- the John Waters version; not as cuddly as the musical, some funny moments but mostly indulgent and boring
Mary and Max- 2009- dark and somewhat crass yet sweet and human- surprising amount of animation

TV:

Arrested Development- last part of season 2- delightful and clever as always
Psych- 4 episodes of season 5- silly but fun and witty dialogue

I still had time to see the beloved brother-in-law graduate, help he and my sister pack their truck, clean their apartment, and move to Idaho, spend the day with my niece gardening, chop the snot out of a stump in the yard like a freaking amazing lumberjack (or lumberjill?), celebrate a friend’s birthday, arrange flowers for church, have an Easter egg hunt, play Ticket to Ride five times and do two loads of laundry.

I might be tired.
