You ever feel something on your lip after you drank the last sip of coffee and think, "I don't even want to know what that is." That's my whole life right now.
Is "my grandma texts back faster than you" a burn? If so, I'm going to start using it. Today.
So, last night. After yoga. I air popped myself a bowl of plain popcorn, brewed some peppermint tea and settled down to watch a good old-fashioned film. Believe it or not, I had never seen Good Will Hunting. It's been sitting on our counter in its NetFlix envelope for about 31 days now. I finally "found the time" and the "willpower" to "sit down" and watch the damn thing. And boy, am I glad I did. I have no idea how I never got around to watching that film, and I remember when it won awards . . . but I had no idea how great it actually was. God, I love original works . . . original screenplays, original musicals, etc. Besides the film being wonderfully well-written and the parts played so truthfully (holy shit Robin Williams!), hands-down I thought the best scene in the movie was the "It's not your fault" scene. Oh man, I just lost it. It's like, you're sitting there through the whole movie, and you feel just as tense as Matt Damon's character the whole time--all you need is this release. And that scene, it was just so real for me, so honest, it reminded me of theater scenes we did in acting class. So while the film definitely moved me, I still just cannot get over how captivated I was by that one scene. It's just one of my favorite dramatic scenes in a film of all time. Nothing too profound I have to say about it, just that.
I am also watching Lady Gaga's 'Alejandro' music video for the first time. Here were my impressions: Aliens. Longest intro of my life -I feel a year older. Ugly men with hot bodies = confusing. This is really a terrible song. I don't care how visually stimulating it is. It's definitely an Ace of Base song. Had to turn it off 3/4 of the way through.
Must go back to work now. Need wine directly after this. Good thing it's Friday. UNT
