bearshortyMy new red glasses match my phone and my camera. When did I turn into such a girl? I do like them - they have little stones on the side in decoration. I’m still wearing my old glasses for the computer and most things but it is good to have a stronger pair.
“Adjustment Bureau” Seeing actually New York people talk to and about Matt Damon’s character is weird : Jon Stewart, our local Newscaster, Bloomberg even! You know movie, Dark Ages is a myth and equating that with low point of civilizations ignores all the prosperity of outside Europe and takes me out of the movie. God or whoever is very ethnocentric in this movie (since nothing horrible happened in Europe from 1500 to 1900 at all, obviously.) The final voice over was unnecessary because we are not really stupid. But this movie did make me cry happy tears – I’m a sappy romantic sometimes. I found it to be a good adaptation of the story even if some plot points were heavily foreshadowed. Matt Damon and Emily Blunt were great in it. So other than Eurocentric bias and the final voice over I really liked this movie.
True Blood S4E5 Wow, this season is so good. I wish I could watch it all at once. The glamoring feels so wrong but there is some humor in Bill and Portia’s situation. In fact, there is a lot of humor in the dialogue as usual. Eric continues to be adorable with a bad dream and snuggling and wanting to be good. And Eric and Sookie kiss. Bill’s realization that Sookie played him about Eric was excellent – I actually like him as king. But he will now interrupt all the kissing Jason’s Jessica and Hoyt dream was hysterical. Tara’s mother is now married to the minister and they got to do demon exorcisms – hee. They are setting up werewolf plot, and Lafayette getting stronger through Jesus’s grandpa. Poor kid with the goat. Sookie gets to use her telepathy and talk to her grandma. And Sam is helping Tommy and brotherly bonding through murder and they are probably setting up skinwalker plot. Great gator, Tommy. I’m not sorry to see his parents go. Overall, this was an excellent episode. Oh, and vampires on Fox News reference was precious.
Today was the first day of gay marriage in New York and it is wonderful to watch. Listening to people’s stories , people who been together for 4, 10, 18, even 42 years is better than all the negative news we get all the time. It made me very teary.
