Trying for a more coherent post June 17, 2004 ~ 10:37 am
Posted by Julie in : Daily Grind , comments closedI realize that I haven’t been totally coherent the last few posts. I try to be, but it’s been a nuts week. And now using someone else’s computer…well, I feel like I should be hanging out with Kim, instead of on her computer. But she has graciously told me I can blog from here whenever, mostly because she likes reading the posts, I think. So here goes…
Tremendous thunderstorm last night as Kim and I got off the train from Philly meant that we were both soaked by the time we reached the car. Didn’t help that we got into a water fight and were kicking water at each other! But by the time we got back to Kim’s, we were wiped and spent the rest of the night watching movies. Love Actually for my fourth time. I love that movie - there are just so many little details to notice, and each time I get something different out of it. It’s interesting to see who is friends with whom, and how those relationships unfold or are kind of dropped during the movie. And my favorite part is still Jamie’s (Colin Firth) rambling monologue in Portuguese. I just get a kick out of the fact that it’s not perfect and the subtitles reflect that - it’s natural that he’s going to fuck up verb tenses and whathaveyou, and the writer let him do that. Perfect.
Called Rick after that, because I missed hearing his voice - we normally talk a couple times a day, at least. He had left two detailed messages on my voicemail about everything he had been up to - from waterproofing the tent, to scouting out campsites, to playing 27 holes of golf. There is just something wrong with that last one…
Afterwards, turned on the TV to find that The Importance of Being Earnest was on. Let’s hear it for Colin Firth night.
Well, that was mostly coherent, go me.
