Back and--surprise!--busy. It turns out

Back and--surprise!--busy. It turns out when you aren't in the office for a couple weeks, things start back-logging and piling up and screaming at you. Anyway, I am too busy for a real post, and for that, I apologize.

Things about which I wish I could pontificate:

"The Life Aquatic". Am I the only one who sorely missed Owen's writing contribution from this script? Also [plot spoiler alluding to fate of a certain character removed]?? What the hell, man?

"A Very Long Engagement". J, my friend Stephen, and I were sucked into a Project Runway marathon and were only able to rip ourselves away when a preview for this movie, in which a mechanical wooden hand slowly opens, came on. This caused both guys to look up the movie as quickly as possible and make a beeline for the theater. Though the hand is only in about 5 seconds of the movie, guys manage to love movie anyway.

Rings and dresses and parties, oh my. Caterers. Wedding plans. Blah. But like, blah with a smile.

New Year's Eve miracles. Two of them! Involving resolutions coming true within hours and so forth.

In Touch magazine's spread of reality TV stars reinacting 2004's celebrity moments. Like Raj as Brad Pitt as Achilles. I know. The mind BOGGLES.

Also, I am sick. Did I mention that? Busy and sick. [Insert open letter to Afrin and its generic counterparts praising them as the best and most effective medicine that ever existed for clogged nasal passages. Allusions to Drain-o and the like.]
