'suela, Lori and I watched Vertical Limit. It was either that or some procedural of my parents' choice. VL seemed like the better option. Sadly.
Man. I am so confused by life. pardon the mistake.
We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Heh. Did the TiVo collect it for you?
Not even. I had it on mute for a while, then switched over to a Tivo capture of Top Hat. Man, Fred Astaire was something. And my love for Edward Everett Horton knows no bounds.
I filled a couple of hours reading stories on the Yuletide archive and compiling recs. There's some seriously good stories out there this year.

I blame Fractured Fairtales.
My TiVo has snagged Sweet and Lowdown on Vonnie's suggestion. 1) It's disconcerting that Sean Penn's character is named Emmet because I'm not used to hearing that name on the tv; 2) Samantha Morton is excellent, but I think Allyson Hannigan would've been great in that role as well. She would've been perfect for that character with her big silent movie eyes.

I have the soundtrack for that movie: it's quite good. I wonder why I bought it, since I never saw the movie itself. Is it good?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Is it good?
It is. It has an interesting structure (talking heads type PBS documentary intercut with period stuff). Sean Penn is typically transparent and egoless as an actor (playing a character who's boorish and talented). Samantha Morton is incredibly lovable and felt. The period stuff is very cool with "viper" songs (about marijuana) and sidetrips to Hollywood in the 30s. Reminds me a little of Purple Rose.
I think I need the sdtrk.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Am trying to figure out something to do with my parents today, but it looks like kind of a bust. All the museums are either closed or $20, and they want to leave relatively early, so I'm thinking nsm. Ah well.

Bronx Zoo closed too, Jesse?
I think I have Flexeril hangover, but alas, some of the stiffness it's supposed to address is still there. On the other paw, I did some intense yoga on Saturday, so perhaps that's my answer....
On the remaining paw, I have pretty much a free day ahead of me, so I'd better figure out something to do with it myself....

I'm thinking they're not into the zoo, but it's not a bad idea! Especially since we could drive there instead of taking the hour-long subway trip.

Tell them about the gay penguins? It could tip the balance!

My guess is, the cold weather plus their general lack of interest in animals will mean doing something else, but! You remind me that the zoo is something I want to do in the vast quantities of free time I should have this semester.
