Sigh. Why is it almost every non-attending doctor (and even some of the attendings) looks like someone I could have babysat? They're like zygotes!
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

Erin, why didn't you like Gosford Park (though it certainly put me to sleep! perhaps better than Ambien!)

Good: I made it to the grocery store, shopped for all the groceries I could need for the next week, and drove home safely.
Then... backing into my parking space, the engine cut out and makes weak & pathetic clicky noises when I try to turn it back on.
I guess I'm calling AAA. Good thing I'm at home with all my toys, because in weather like this, I bet I'm going to be waiting a while....

The Jewel on Ashland was a madhouse last night. The lines stretched for almost the full length of the aisles.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That's what I was expecting last night - I think I lucked out.

I think because it was more a clever melange of scenes than an actual developed storyline. Which is why I don't love Altman movies in general.
I thought it was too busy -- I never knew who was really who, until the end - like, the last 5 minutes, and there was just too many people to keep track of and too much happening for a 2 hour movie, and necessarily, I felt like there was just shallow little dips into character and plot, rather than a deeper look. If it were a book, I would be bitching about it being all mostly exposition, less characterization.
Having watched DA and GF, I feel like DA is what GP should have been -- a slower unveiling of the exposition, and deeper examination of characterization, with multiple plotlines that are developed and progress nicely.
I didn't HATE GP, but I certainly don't feel compelled to watch it again.

Saw a couple of little snow tornados at the dog park just now. Kind of neat. But it shows the wind is definitely starting to pick up.

OMG I want a Wonder Woman apron so much. To use when I transfer my takeout from the carton to a plate. Something could spill.
I didn't like Gosford Park either.
Woo hoo Erin!
Ugh, Theo, glad you got home.
