jmc_bksSaw a preview for The Fountain, which looks fascinating. Hugh Jackman, mmm. But more important than that: Shut Up and Sing is going to be playing at the Landmark Cinema in DC. Woohoo! It opens next weekend, so I'll probably slip over after work one even and see it. Doesn't look like it'll be playing any place else around here. Have I mentioned how awesome I think the Dixie Chicks' album is? I love the entire album, from start to finish, especially Lullabye and Lubbock or Leave It.
Went to dinner at D&M's last night. We were going to go to the movies, but couldn't agree on which one, so we ended up watching TV and playing Cranium instead. Men vs. Women. The women kicked ass...twice. We're fine as long as I don't have to sing or draw or act. But I can spell words backwards and forward and have an astonishing store of otherwise useless trivia in my brain. TV-wise, we watched a rerun of Friends, the episode in which Ross and Rachel are on a break and he sleeps with someone else. You know, maybe I'm betraying all women when I type this, but seriously, I'm on Ross's side in that episode. Yes, it was a mistake -- Ross should've told Rachel the truth rather than hope she wouldn't find out, but she said the words "take a break."
On the book front, I picked up a YA book, Bright Purple that looked interesting. From the backblurb, it was about a teenager's best friend coming out to her as a lesbian and then the aftermath. Should've checked the publisher. A subsidiary of Multnomah, an inspirational publisher. Too much talk about the heroine trying to be a strong Christian and going to bible study. Not interested.
