cavity search
Not a bad Monday, as Mondays go.
Had a nice long brerak between appointments for work today, so called my trusty assistant (my sister) and had her look up some movie times for me and went and watched a movie. Very nice way to kill some down time on a Monday morning/afternoon. Saw Little Miss Sunshine. Definitely had some funny stuff in it. But wow. Little bit of a scary family. (Grandpa died from a heroin overdose) But you know what? In the end, they all realized that they were a family and were happier for it. Or something like that.
Then, on my way home from work i got a call from some friends who live in PA and who I have been trying to talk to for the last month and haven't been able to get ahold of. Always good to talk to friends.
And Studio 60 was on tonight. (Heroes was on as well, but i can't watch it until i see last weeks, and i can't do that until wednesday, but i am excited about that too) This is a show that know how to do things right. It's funny, but not in your face about it like most sit-coms are. And if you remember my little rant that I went off on a couple of weeks ago about the music used in tv shows...well, this show does not fall inside that grouping. Great music. And one of the best parts of it all...Sting (usually not one of my favorites, but he is ok) sang "Fields of Gold" with only a couple of lutes playing as accompaniment (don't be too impressed that i spelled that right, had to look it up). It was quite beautiful. And that's what helps to make Studio 60 such a great show. It throws you curveballs like that. They aren't scared to combine funny with beauty. Good, good stuff.
mood: a little absent-minded right now i guess. oops.

Little Miss Sunshine was a FANTASTIC movie. Disturbing at times, yes, but very, very good. I think it's been in our little indie theatre here for two months.
yes, it was a very enjoyable way to break up the work day. especially a Monday. but definitely one of the better movies i have seen in a long long time.
