in which I type in lieu of eating all the chocolate that's in my office.
So after this latest attack of billiousness that my friend told me is probably my gall bladder (and the internets seem to agree) I've been trying to eat better. I need to do that anyway ... but attempting to limit the fatty stuff and eat a lot of vegetables (Spoiler: I DON"T LIKE VEGETABLES) and drink lots of water and fruit juice. I had a nice salad and some triscuits for lunch. But I'm still really hungry!!
Was productive this morning but finding it tough to get back to doing useful things this afternoon.
Watched the much hyped episode of SVU last night. Was mostly bored. Fine performances and all, but how many more Bad Seed episodes does the world need? I know baby serial killers are all the rage right now, but there was nothing new here. I did lol when Dr. Huang asked the kid, basically, who he wanted to be when he grew up and the kid said Bane! (And some guy with laser eyes.) It was nice to see Dr. Huang back, but it hardly seemed worth it for a couple minutes of screen time.
Hoping to get to the movies tonight to see Quartet. I've been trying to get there ever since I saw it was finally playing in the regular theater... what's not to love about quirky English people in a retirement home? I'm certainly not one to pass up a film where the cast includes Maggie Smith, Tom Courteney, and Billy Connolly among others... :)) If I take along a handful of swedish fish to nibble on maybe I won't miss the oh so bad for me popcorn?
yeah. so. still hungry. *eyes chocolate*

Hmm on the gallbladder... a friend just went through that and had surgery and feels great. The bad thing was though she delayed and delayed and delayed... don't do that to yourself!

Quartet was good ... but occasionally a bit clumsy, and I had a hard time getting past the four main actors who were supposed to be England's best singers who reunite for a concert but who clearly aren't singers. It was framed in such a way that the actual performance wasn't the point, it was the stuff that is outside of the performance, but still. The whole movie leads up to this great concert and their performance, which you never get to hear. It was just odd and slightly off putting. But OMG such a cast. The four majors are major talents ... and as the credits show, the secondary cast are all fabulous talented musicians and singers.
As the ladies behind me said afterwords, it was a very sweet little movie. Hopefully now that the weather is getting better I can get to more movies. I've missed my movie nights!
