kassidy62 thank you for my panda! So cute.
The window man arrived 90 minutes late and was here less than 5 minutes. I'm so glad I took the day off for that.
Trailers - trailers have been the theme of the day.
I saw I know I'm in the minority in not really caring about LOTR and Hobbit. I know that's internet sacrilege but there it is. (it's not that I didn't like them. On the contrary I remember finally watching the dvds and being deeply impressed and I watched all three movies in quick succession - it's just that, well I don't remember it. Seriously, of the three movies I can recall the ending of the first, a visual image of elves talking near some water and the "I will carry you" thing. Yes I know it's a misquote, I'm paraphrasing and I probably only remember that because it was said in Dangerous Lady. I know it's shameful perhaps but, um, yes. So the trailer? Intrigued me in that Guy of Gisbourne is in it. Martin Freeman seemed very cute and appealing and I was filled with the feeling of recognition and homecoming when I saw old familiar faces. But that was it. Sack me from the interwebs now.
I also saw the and just. Ugh. I stick by 'my' shows. I remain hopeful, ever hopeful, so I will watch and I will hold out for the good bits, but watching that. Just made me lose any of the optimism I was clinging on to.
Surprisingly though the made me more intrigued and hopeful than I have been since midway through season 6. Pessimistically hopeful, if one can be that, but flashes of hope nonetheless.
And then I watched Lewis; Generation of Vipers and Hathaway reclining beautifully in the sun, whilst Robbie chews a blade of grass; the pair of them discussing (so drily) and then doing "action", before ending with this exchange:
Robbie: "...in love with each other for 20 years and never said a word."
James: "Scared of rejection."
Robbie: "so they bury themselves in their work, become very successful, and very alone."
James: (sideways look) "Now who does that remind me of?"
From that you may conclude that I have had a lazy and you'd be right - although sandwiched between frenzied house cleaning (and litter changing!) this morning and the horrors of grocery shopping this evening.
And now work looms loomingly.
