orangerfulOkay, so I was going to write my BDM review today but I'm at work and I left my outline at home. (yes, I wrote an outline, stop laughing at me! There are a lot of complicated things to work thru when discussing 'Serenity').
Yesterday was pretty good. Worked at CRO and it was pretty busy so the time went by fast. Came home and played a bit of WoWz as Skeleta. She's getting there, we're finally in the double digits for her levels. Then we decided to order some pizza from Pizza Hut, which was yummy. Though I have to say, their hot wings are an unnatural shade of orange. Not that hot wings naturally occur but, wow, those were bright orange. They were hot too. But yummy.
We finally watched Ray! Didn't realize how long it was when I popped it into the dvd player - 2 1/2 hours! Yowza! It was good though, I understand why Jamie Foxx was nominated for the oscar. Too bad he didn't win, he really did an amazing job. I felt that the movie gave an honest portrayal of Ray CHarles' life. They didn't try to justify his drug use or his womanizing. They didn't try to make us feel sorry for him. He just was who he was. And, honestly, he was a businessman who knew what he needed to get ahead and when you're that focused on something, you do tend to come off as a jerk every once in awhile. I was also happy to see that they didn't turn him into some huge part of the civil rights movement, as I knew from my research that he hadn't played that huge of a role. Sure, he snubbed the one Georgia gig and got himself kicked out of the state, but that was pretty much the extent of his big rebellious moves. And that's all they showed in the movie too. So I was like *phew*. And it didn't feel long until that last half hour, when you realized that he wasn't even to middle age yet and we had been watching the movie for 2 hours. Which is how the writer/director must have felt too because it all sort of ends abruptly after he gets out of rehab. It's a good movie though. Well put together with a fantastic cast.
I'm at West County today, 1-5 shift...whoa, and the first 2 hours has just flown right by! I really need to stop booking up my weekends though. I noticed that I scheduled myself both Saturday and Sunday next weekend too. BLARGH! I doubt I'll be able to get rid of them at this rate, no one has taken my friday that's the day of Skylor's birthday party that i was invite too.
okay, the frosted mini-wheats are wearing off, I'm starting to get hungry. Only 2 hours left though. And there's cold pizza in the fridge when I get home. mmmmm.
