    Yeah, and then you realize that the word Skype is rather Norse.

    The SO wants to see Silver Linings Playbook this weekend. I mean, I enjoy Bradley Cooper...De Niro is always entertaining...and let's face it, Jennifer Lawrence and Julia Stiles are both teh hawtness.....

    But it's a rom-com. A highly rated rom-com.

    I'm wary. Is there such a thing? (Excluding When Harry Met Sally, natch.)

    That's David O. Russell. It's probably not your typical romantic comedy.

    Yeah, reading about it, I figure it's not the shenanigan-type lol rom-com. It's also described as a "dramedy," which I think is more my speed.

    Also, I recall enjoying I ♥ Huckabees.

    When I look at the Criterion collection page on Hulu, I get overwhelmed. So much to see and re-see. I've gotten to where I just choose one from the first one or two rows because if I scroll down too far I become conflicted. I have this irrational goal of watching all of them, though.

    Rotten Tomatoes likes it, for what it's worth. I'd see it, though I'd probably wait until it comes out on pay-per-view.

    Speaking of I Heart Huckabees, did you ever see this?

    I had a dream the other night that I had a giant angora named Jehosaphat. He liked to jump.

    George Clooney has some 'funny' stories of working with him on Three Kings, too.

    I just realized the Oscar party I was invited to is this weekend. I've seen...three of the movies. Avengers, the Hobbit, and Les Mis.


    Ah, well. There will be food and awesome people there.

    Someday I might have to see how this Victor Hugo story is turned into a musical. The presentation that Orson Welles gave it for the 1937 Mutual Radio serial is my favourite. I have a difficult time picturing any kind of musical numbers anywhere near this tale.
    That Hobbit film sounds like a prime candidate to rent when it hits Blu-Ray.

    Hideous uniform? Donned.
    Off to yet another boring three hour hospital orientation session. But at least this one is for the hospital I will be assigned to in about...uh, four or five weeks or so, I think.
    They are serving us lunch, though. Free food always makes me happy.

    Had to say no to fostering the most adorable puppy ever. So sad. Was supposed to have this weekend off - had to take it back since I would lose my benefits if I took the weekend unpaid. Double sad.

    As noodle said... fuck you friday.

    I wish I saw how it worked. My observation of the site has been a lot of ego masturbation through epic resume fluffing.

    It's like a website dedicated to polishing turds. I mean, I know some of these people and they're totally not that good.
