Insert Catchy Title Here
Went to see
Elizabethtown last night with Mel. And I rather enjoyed it, which is interesting. At its heart, it's a movie about a how the time surrounding a father's death winds up being so life-affirming for the rest of his family & kin. In terms of the life-affirming, it was exactly the pick-me-up I needed last night. And on the death perspective, I'm a guy who wants a Viking funeral and an Irish wake. Just fyi.
And somewhere along the way home, Mel wound up uttering the words, "It would have been insult to injury if they'd nabbed my car. They'd have stolen my car and my pants!" Which is particularly humourous, since there was no attempted theft of either. (And if there had been, this little bit of nowhere would have featured vast quanitities of homicidal rage.)
In the meantime, there are things to do, miles to go before I sleep, and a solid block of ice that will hopefully be a large piece of pork loin once I get it defrosted for tonight.
