Disgusted with the teams remaining in the NFL playoffs, I'm
switching over to hockey (Yay! It's back!). First game is on NBC this Saturday
and it's the Penguins! Oh yeah, they're playing the Flyers. So happy!!!
On Sunday I went and saw two movies. One, I mentioned here
before. "Silver Linings Playbook" is finally playing around here and
my daughter and I were able to attend. Pat's reaction when he finished reading
Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" was the best reaction I've
ever seen! My daughter calls this movie "A Keeper" and I might have
to agree with her. I laughed; I teared up. I really enjoyed it.
After that movie, I came home, picked up the husband, went
to dinner, then headed to another theater to go see the movie HE wanted to watch:
"Django." I have to say, I wasn't exactly interested in seeing this
movie. The trailers just didn't do anything for me. But he heard good things
about the movie and wanted to go, so I went. Wow, was I pleasantly surprised.
Yeah, it's a bit (a lot) on the violent side (and that last scene was way over
the top), but the movie was really entertaining. Never would have expected that
with Quentin Tarantino!
Had a lovely time at our friend's house on Saturday, making
up for the New Year's Eve party we couldn't make (due to the icy weather). Had
a great meal and played Phase 10. I really like that game (even if I do lose
all the time!). If you've never played it, you're missing a good time.
So, with all that activity over the weekend, my writing kind
of suffered. Ah, but that's okay. That's what I have the week to do, right? I'd
like to say I'll get my editing/revising done this week, but I won't. Say, that
is. I realized I cannot rush through this project (no matter how much I want to
finish). So I'm not. It'll be done when it's done (apparently). But man, I am
itching to get back to Book 5. Hopefully, that one won't take as long to
edit/revise. It'd be nice if I could work on two projects at once, but I'm
discovering that just isn't in me (at least, not yet). I envy those who can.
Here's to a good week (in whatever it is you do)!

I've heard that DiCaprio's portrayal of the villain is spectacular.
Sometimes, you have to put the writing aside and just experience life - even if it's just watching movies! I can't work on more than one project at once, either. Sounds like you had a fun weekend. :)
I really want to see both of those. I haven't pulled a double-header in forever (I actually used to do triple-headers), so maybe this coming weekend! :)
Michael - Yeah, Leo was pretty good, but I wouldn't call him the villain so much than a slave owner. There is someone worse, and a surprise at that.
Jennette - Glad it's not just me, then (the one project at a time thing, that is). And it was a fun weekend.
DL - Do it!! It's fun.
Someone else recommended Silver Lining to me today. I'm going to have to see it.
Sandra - I hope you do. I really enjoyed it.
So many movies out right now that I want to see.
Linda - What's stopping you?
With the Steelers out that bugs Hubby.
Ivy - I'm so bummed with the teams remaining, I'm not sure I'll even watch the Super Bowl!
