You know what? No more wedding for now. Even I’m tired of myself.
So, I finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and I liked this one. I’m telling you, get Rowling a strong plot and she’s a lot more fun. I was telling John that I thought The Dark Knight suffered from J.K. Rowling disease. In many of Rowling’s books, its like she’s so excited to use these ideas that come up, that she just throws the kitchen sink into her books.
I felt that way with The Dark Knight, that Nolan just had so much he wanted to say, so many things he wanted to get in there, that the movie just felt like an overstuffed olive (which sounds delicious, is anyone else having eating binges lately?). It’s the movie equivalent of “take off one piece of jewelry before you leave the house”
I think Nolan and Rowling can benefit from my advice, and I’m sure they’re looking to chicagostories.blogspot.com to do just that.
I’ve started my next Pulitzer “Martin Dressler”, looks like Hixx’s kind of book, set in the late 1890’s in New York City, all about buildings and things. Me like.
We’re not watching anything on TV really, we never got into Mad Men…I know, I KNOW, we just didn’t and we tried, so…no go. I need to check out Dr. Horrible and we’re both totes into Last Comic Standing and Project Runway.
A few things to just mention:
John has a theory that Obama is going to overwhelmingly win the popular vote and McCain is going to win the electoral votes, and its going to start the long awaited civil war of urban vs. rural. (Rural wins by the by, I mean come on, I can’t even look at a cooked chicken breast without getting grossed out, much less learning to live on the land). I think it’s a pretty fascinating theory…
There are a lot A LOT of cats missing all of a sudden in our neighborhood, signs are going up every day. Where are all the cats going? Sweeny? Try a little priest…
Runway tonight. It’s all going to be okay.

I think I'm the only person in the world who didn't like Dr. Horrible. I couldn't make it past episode 1. Which is too bad, cause Fuzzy was so cute and so excited about it and me liking it. But I couldn't do it. Ah well.
"It’s the movie equivalent of “take off one piece of jewelry before you leave the house”"
I love this analogy. It's so right on--I am going to try to make a point to use it as often as possible/relevant. :)
Its okay Erica, I still love you the most.
