I'll be interested in your take on UGLY TRUTH. Our paper's reviewer hated it, but they hate things so often that I don't always believe them. It's low on my priority list to see, anyway. I'm so behind on movies that only the best make the list and often I don't even see them for at least a year or two, if ever. I do want to see the new Harry Potter in a theater.
Hi Pat
I just got back from 500 Days of Summer and in my humble opinion this is The Slumdog Millionaire of 2009.
Ugly Truth had its moments but overall was ugly.
Bill
I liked yesterday's questions better (g). Bummer on the two films being a bust.
MY agenda today ranged from laundry to getting Mom's room ready here to packing the last of the kitchen stuff (I hope) to cleaning both microwaves and scouring the oven and racks. Thank the Lord, that's done! We bring her over here tomorrow night.
Hi DR
Only one of the movies was a bust.
You just always stay so busy!!
I really do hope that you will get some peace after your mom leaves.
Bill
Not being busy isn't an option at the moment (wry s). Yes, after Mom moves things will be much quieter, but I'm finding that, while I'll be eternally grateful to pack the last box and clean the last whatever needs cleaning, the fact that she's no longer down the road isn't real easy to deal with at the moment. Change is always trauma, no?
Hi DR
Your feelings re your mom doesn't surprise me. It definitely will be an adjustment and if my experience of the last two weeks is a norm, you will be really lonely for four or five days then you will feel a tremendous amount of relief.
Bill
