The One Where I Wonder July 20, 2008

What exactly am I wondering? I’m wondering if the 26 pages I’ve written on my dissertation (at least 10 or more of them being written this weekend) are crap. They seem kind of crappy, but I haven’t gone back to proofread yet. This is due to the fact that I’ve been working on this thing since 9:30 this morning. I did take a break to eat lunch and dinner. It’s also due to the fact that they are probably pretty crappy and I don’t want to see them. I’m also wondering why this font is so tiny… is it just my laptop screen?

Anyway, let me give you a brief movie review. I did watch a movie on my day off this week.  Apparently, I should have been writing. But instead of writing I did housework and I watched Dan In Real Life. Brief synopsis: love triangle. This is another movie where Steve Carrell does some of his normal schtick, but not a lot of it. For another example of this, but to a lesser degree (less schtick), see Little Miss Sunshine – it’s AMAZING.  It gets 5 ROWRS. But I digress…

Dan In Real Life also has Dane Cook in it. I’m not a big fan, but he’s okay in this flick. It has a good ensemble cast and a good story. You may even cry. I’m not saying I cried, but I did. Wait, it’s possible I’m confusing my crying from when I watched Rendition on Friday night. Yes, I should have been writing. I’ll review Rendition later, but it has Jake Gyllenhaal – you know it’s going to get five somethings, just for him – forget plots and stuff.

Oh, so Dan In Real Life gets 5 renditions (not to be confused with the movie) of Let My Love Open the Door. That means 5 stars, for those of you who are sticklers for traditional rating systems.

I shall now go and read over what I have written today. Or, I will curl into a tiny little ball and cry in a corner. Or both.

ps – RIP Bob Yum – I wish I had met you
