Everyone's home now. The house gets so quiet when people who are supposed to be here leave. By which I mean one or more of the family members. Everyone's back now, which is nice.
I saw something really funny on the Rachel Maddow show today. She was doing a recap of her favorite moments of geek from 2009, and her #1 favorite clip was of a BBC documentary shooter getting humped by a parrot. The other guy making the film says, "You're being shagged by a very rare parrot!" This clip is so funny, its totally worth the effort of scouring the internet for a glimpse of it.
I still have no New Year's Eve plans, but mainly for lack of trying. I have a couple options, but I just haven't felt like committing to any of them as of yet. Deep down inside I kind of want to stay home, build a fire, study a bit, maybe watch a movie, maybe drink a manhattan or two...a quiet night alone could be just what I need right now. But who knows, maybe tomorrow I'll want to go out and go crazy.
Oh speaking of movies, tonight we watched Doubt. It was great. Not in the happy sense, but good none the less. I like the way a lot of the scenes were shot at a tilted angle instead of straight on. It kind of coincides with when things start to get really out of wack. In the scene where Maryl Streep's character is accusing the priest of being improper with kids there's a shot where he's on one side of the frame and the two nuns are on the other, and as he weighs their accusations it looks like his side of the frame becomes heavier. The movie was done really well. If you haven't seen it you really should.
Tomorrow I need to return exchange the movies I have now for new ones (I'm hoping to be able to snag a copy of 500 Days of Summer), and update my movie queue online. I also need to wrap/deliver/mail out the last of my holiday gifts. Somewhere in there I need to study, but I really don't want to. I think I'll get some coffee instead. That would be good...
I need to flip my sleep schedule, so I'm off to bed. Nite nite!
