Survival of a weekend

[mizarchivist]

Most of it was taken up with prepping and working the Flea, but I managed to have a cheerful and bouncy mental breakdown for most of it, so I call that a win.
What amazed me is that I survived the whole Flea experience enough to enjoy dinner at Addis with lifecollage and mangosteen, then did the marathon of bachelorette party for buxom_bey, which was entirely awesome start to last.
You may recall that I was chastising SMeG for not taking the Star role in Stardust. I take it back. Claire Danes ruled. Stardust ruled. It had some pretty major variations from the book, but I didn't have a problem with any of it, really. Princess Bride-worthy, entirely. I was also interested in every single preview (and there were many) that was shown.
I have noticed that summer is getting that tubucular cicada cough that signals the end is near. I'll miss the long days, but it's so nice to want to have blankets on to sleep, and the apples are starting to be in season. Cooking doesn't seem like such a heinous thing - as opposed to "use the stove?! Are you kidding??". Yep. I'll like it fine til the cold hurts when I go outside and the sun insists on being mostly absent.

Stardust

I saw Stardust Thursday. I couldn't see SMG playing it. My problem with Claire Danes is that every time she opened her month she reminded me of Gwyenth Paltro. Not sure if they had the same accent coach or what, but they used the exact same voice and accent. Otherwise i enjoyed the film. I thought De Niro was "Brillant!"

I see what you're saying- I bet you're right. Probably doesn't help that their natural pitch is similar.
