mizarchivist | Last few days, highlights

Yesterday was the due date - despite middle of night shenanigans, no luck. Back to work today. I've cycled back to not so zen/resigned and firmly (not really) of the belief I will always be pregnant.
Went to see The Help with book club ladies last night. Not bad. Not awesome. They had to simplify some bits of plot which are inevitable if you want a movie less than 3 hours long.
FYI: Richardson's peach ice cream is made of awful and causes pregnant women (OK, just me probably) to cry. Mint chip/patty still safe if you were fond of mint in the first place.
I've been painting when at home. You know, the decorative kind. That has defused some of my restlessness, but only gets me so far.
Tiger in the Well is done- ended fine. Proven Guilty (Dresden Files #8) started only yesterday and already 3+ hours in. James Marsters reading is a very pleasant distraction indeed.

quiet_elegance has hit a lull at work and gets a few weeks off- good timing. If they hadn't hit a lull, he wouldn't get a check (unemployment) for when he takes off for Crime Fighter's arrival and first days. This job has to be done by 11/11/11 and they're not close to done, so this isn't like previous under-employment moments. So.... whew.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'd been on the fence about "The Help" and probably won't spend precious movie tokens on it now.

If you want photos for uploading of the new works let me know. Camera finger is itchy (though may get exercise if we end up going away next week).

Ah yes, documentation-- very likely to scan 'em since they're flat. Not that I have one at home.

I have been thinking I need one last pregnancy shot to show FULL TERM- but whenever I think of it, I'm by myself or so grumpy I daren't given the default glare I'd give the aperture.

I was actually really excited to see the film since I hadn't read the book yet, but the Phoenix had a pretty negative review. I think I'll read the book first (normally I don't; I tend to dislike the films), and maybe rent it later.

I have absolutely seen worse movies in my time, worse adaptations. This one gets a B-, I think. Not bad but I probably wouldn't ever want to own a copy. Rentable, sure. Cable view even better.

:nods: That sounds about right - mostly, the review convinced me that reading the book first might give me a better experience (filling in more context).

As someone who has a lot of family in the south, I find the topic very interesting. I'll definitely be hunting it down for personal reasons.
