jesus. heath ledger just won best supporting actor. now don't get me wrong, he was great in the dark knight but the other actors in the category (sans tom cruise) were better nominees. especially phillip seymour hoffman. guh whatever. i'll go ahead and say it. they gave it to him because he's dead. please. you know you were thinking it too.
yesterday i got up at 10:00ish and went over to the midtown gym to meet mama C for a bodyworks class. these classes usually kick my ass and yesterday was no exception. let's put it this way. it hurts to sit on the toilet. after the gym, mama C and i went to phidippedes (i always get the spelling wrong, 'scuse) for new trainers (as mama C calls them) aka running shoes. i've been needing a good pair. glad i finally got them. they are ugly though. not as ugly as mama C's new ones ;).... the thing about phiddippides (or however you spell it) is they fit you in the best shoe for your foot with no regard to the aesthetic. you don't go into a running store for running shoes and expect high fashion. and my new trainers are certainly no exception.
afterwards, we went to Picadilly for lunch. I'd never been and have been passing Picadillys for years (seven). It's cafeteria style. It made both of us laugh. It wasn't bad but I don't think I'll go back until she and I are both blue hairs. Then it was off to Ansley Eye Care (love those guys) to order my contacts and almost order blue Marc Jacobs or were they Hugo Boss glasses? Since I didn't need them, I didn't order them, but I will be back. We parted at Ansley to go home, shower and get ready for our day at the movies. The day before we'd agreed to do a double feature. We planned it just right. We'd see Gran Torino (my pick) and then buy a snack at half time and head into Bride Wars (mama C's pick).
Gran Torino was awesome. Similar to Slumdog Millionaire, you really need to watch it. I cried almost the entire second half. It is wonderful. If you've never been an Eastwood fan, it doesn't matter. You will be after this movie. Such a great actor. He's not a wordy actor, but the emotion he can carry in his face is amazing.
Okay, so Bride Wars isn't Oscar-worthy and nobody in that movie is getting a Golden Globe, BUT it was entertaining. It was also "free"...hahaha! I haven't done the "double feature" i.e. sneak into the second movie in a looooong time. Fun though. Lots of fun. Afterwards we sat around the homestead and drank wine then went to Harry and Son's for dinner and drinks.
Damn I am realizing we spent almost 24 hours together! :)
After dinner it was my brilliant idea to go to MJQ. Actually we went to Dark Horse beforehand and it sucked. Actually let me be clear - it sucked because it smelled like vomit and cigarettes and there were no hot men. I mean throw me some eye candy at least. Anyway, THEN we went to MJQ. We were both drunk. MJQ sucked too because a) my dude who usually get me and my friends in free wasn't manning the door and b) it was all kids. I mean we danced for awhile but i felt like an old lady. so this old lady left about an hour later. UGH.
would have worked out today since i didn't do ANYTHING but again, it hurts to get in any seated position. super.
i am making white chicken chili tonight because i've had 3 cans of white beans in my cabinet. it actually looks good. smells great. i'm about to eat but i'll leave you with this...catherine keener & laura linney are overlooked actresses and they are BEAUTIFUL.
