Labor Day Weekend
-
Friday night we saw the movie "(500) Days of Summer"---really good movie, about a guy more in love with a girl than she is with him. It was a pretty fresh take on movie relationships, though it had a few movie cliches. Example: The scene in which the guy stuck in a dead-end job has a breakdown at a work meeting and tells everyone just what he thinks of this job, then storms out. Also: Every movie character has a job that they have accepted in lieu of pursuing their REAL dream (to be an architect, to open their own flower shop, to design and sell their homemade jewelry). And their stuckness in their job reflects their stuckness in their life/relationship; they often must often learn to pull themselves together and pursue their dream job before they can have a successful relationship. Cf. The Runaway Bride and many, many others. Can't someone just be an insurance agent for once? Without any other hidden creative talent?
Saturday Eve, Mary, and I celebrated Mary's birthday. Mani-pedis, dinner at PF Changs, coffee and dessert outside at the Cheesecake Factory. Many, many hours of talk.
I saw my first hummingbird out on the deck today. They're so small! Then when we took Rocky for a walk down by the stream, we saw a family of deer. Gorgeous day today.
