aurelia, what did you think of the last scene of Awake?
I was so sucked into Jason Isaacs performance that it just felt beautiful and not at all cliched.
As soon as he stepped out of the shrink's office into the bedroom I thought, "OMG, he's going to wake up before the accident ever happened!" which turns out to be a lot more positive way to think about it than, "WTF? It was all a dream?!"
And I find the Lynchian aspects to be utterly delightful. How could you not love Wilmer Valderrama
in a penguin suit
? And BD Wong and Cherry Jones
arguing about which one is real
? I love it.
Ooh, I like that interpretation. I had the WTF reaction and just didn't know what to do with it, especially as I had enjoyed it so much up until then (especially the parts you mention. I mean, really, every show needs more
penguins and/or penguin suits,

Eta: Let's start lobbying the IOC, Zen! How hard can it be to get a sport added?
Argh -- this guy said he could "leave now" to come buy my old computer like an hour ago! I want to dry my hair! But don't think I would hear the door, so I keep putting it off.
Ah ha ha! Of course he got here right after I posted. Good one.
Tom, that's awesome! You should set up an etsy shop--we would definitely buy your photos.
I love the one in the subway station with the stealth pug in the backpack. LOVE. I would buy the hell out of that. (I don't know how one buys the hell out of something, but I would do it, by god.)
Just like buying it, but with gusto?

I support this notion and would patronize it. I have nothing on my walls. No. Thing. Just sayin'.

ION, I think I inadvertently agreed to be the ring leader for a road (well, sky) trip to Mexico City with some old friends to visit another old friend and his lovely family. Like I have money or something. Um.
Guess I need to renew my expired passport. Why did I let it expire? Stupid.
Olympic level table tennis is a violent game. You do not want to get on the bad side of someone who can swing a paddle like that.
There's a table tennis league that meets in my gym on Saturdays, and I am amazed at them. I wouldn't have considered it "athletic" before, but this is definitely NOT beer pong.
