All week I've thought we'd get so many things done this weekend. Well, for those of you who know me, you won't be surprised to hear that didn't so much happen.
The wallpaper is gone, but other than that very little happened at all. We moved some boxes around. The boxes are still packed. They've just been moved to a room where they can't be seen. We still don't have new furniture. We still haven't painted.
But, we did see a movie. "There Will Be Blood." And it's excellent. Daniel Day Lewis almost made The List.
You know The List. The List that Dave and I started almost five years ago. It's a list of famous people that we're allowed to leave the other one for with no questions asked, no hard feelings and nothing but admiration of the other for picking such a person. To explain The List I should say that most of the time the people on it are people we wouldn't actually ever meet, but should we, we're gone and the other can't be mad about it. Sure, it's strange, but Dave and I are strange people.
Last I heard, this was Dave's list:
Kelly Willis
Kate Winslet
The girl from the Right Guard commercials
Cat Power
My list is:
Clive Owen
Josh Brolin
Colin Firth
Ralph Fiennes
Really? Look over my list. Is it just me, or do they all look a lot like Dave? With the exception of Josh Brolin they all look marginally like him, except with an English accent.
Guess that means I really am the Anglophile everyone says I am. Or maybe it just means I really love Dave...with an English accent.
