Final #1 is done. I have become a complete dork when it comes to school. I like the fact that I have gotten to the point in my life where I am proud to be a complete school dork. I work hard for that dorkyness. And it’s paying off.
I watched the preview for the new movie Greenberg this evening and it is now on my “must see” list. I don’t know what is drawing me in to these types of films so much, but I swear the second I see “Focus Features” at the beginning of the trailer, I pay a little closer attention. My last 2 movie loves were “Focus”. I am generalizing for sure, but I feel like this will be a good one. This type of film that I am referring to has a very raw, quirkiness to it. It feels a little “dated” in the sense that you almost feel like you are watching a 1970’s film…but you’re not. Maybe it’s not even the datedness of it, but the fact that the characters are not all done up, glamorized, Hollywooded…whatever you want to call it. Many of the lines that come out of it, make you feel like you are a part of an inside joke. It’s good stuff. I am hoping the film will be too.
So my counter balance this evening is the strange, somewhat uneasy feeling I am having about some people in my life at the moment. Have you ever had a time in a relationship (whether it be with a friend, a lover, a co-worker, a family member) where something happens and the entire interaction takes a different route. Almost like you are looking at that other person out of the corner of your eye because you are not sure what the next move, with either one of you, is going to be? Maybe it is a crossroad. Maybe it is the beginning of realizing that everything is not what it seems. Maybe it is just learning one piece of information about someone else that changes your mind about who you thought they were. Whatever it is, I am having that feeling with two very separate and entirely different people in my life right now and it is feeling very uneasy. It’s a feeling like I just caught one of them cheating on their husband, or shoplifting from Nordstrom’s, and we both know I caught them, but neither of us is saying anything about it. So we are left with that awkward uneasiness that is in the air that no one is talking about. There is an elephant in the room that no one is discussing, but in at least one of these situations, no one can seem to put their finger on the elephant. Maybe it's that we just can’t see the elephant yet.
