I watched one of the worst movies I've seen, Revolutionary Road. I knew from the preview that I would hate the adaptation, but it was a free viewing, so I thought I'd give it a try. I've been a Richard Yates fan since high school, but his work doesn't translate into contemporary film. Why does every book have to be made into a movie? Don't answer that; I understand more than I wish I did.
Tried to go to the MOMA last night. Joe and I saw a little bit of everything, but Free Friday Nights are such a mess of people that it ends up feeling like I'm shopping at the mall.
I love a vice president who says things like:
“I’m the most experienced vice president since anybody.” (Joe Biden, last Wednesday.)
Tuesday's the BIG day! How excited are we? I wish I could go to DC for the festivities. Seems like one of the most not-to-be-missed events in my lifetime, but sadly I will have to settle for watching the inauguration on the television at work.
Speaking of television, tonight I'm going to watch the first episode of season three of Friday Night Lights. Go Dillon Panthers!
Update: Watched the first episode. So glad to have the writers of Friday Night Lights back from the strike and to see that they're restoring the show's integrity. Well done!
