Cute Paranoia

The follow up to Bridget Jones's Diary is here. It doesn't seem like it has been three years, but it has.

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
She got the guy. She lost the guy. She got the guy.
Needless to say, I am a sucker for the romantic comedy genre. I had a smile on my face for the entire movie. It was just plain cute. In past years, I've exhibited my own versions of relationship paranoia as have my friends. I've had the friends who have given me the not so great advice, which I listened to. I have been the friend giving the not so great advice, which was listened to.

Thanksgiving Visit

My mother arrived this morning. She will be visiting for the next two weeks, which translates to my eating good food. Nothing beats mom's cooking. ;)

Last one

The plan was to be in L.A. today to celebrate my friend's 30th birthday. That's it, she was the last one that needed to turn 30. The end of an era.

I teased her about her gift. Hinted it was something every 30 year old, single woman needed. Toys popularized by 'Sex in the City.' She was afraid to open her gift. hahah No, I didn't get her that...not this year.

I didn't go. Didn't want to drive in forecasted rain. Plus, I brought work home with me.

Excuse Me

I got an instant message from one of my co-workers...

co-worker: I NEED YOUR HELP!!! PLEASE!!!
me: ?
co-worker: My zipper broke.
me: [laughing uncontrollably] And how do you want me to help you?
co-worker: I don't know, can you think of something? Maybe you can unzip it?
me: How'd you break it anyway?
co-worker: Do we really have to discuss it now?
me: Well...

More Jude

Jude Law has been in many movies as of late, but I'm not complaning.

Alfie
Alfie was bittersweet...more bitter than sweet. It personified loneliness. Who hasn't known someone who mistakes countless sexual encounters as fulfilling only to wake up one day questioning the point?

Results

I can't explain it, I was shocked by the outcome but not necessarily surprised by it.

My two cents: if you waived your voting right, you waived your right to complain.

Sticker

I always get a kick out of the "I voted" sticker. I don't collect them by any means, but I made sure I got one. Frankly, I deserved it, I put a lot of time figuring out each of the propositions in order to make and informed decision.
