Weekend Update...

So here is the weekend update. I finally cleaned my bathroom and that was good. I am cleaning challenged right now and am able to do my daily chores but not the real clean. I will get it eventually. I just cannot get that vacuum out and do the deep clean. Having trouble with that. I need to, just don't feel like it. Honestly don't want to. It is a little dusty in here, I have to admit. Ugh.

I got a new shower curtain and rug for my bathroom and am redecorating that. Really lovely designed one and a blue rug. Totally excited about that. I think it will look cool. I think it all matches the paint on the wall and all that so cool. Minimal investment and that room will look much better.

Today I am going to the movie Argo - it is about Iran and the hostage crisis there in the 70's, starring Ben Affleck. I am really looking forward to this one and have been for a while. A friend of mine is taking me for my birthday treat. We have a little birthday tradition going on for that. So fun. We get cupcakes and popcorn from Trader Joe's and make a whole day of it. Yays!

My mom's cat passed away this week. Wyeth was 19 and a big Maine Coon. He was a bit neurotic but a gorgeous cat. My mom is pretty sad about that but had to make the decision based on his health situation. That is how it goes. Boo has to go in for tests in a few weeks. Will see how she is doing on her CRF and renal stuff. She sleeps a lot but is eating fine and seems ok. Chugging along there. I am prepared for all eventualities.

Anyhoo. Sunday posting it up. Thank you to Sian265 for the lovely v-gift for my birthday and hope you are all having a good weekend!

Argo Fuck Yourself!!!!! (movie review)

Once you see the movie, you will understand what my subject line means. Argo, the film is directed by the very talented Ben Affleck who also stars in the film as the CIA operative engineering the cover story...anyhoo, I am getting ahead of myself.

Times were tense, this movie is tense. It has you grinding your popcorn into flour as you watch what happens in this movie. I don't want to give ANYTHING away. Good stuff, I felt stress watching it and totally was into the whole situation they were in. As far as empathy goes, I felt that and really wanted them to make it.

They used the backdrop of actual big shot, real events that were recognizable from news coverage and then took us inside the more intimate experience of what happened in Iran with these 6 specific people hiding in the Canadian embassy.

So that is all I have about this film with out giving it away. Great film, interesting, tense and it was fun to see the styles and gadgets of that era. Great props and costume.

This filled in a big part of history for me as it is a declassified mission of the CIA.

Cool. Argo fuck yourself! (they say this in the film, alot)

While this might not be much of a movie review, I hope I convey enough of the film for you to find it interesting.
