Sorry – been hard to journal lately… Feels like I’ve been running from task to task for the last few days… not in that hectic way… no… a really good way… like I’ve got all sortsa traction on all fronts right now.

Ironic… When I’m being productive – my journal suffers… Guess it’s all “productivity” – but I’ve only got so much bandwidth to work with.

Snickernote worthy:

We had one of those Netflix blackouts where we’ve been movieless for the last few days… This caused us to haul out the DVD binder and get into our own library for a change.

We grabbed Kevin’s favorite movie,…. “Highlander”…

Yeah… He’s in that age bracket that REALLY digs the sword slinging trilogy… This is the same bracket that really thinks Europe’s “The Final Countdown” is a rockin tune.

Seen the show Arrested Development? Familiar with the character Job? The writers of the show deftly sketched that tiny two-year window that I’ve started referring to “Generation Cheese”.

Cheese indeed… I hadn’t watched The Highlander in well over a decade if not more…. My memory of the flick was fairly neutral but not negative.

Oh… My… godness… What a silly movie… silly? wait – not maybe that’s not right… I mean the story was fine and all… But I was captivated by the super silly cinematography. Gratuitous crane and swoopy loopy steady-cam.

On revisiting the the 1986 “classic?” – I also realized a few new things:

1) Christopher Lambert exhibits all the facial acuity and expressiveness of a dolmation.

2) Girls hairstyles in the 80’s made it look like everyone was walking around with really pissed off animals on their heads.

huh.

(insert clever serial ending here)
