Unmatched Socks— 8/6/12
1. Fifteen minutes before I was to leave for my first appointment with this therapist, I get a phone call from my doctor’s office. My therapist won’t be able to see me at 8am and I need to reschedule. I hope this isn’t a reoccurring trend. Getting up an hour early on a Monday of all days is not high on my list of Things I Would Like To Do. So I must wait another week…
2. This weekend, I saw a rather awful movie called Prince Valiant, released in 1997. It’s one of those movies that was produced in another country, in this case Germany, but the cast is English speaking. It stars Stephen Moyer, of True Blood fame, in the titular role. His love interest is a princess played by Katherine Heigl. As I’m watching this movie, I make two observations: Katherine Heigl is ridiculously beautiful, and Katherine Heigl has been in some horrible movies. I’m struggling to think of one movie she has made, besides Knocked Up, that wasn’t terrible. It’s not that I think she’s a bad actress; she has an Emmy, and she was rather good on Grey’s Anatomy. But, as a movie actress, she has been dropped into this barrel labeled Awful Formulaic Romantic Comedies. Even the best actor can look like a utter moron in a rom-com. But after a string of such bad movies, you have to start wondering if it is the actor making these lousy choices.
3. It might be best served if my therapy appointments are on Monday. Based on my mood this morning and on many other Monday mornings, this is the most likely day for me to experience a mood crash. I can feel those tendrils trying to reach in and pull me down. So far, I’ve resisted and kept myself level. 4. I haven’t watched one minute of the Olympics. Not. One. Minute. 5. Sometimes it takes two days to respond to a beautiful email. That’s all I’m saying about that.
