Sep. 4th, 2006 08:55 amWeekend's been decent so far. :-) Housecleaned on Friday and then went out to the lake for a little while, more housecleaning yesterday (and there will be more today, because we don't do it often, because we are both incapable of paying attention to dust).
Movie night was yesterday; watched--
1) The original Wicker Man. Which was so, so, soooo weird. I wonder what they're going to change in the remake. I'm pretty sure they're going to have to change a lot, especially since (SPOILERS AHEAD) for me, anyway, the emotional shock of the lead character's death was a little bit dulled by the fact that I'd spent the entire movie up to that point wanting to smack him. So . . . yeah.
2) Take the Lead. I don't care that it was a story I've seen onscreen 9,000,000 times. Antonio Banderas + tango = me owning it. Rawr.
And then I got up this morning and turned on the computer to check mail and then I thought-- wait a sec. Did that headline say what I thought it said?
There've been several times watching Irwin's show or reading about something he did when I've thought, "Wow, he was lucky to get out of that one." I know people are going to be making jokes about it, but if they're not done out of fondness, I don't think they're necessary. The guy did a lot for the environment, and though I didn't watch his show religiously I always liked him because he just seemed like a happy-go-lucky dork.
There is something to be said for the fact that he died while doing something he loved, but he still died too young and left a wife and two small children behind and I can't really find anything funny about that.
