So yesterday I had to take my hair down from the French braid that Penny had put it in, not because I wanted to but because it was filthy and I had to wash it, which meant that if there was any braiding that had to be done, I was the one who had to do it.

And I managed! It didn't look as good as when Penny did it, but it served its purpose in covering my head. Not bad at all for a first try.

Then we went to the Academy and saw Mona Lisa Smile.

What an incredibly patronizing movie. Seriously, I felt as though I was being taken by the hand and patted on the head and told in an infuriatingly gentle tone that women don't have to marry and that modern art is good. I thought I was going to throw up.

There was some good stuff in it, the Julia Stiles section turned out in an interesting manner, and I truly loved the round-faced girl and the cousin, it may have been predictable as hell, but the performers were so sweet that I was rooting for them as hard as I could.

But the rest, bleh. I mean, the actors were working as hard as they could to overcome their roles as written, Marcia Gay Harden deserves an Oscar in the category of Making a Stereotype Appear Human, but it was an uphill battle.

And I got my Secret Santa package! It was much better than the one I sent, I'm a little embarrassed, but I'll try harder next year.

Today's horoscope:
Your friendly, familiar order unravels. Stay focused even as your frustration increases. Change is your friend once you learn how to ride it.

One year ago today:
No, wait, we went to the supermarket first and managed to get in a fight at the checkout stand, so I think that was some kind of a record, after only being in each other's presence for an hour or two!
