Young Adult

Image
There has been lots of buzz that Young Adult could be a "dark horse" Oscar contender, and I was interested to see it, especially at an early screening. I generally like director Jason Reitman's movies a lot ( Juno, Up in the Air, Thank You for Smoking , etc.), and he worked with writer Diablo Cody on Juno , which is one of my favorite movies. Unfortunately,  Young Adult  ended up not really being "my cup of tea," though perhaps others will like it better. Mavis Gary (Charlize Theron, Hancock ) is a ghostwriter of a young adults series, Waverly Prep, which has just been canceled. She needs to write the last book in the series, however, and she has no inspiration for it. Sick of the random guys with whom she's been having one-night stands, she convinces herself that her high school sweetheart, Buddy Slade (Patrick Wilson, TV's A Gifted Man ), is the one she is meant to be with, even though he is married with a newborn daughter, and so Mavis returns to h

The Friday Five, 9/11/20: 5 things I've been up to this week

Quarantine, end of week 26, which makes this 50% of the year. But more importantly: where were you on 9/11/2001? I still remember it: I was in my freshman year English class, and they announced over the loudspeaker that a plane had hit one of the World Trade Center towers. I turned to a friend and was like "What's going on?" and she said something like "I don't know but this is very bad."

Grand Haven, MI beach and pier What I've been up to this week: A much-needed vacation . My last vacation or even my last trip was January in Vegas, before COVID-19 began. I've literally taken 0 days off of work this summer except for the Monday after the weekend of July 4th. Between that and my house stuff, I really needed a vacation. My boyfriend has Mondays and Tuesdays off work so we tra

The Friday Five, 9/4/20: 5 things I've been up to this week

Quarantine, end of week 25. My house is STILL not done but I at least now have carpet! There are only small things left to do. This week went by pretty fast, and I've started patio dining, at least until the weather gets colder. Chicken Cacciatore, from Dinnerly What I've been up to this week: Being poked.  Had my B12 shot yesterday—in the past 6 months, I was allowed into the actual doctor's office like once, and usually they just do it in the hallway of the building—and tomorrow is infusion day. I had to see a skin doctor earlier in the week for an issue, too, which also involved me being poked :(. After my infusion the fun part of the weekend begins though—we are going out for my boyfriend's birthday, either to Chop House (Ann Arbor) or Eddie V's (Troy) and then will be going to the Holland/Grand Haven area for the long weekend.  Eating out.  I'm comfortable with patio dining as long as there is social distancing and it's outdoors. We snagged
