Tsarina in The Uncool Way to Stab

In this heart-stopping rollercoaster, tsarina (Gwyneth Paltrow) is a hard-nosed secret agent with a problem. She must get to holdmycoat (Johnny Depp) before her archenemy, catelin (Kate Winslet), kidnaps him. Fighting for the honour of her former mentor, she makes her presence known at a subterranean stronghold. Early predictions are that this will be the highest grossing movie of all gross movies.

Now my question is, how much would I like to see Paltrow and Winslet in a brawl? I'd have to go see that, just for the weirdness factor. I really wouldn't mind looking like Paltrow on some days. She's got an old Hollywood line, and I dig that.

I've been up for awhile, doing not much of anything. Half hearted cleaning, a bit of reading, contemplating frying up eggs with steak. It is unseasonably warm in Texas this year. Our low temperatures are several degrees above the normal high temperatures. If there wasn't so much football on, I would watch A Perfect Murder over and over.

We've managed to do six loads of laundry today, so we weren't completely lazy. A load of dishes too, and I picked up empty cans and bottles. We even hung our clean clothes up for a change.

I just saw the craziest play of the OU/LSU game, a punt block where OU managed to snatch the ball away and land a yard from the end zone. Now they're having trouble scoring. Pretty harsh game so far, with some brutal hits. I'm torn as to which team I should be cheering for here. OU just scored, and hence the game is tied up 7-7. Go figure.

Car commercials baffle me. I just don't get whatever message they are trying to implant in my brain. Now food advertising always works on me. Curious. Advertising is both evil and brilliant stuff. The psychology of it is something I would love the time and money to study. I had only one media analysis course in college, which was sadly a front for the instructor to pimp his own book and force us to draw pictures with our off hand. But I had a great time deconstructing print advertisements in terms of angles, effects and whatnot.

I'm trying to figure out whether I need paperwork or cards for my vision insurance, which is a royal pain. Should have asked Brett last night, but we got to playing cards and all else escaped me. I played terribly last night, and lost both games by more than 100 points. My company is now outsourcing our HR to Fidelity, which was probably the biggest mistake ever.
