Valentine's Day etc.

Now that the fresh excitement of going back to work has worn off, I can get back to my normal writing and whining. Today is Valentine's Day and we had the grandparents booked to come over so we could go out but I suspect they won't feel comfortable driving over tonight. Fair enough, I understand. I think we'll end up with take-out and maybe I can convince Krazy to watch one of the romantic movies that I own. Hmm..do I have any? Maybe Besieged might work...

Last night we watched Childstar and it was a nice mix of comedy and drama. It wasn't Don McKellar's best film, but I completely understood his message. Society messes up child stars and then we don't bother trying to help them make some sense of their life. Anyway, CBC wrote up a nice review if you want a more comprehensive critique.

Nothing much else going on - one of my co-worker friends has surprised everyone by getting hitched in St. Lucia (it happens tomorrow)! We all got invites in the mail to show up at SAW Gallery in a few weeks for a reception! We heard great news from other friends that they're expecting their second child this August. And yesterday I got a whole shitload of family history on my maternal grandfather's side from a distant relative's husband. I'm looking forward to making sense of it all.

That's it and that's all. I'm taking suggestions for take-out ideas!
