"Puppet wrangler? There weren't any puppets in this movie!" – Crow T. Robot
Another day of not a whole lot. I’m enjoying these days off, but I’m starting to feel like I should be using them a little more productively. The most interesting thing I did today was watch Joan Rivers: A Piece of a Work on Netflix. I’m not exactly a Rivers fan, but the documentary is brutally honest and often very funny despite the current of sadness that runs through her career and life.
Maybe I’ll do something more interesting tomorrow.
I’ve been putting together a “best of” mix for 2010, like I tend to do every year. Here’s one that just didn’t make the cut: “World News” by Local Natives.
Today managed to be even less eventful than yesterday, which is almost impressive in and of itself. I wrapped Christmas presents, I read a little bit, I watched Ink. I liked doing all of those things. That is all.
I didn’t like so much when my kneeling chair suddenly broke; I banged it against the wall, and the not very high-quality wood it’s made of splintered at the base of one wheel. There’s a cardboard box sitting underneath it now, keeping it level, and so it’s still about as useful as it ever was. But it’s not remotely portable. And it looks like a broken chair with a box under one side. I knew it wasn’t the greatest kneeling chair on the market, but I didn’t expect its legs to snap in half less than a year after I bought it.
