1. If there were ever a contest for EXTREME! Filing! I would so win.
2. Today is the third time this week I've dropped someone off at the airport. Thursday I pick Mark up. While we were waiting in line for the check-in counter to open, I noticed that there were a lot of people going to the Philippines. How did I know? Because they took their lives with them in boxes and boxes of stuff with their addresses on them, along with their luggage. It was a madhouse.
3. While eating dinner at my mom's house today, I flipped through the channels and landed on The Golden Palace, which was a short-lived spinoff of the Golden Girls. This episode was about racism and featured a young Don Cheadle, uttering the by-now-familiar-but-usually-dismissed admonishment, "Blanche, when I tell you something's bothering me, you need to take me seriously." Uh? How the hell was this bad eighties sitcom more useful in five minutes than an entire episode of Black.White? I think my world has been turned upside down again.
4. Kaitlin gets crankier than I do when she's hungry. I checked her homework and she's improving, but she really needs work on reading comprehension. And grammar. Like most immigrants to the U.S., she has the most trouble with tenses.
5. Tony Leung to star in English-language movie! *sigh* I've heard his English before - it's beautiful. The original lead character will be changed from an American to an American-born Chinese, played by Leung. - I don't know if that's ever happened before.
