Today I have an interview that could lead to me working for a different company for the first time in seven years. I don't feel nervous, exactly, but my rut hasn't been a particularly bad one.
Third Monday Movie Day
Movie of the Month: Delicatessen (Jean-Pierre Jeunet, 1991)
Delicatessen is another beautifully shot, dark but ultimately hopeful film from not-prolific-enough director Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Louison (Dominique Pinon, a Jeunet regular), a former clown, moves into a sad, rundown tenement in a rustic (post-apocalyptic?) world, answering an ad to be the building's handyman. The ad's been placed by the tenement's butcher, who draws in helpers, kills them and sells the meat to the tenants, who have little else to sustain them.
The butcher's daughter falls for Louison, and well, that's a movie right there. Highly recommended, and not as dark as it sounds. It's largely a comedy.
I didn't see any terrible movies this month, but the most disappointing was Easy A, a high-school romp very loosely based on The Scarlet Letter. A few good performances can't save the thing from being predictable down to the letter, even by teen comedy standards.

My mom was born on Friday the 13th, and she's aces. How bad can it be?

With the "major league" club tanking, this MLB.tv subscriber is having a hard time not switching over to the Rockies or Brewers or something until the injuries subside...

It looks like Red Chair was expanded from seasonal to permanent. Good news for PNWers.

I can't tell if Netflix is the greatest gateway to entertainment or the biggest procrastination tool ever. I suppose it can be both.
