Favorite Holiday; Movies

Tonight is my favorite holiday: Daylight Savings Time. It's not really a holiday; actually, it's not a holiday at all. But, to me, and every other lazy human being in parts of America that observe daylight savings, it is a holiday. That extra hour of sleep is always so sweet and so beautiful, it's like a stick of butter wrapped in bacon... or, like your favorite dessert, whatever that may be (mine is butter and bacon). Not only that, but tomorrow, I have to be at work at 10 AM. Yet, thanks to daylight savings time allowing us to return to standard time in the middle of the night tonight, I don't have to be at work until today's equivalent of 11 AM. So, thank the farming community for falling back - the only good part about the onset of winter. If you see a farmer today, thank him/her (don't know how to spot a farmer? look for someone wearing overalls, wearing a straw hat, and chewing on a piece of long grass - those are dead giveaways).

I saw American Gangster and Gone Baby Gone today in the Loews Cineplex 2-for-the-price-of-1 special. They wouldn't take my free movie pass because American Gangster was too new, so I made sure to pay for one movie and see 2. Because fuck them, that's why. American Gangster was alright - entertaining, I guess, and a bit over the top. Denzel Washington played the same damn character he plays in every single movie; the same character that won him an oscar for Training Day. It's a good character, I guess, but come on - seriously, it's the same goddamn role in every movie. Gone Baby Gone was good, but it was pretty depressing. The plot was a bit convoluted in its attempt to be edgy and shocking, but I'd say it was better than American Gangster. Another factor was length - AG was almost 3 hours, GBG was a more normal 2 hours. But, as I said, GBG was pretty heavy, and because of the questions of morality the film posed, I was forced to drink a beer and eat chicken fingers afterwards. Forced. Delicious chicken fingers though (thank you, Clery's).

That being said, I'm going to go enjoy my extra hour of sleep before working tomorrow. I suppose I'm still going strong on posting "every day". Good luck tomorrow to the Detroit Lions, who are taking on The Denver Broncos while I am at work. If they win, you'd better believe Monika will hear about it.

Happy Sunday, ya'll.
