One of my favorite bands is Blue Rodeo, a Canadian band. Their album “5 Days in July” is one of my most favorite albums ever. And the song “5 Days in May” is one of my most favorite songs ever. In fact, I wrote one of my very first blog posts about it. Listen to it now!

When I rent movies, I have a tendency to choose either dumb movies that I know will make me laugh or movies that will break my heart. Today was a break-your-heart day. I watched “Conversations With Other Women,” with Aaron Eckhart and Helena Bonham Carter. I was on the verge of tears throughout the second half of the movie, just because I knew how it would end. And of course it ended the only way it could end. I think you have to have a certain amount of life experience to enjoy this movie, not necessarily a one-who-got-away, just someone from your past that you couldn’t make it work with, no matter how much you both wanted it to work. To counteract all that melodrama, I also rented “Anchorman” with Will Ferrell. (The yin and yang of Blockbuster.)

I am supposed to be working from home tomorrow but I don’t know that I will. I have a file to rewrite and edit and have been too scared to look at the original to see what I have to work with. I seem to work well when I have a certain amount of distraction. Last week I was very productive when I spent a few hours at Panera. So maybe tomorrow I’ll go into work early to work out, depending on how icy it is outside, and then hit Starbucks for a cinnamon dolce latte and a few hours of general eligibility requirements. Good times.
