Can't Think of a Title
You know who LOVES the movie Titanic? TNT, that's who. They play this movie all the time, or at least it feels that way to me. I end up watching it every time, too. Titanic is to TNT what A League Of Their Own is to TBS. And literally as I just typed that, the network cut the movie off to bring major league baseball coverage, live. Fuck you, TNT! Now I'll never know how the story ended. I wonder if that ship ended up sinking? Guess what outcome I don't care about though? The outcome of Angels and Red Sox game that they just started airing, that's what.
Channel.. changed.
The movie Marie Antoinette is on another station and it's the part of the story where Antoinette's mother is writing her a letter to say she needs to get up on her husband and produce an heir already. What an uncomfortable letter to receive from your mom. I'm ready for one of these movies to portray the women and men of this particular age in a more accurate way. I have been to Versailles, and history class for that matter, and I've seen the paintings.. Marie Antoinette looked nothing like Kirsten Dunst. Quite a homely bunch, they were. And can you even imagine how bad those people smelled in the summer with all those clothes and wigs on? Yummy.
This past week Kevin invited me along to a GenArt event downtown hosted by Pete Wentz. He's about 2 feet tall by the way, Pete Wentz is I mean, not Kevin. Kevin is a member of GenArt so he goes to events throughout the year. GenArt showcases local talent in music, film, arts, etc. This particular event is the yearly big bang/hoo-rah and largest event. I was honored to be invited to VIP-it-up with K. Huge fashion show (with open bar, wee) featuring local talent, giant after-party at a loft in the West Loop (with open bar, wee) then an after-party at a bar in the Gold Coast. Very fun.. maybe too much fun for my own good on a Wednesday night but well worth the hang-over and the tiredness the next day. I did misplace my big gift bag somewhere along the way though. Something about copious amounts of champagne makes me forgetful of where I put things. I love free shit so I definitely mourned the loss of my gift bag but the time was fantastic.
The rest of the week and this weekend was business as usual. Work and showings this weekend and a couple of appointments today as well. I'm craving for a coke pretty bad, so I think I'll go make that happen.
