brokenrecordI alluded to it in that post a few days ago, but I figured I'd state that I'm participating in the 24 hour, no-content LJ strike on Friday from midnight to midnight GMT (so, 5 PM Thursday night my time to 5 PM Friday night). I imagine everyone's heard about this by now so I'm not going to search around for the the post that explains what's going on, but if you haven't, let me know, and I'll find a link.
Anyways, today I got my hair cut (nothing major, just trimming split ends) and then went to see Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day with my mom, which was really cute. It's not the most brilliant film ever, but it's also not trying to be. It's just lighthearted and really fun (although extremely short; it's barely over 90 minutes). Frances McDormand and Amy Adams are great, but Lee Pace. Oh, god. I love Lee Pace. His accent! His SINGING! Watching this really made me miss Pushing Daisies and wish that it could come back before next season. It also makes me really want to do a Wonderfalls rewatch and, of course, my DVDs are back at school, since I felt like doing a Wonderfalls rewatch last fall while watching Pushing Daisies but my DVDs were at home then, so I brought them to school after winter break. Oh well. If I have time and still feel like it, I'll do it next week. It's only 13 episodes, it shouldn't take that long.
I also watched the pilot of Miss Guided. I like Judy Greer normally, but I wasn't that impressed with her. I wasn't really that impressed with the show in general. The confessionals were kind of weird and difficult to get used to, and there were very few laugh-out-loud moments. I don't know. I'll probably watch the two episodes that air tomorrow night just because... I have nothing better to do (and it'll be during the strike! I'll really need to find ways to keep myself entertained).
Ok, off to watch Torchwood now!
