Coming of Age

This has been an entertainment-intensive holiday. I was kind of vague as to which day it was, and when people tell me, happily, that they have Monday off, they seem unsurprised when I say, “Hey! I don’t have to go to work Monday either!” But even though I never go to work, and even though I eat whatever I want all day long on regular days, this has been a period of chocolates, wine, cookies, and entertainment media products.

First I saw Kiki’s Delivery Service, which is a story of a young witch coming of age. It’s almost as sweet and cute as Cute Overload.

Then I read The Golden Compass, which is about a young non-witch coming of age.

Then I watched Sin City, in which Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, and Clive Owen kick a lot of ass, and nobody learns any heartwarming lessons.

Next, wine, pasta, and of course, cookies.
