Woke up excited about the start of Season 3 of Downton Abbey. Rarely do I stay home in order to watch TV but tonight yes, attending a Downton Abbey viewing party. My philosophy of TV is, if I am HOME and it is on, I might watch it for 5 minutes.
Saw a good play today, Assistance, at the Wilma in Philadelphia. We have season tickets and this year, the weather has greatly cooperated. Last year it rained or snowed every day our seats came up.
This was a rapid fire comedy involving the office of a really bad boss, who we never meet. Some of the assistants manage to get promoted and some get fired or burned out.
I had to stop listening to The ruins, the book by Scott Smith. Things were going from bad to worse and when two guys decided to amputate the legs of the guy who had fallen down the mine shaft and then been eaten by the man-eating plant, I couldn't stand it another minute. They were never going to be rescued anyway. Some story lines are just too horrible for me to even cope with. That is how I feel about going to see that new movie called Django unchained. I can't imagine why anyone would want to see a movie about slaves fighting each other to the death. What is WRONG with Americans?
