What Unhappy People Do

I found this article rather fascinating. I've been watching less and less television the last while, and am actually thinking of canceling my cable, as the three shows a week I like to watch are all available free online.

Stranger than Fiction

I'm curled up on my couch, crocheting a scarf and watching a favorite movie.

It's a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Eventually I'll go out and get some groceries and likely settle down with a book, but for now, I'm settled in with the story of Harold Krick.

Have you seen the movie "Stranger than Fiction"? If you haven't, you need to. It's absolutely fantastic in every way. So funny and hopeful and redemptive. And lines that make me laugh and laugh, delivered in such a deadpan way.

One of my favorites?
