Random Wednesday

1. I saw Iron Man last night, which was just a good, fun movie. About ten minutes in, my gentleman companion leaned over and whispered that Robert Downey Jr. was doing a spot-on Vince Vaughn impression, which he totally was. I wonder how much Jon Favreau had to do with that...

2. I have so! many! paint chips! taped to my bedroom wall. I really have to make a decision soon, since I'm painting this weekend. Deciding things is hard!

3. I'm almost done with the edging on Kerry Blue. The last third of the last side seems to be taking as long as the rest of the whole freaking thing. I can't believe this project is almost done. It's been dragging on for a couple of years. Granted, I haven't been working on it actively that whole time, but still. Years. Having all of my other projects packed away for a couple of weeks has really helped me knock this thing out. That might be a good lesson to take away from the experience.

4. I loved Maggie Gyllenhaal's dress from the Costume Institute shindig.

5. I need to deal with the whole Mother's Day issue, which includes suppressing my irritation at being forced to participate in the stupid Hallmark Industrial Complex. Said irritation suppression is the part of the gift Mom never sees, which is a pity since it's the costliest part. Note to self: get over it and call a florist today.

You can paint your bedroom several colors, so you don't have to chooose just one...You can make every wall different, or the top of the wall one color and the bottom another. You don't have to stop at just one (color).

As for the Mom day thing, I got mine a nice little Japanese maple tree. It's much more "her" than cut flowers. Depending on your mom, maybe a donation in her name to a Myanmar charity (or one she supports)instead of flowers may be nicer for all concerned? I don't know, some moms are definitely "flower" moms tho... Good luck.
