Ha!
2002-10-08 - 11:31 a.m. Here's another entry. I've been thinking about yesterday's entry. IT's funny the way it works. I was cringing about it. I remembered it as having been gloopy and awful. But I read it again and found it quite restrained. Certainly I've had sex with people I never wanted to have children with. But I remember realizing that I really liked Kevin around the same time I realized that I could imagine having kids with him. I think it's a love thing -- OKay, enough. One of my coworkers really hated My big fat greek wedding. Too horribly stereotyping. Very very bad, and not funny. I think that's the point, though. Of course it's overdrawn, but it's sort of the broad version of what it felt like to be that woman. (She wrote it, after all.) I didn't think it was the best movie in the world, but I did think it was funny. I grew up in a large, disfunctional nominally catholic family, and I could relate -- I'm not explaining this very well, but personally, I think it's more important to have a sense of humor than to be politically correct. If you can't laugh at yourself -- Life does have pleasant bits, so you might as well enjoy them. Sometimes they even are the smoke rising straight up from the Chevron refinery! Or something -- Okay, off to work. Bye.
