good day sunshine!

i think that's part of a chorus of some 60s song. who knows?

today fucking rocked! how gorgeous was it?! very, if i may answer my own rhetorically posed question.

so - movies? i met up with a new acquaintance and had some brunch and went to the movies downtown. i love the fox theatre because it's clean, big, stadium and mostly indie.

transamerica. i'm SO glad i got to squeeze this movie in before the oscars. you keep hearing about the best actress race really being between reese witherspoon and felicity huffman. as i like to say, i want to be an informed dissenter during the oscars. i digress. felicity huffman was superb as a pre-op MTF transexual named Sabrina Claire Osborne. i friggin' love that name. anyway, it's basically 'a funny thing happened on the way to operating room'. she discovers she has a son. road trip ensues and the whole 'really facing yourself' drama plays out. i won't talk more as to not ramble. talking about it won't ruin anything or become a spoiler but it's such a nice little story that it's best to just see it on screen. i truly enjoyed how it ended also, it was not so hollywood with a little red bow on it. some things just aren't easily resolved. a-

so that was a good movie viewing experience, well, except for the alarm that went off when there was 20 minutes left. so after that i got home and rested for about 20 minutes before i had to go back out and meet d&m for dinner at tin shed. I LOVE TIN SHED! then we all headed over to m's and just hung out. actually, we danced. m claimed she couldn't dance but it wasn't really true. we showed her a few moves though.

d has a fascinating theory about racial differences with dancing. she's all "the main reason a lot of white people get off rhythm is because they stay on the 1 and 3 beats while black people usually move to the 2 and 4 beats". so i watched them dance and i observed myself and lo and behind she was right!!!!! and the thing with the 1 and 3 beat is that they are awkward beats- they begin and stop suddenly - there is no flow to them. see if you notice...
