Well, Music & Lyrics was not a great film, but I still had a few laughs and enjoyed it. Mostly because I like Barrymore and Grant. But the best thing was just taking a break and relaxing.

After the movie I went to my Mom's to get Will, who it turns out barely slept at all for his nap, which made me feel badly for my mom. I didn't want her to have to do anything, especially since she was preparing for having my grandma over for dinner. But she didn't seem bothered by it, and I ended up staying and spending time with my grandma (mostly so she could see William. He is always the scene stealer).

I have still been stressed because I have catching up to do--today I worked on resizing a logo I did on spec, which the client turned out to love (thus I got the job). The logo was originally done at a low resolution though, in the interest of saving time on a slow-moving, low RAM machine, and so it has come back to bite me. She needed it taken care of asap, and so I sat down to do it this morning. I was using the GIMP which has been great so far but I have to learn it, and as a result I got so little done that I started stressing again. I called my Mom to see if I could get some lunch with her to just get away from the computer, and then asked if she could watch Will for the afternoon so I could just focus. Well, that was all great until I remembered half way through lunch that I had forgotten to call my friend and ask her to send Kurt's lunch to work with her husband, who also works at the school. (long story, not interesting). SO Kurt was without food. So I dropped off Will at my mom's, drove out to my friend's house, picked up the food, took it to Kurt and asked him if he could pick up William on the way home from school. Good. That should make my afternoon free. I lost 50 minutes of time by the time I had finally finished that errand and arrived back at home, but it couldn't be helped. WELL, I work for awhile and fortunately make great progress because maybe 45 min after getting home, I get a call from my mom saying that Kurt is on his way home with William already! The Idea was for Kurt to work at school like he usually does until 430 or 5ish, coinciding perfectly with the end of Will's afternoon nap. But I couldn't explain this to Kurt because I saw him in the middle of a class, and had to assume he understood what I meant by "I wanted to get some work done this afternoon so Will is at Mom's." Kurt actually rushed to get out of work to pick up Will BEFORE he went down for his afternoon nap. Ugh. The good news is that Will slept well and I got the logo done and started the next project, and had a nice evening with Kurt.

LOST was interesting, but I am still so disappointed in this relationship drama between Kate & Sawyer. And somehow it always strikes me as superlame when she calls him "James" with emphasis. I know it isn't Evangeline Lily's fault; she's a great actress as we have seen. But the writers can't figure out what to do with these two I don't think. Their relationship needed a lot more time to marinate in hardship and frustration before them coming together. They rushed it, maybe to get ratings. I dunno. But they need to fix the situation somehow. I think it helped a bit to see Sawyer pining for her, though. There is hope.

The VW van was cool.

I also dislike it that Kate calls Sawyer James, even though it is his name. I wonder if it's intentional for us to dislike it as it helps us to stop and realize that the intimacy they've gained in the past few episodes is a sort of false intimacy and that both yearn for a greater intimacy but either don't know how to gain it or are afraid to gain that intimacy.
