sleep gratitude
Thursday, April 26th, 2012With a major project deadline looming by close of business tomorrow and an another by next Tuesday – I’m a busy coder lately. But throw a half day for my kids on top of that, and now, I’ve got to be running at even higher RPMs. Thankfully, my sleep has been good since the nasal spray diagnosis by my doctor. Boy, it feels good to be well rested. I’ve never had much trouble with sleeping and now, I have a new found respect for folks with sleep issues. Tough, tough stuff.
Movie Reviews…
Martha Marcy May Marlene
- very good film. Slow moving and dense at points, but heavy subject material, so warranted. A woman leaves a cult and attempts to get back to some sort of life. Her sister takes her in to live with her and they struggle through undoing the mental and physical torture she endured as a member of the cult. Not a lot of action, but some incredible scenes, and a great open-to-interpretation ending.

- ugh, the beginning of this movie is tough to watch as someone that was part of a layoff at one point during my professional career. The film is really well-acted, a subtle financial drama depicting the beginning of the housing bubble collapse from behind the doors of one of the largest investment firms on Wall Street. Brutality in a business suit is conveyed without tearful scenes of middle to lower income families losing their homes and livelihoods.
- this documentary on the juicing movement was definitely inspiring and it may have given me the path to getting my uber pickey 10 year old to get his daily vegetables. With the amount of cancer and heart disease in my family and Abbe’s, reducing the amount of meat intake and increasing the veggies is never a bad idea. Abbe and I are going to do a juice fast when the time is right (aka – when the kids are not home for the first three days when people get really cranky). That said, we absolutely will be consulting our physicians before hand. Great film too, funny and very likable, inspiring characters.
- OK, so to enjoy this film… at the exact moment you hit Play, you’ve got to stop thinking. If you are able to do so, there is hope that you may enjoy this… ahem, film.
- this move was decent. It certainly had enough big name members in the cast. It’s frightening. It does have a good amount of realism and the acting is decent, but the movie just kind of fizzles out as the cure (sorry, I should have said spoiler alert there) is found and people start putting their lives together.
