Days and days

Happy birthday, Michele. The spider plant is still alive. Happy birthday, C. My reality is still fiction.
Amongst the J & K group, 3 major separations in as many weeks of long-time couples. Is there something in the air? Or do statistics catch up with us all at once?
Movie 1: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - A whimsical, well crafted remake; worth seeing. In hindsight, the previews for this movie were awful; whoever edited them should be buried alive under gobstoppers.
Movie 2: Le Cercle Rouge - 70's French sort-of gangster-noir flick; the bad guys suffer for their trespasses but we get a nice lesson in metallurgy along the way. Artsy, interesting.
Movie 3: Blue - First in the 3 colours triad; I'll probably mention this again once I see the other two (go, Netflix, go). When you lose it all, it's a thin line between giving up, hiding out, and rebuilding. In a sense, a testament to the power of music to keep us from slipping away into the darkness.
