I need help and the movie The Help

I have been suffering some serious blues lately which is why I haven’t posted for a while. Just taking it day by day. Staring at the walls in a daze with a few days remaining before Burning Man means I’m going to be hyper-stressed before the long trek to the playa on Saturday. But I’m very much looking forward to the solitude of a six hour drive.

Last night we watched the Help. I really enjoyed it. I thought the movie was a pretty good portrayal of the book—as good as you can get in two hours. I wasn’t too keen on Emma Stone playing the main character Skeeter, but she did a good job of playing an awkward nerd. The acting through and through was fantastic.

[If anyone from my book club is reading this post, I wouldn’t have been able to make it in time to the San Mateo showing. We were at the AMC Van Ness theater just in time to catch two trailers before the movie started.]

    Wow I really have been out of the loop. Just saw this post. Everything okay? Feeling better Cath? I just told Skylen & her friend about Laugh Therapy today on our way to pick up Alden. We all had a good time in the car. 🙂

    Have a fun weekend my dearie!
