Last night, I finally got around to seeing The Queen, which has been on my to-see list for months now. I called up one of the interns who also had not seen it. The movie is just as good, if not better than everyone says. It is honest, charming and endless fascinating. And personally, I found it rather amusing. (The Queen driving an old Range Rover or complaining about Blair's concept of protocol is hilarious!) Helen Mirren was flawless, even if some of her supporting cast were less so.
After the movie and a 32 oz thing of Coke, half a bag of jelly beans and some mini oreos, we were still pretty awake at midnight. So we walked down Clark to rent Little Miss Sunshine, which I love, but he hadn't seen. Walked back to my place (since they were tearing up Clark, the buses weren't running, but it was a pretty nice night for walking and looking in windows). It was great to see the movie again, and to anticipate the really special moments since he hadn't seen them.
Two Oscar noms in one night!

PS. It's starting to approach nice out, and I'm thrilled. And don't try putting broccoli in mac-n-cheese; it goes badly.
