Recs of all kinds

[next_to_normal]

I'm watching Dexter (don't worry, I'm abiding by the results of the poll, but Rome and Six Feet Under weren't available to stream) and waiting for my parents to arrive for the weekend. I'll probably have thoughts on Dexter next week, but for now, here's some other recs.

I watched a couple movies this week - The Hurt Locker, which is about as amazing as everyone said it was, and Carolina, which pleasantly surprised me. I was expecting a typical romantic comedy - it stars Julia Stiles and involves her best friend who secretly pines for her while she's oblivious - but it turned out that the relationship drama was rather perfunctory, and what sucked me in was the family drama (yes, I am predictable). Julia's the oldest of three sisters who were raised by their wacky grandmother (Shirley MacLaine), and is a bastion of normalcy in her eccentric family. It's really sweet. I love families!

Finally, this is random and doesn't fit in a category, but cleolinda blew my mind a little bit, so I want her to blow yours, too. As it happens, I parted my hair on the other side yesterday, just to see if there was a difference. No one else noticed, but I found it rather annoying to have to keep forcing my hair to go against its natural instincts. Oh, well.
