Saturn's day! I went to a movie (cinema house) for the first time in years. The last time I went was about 5 years ago with GH. We saw Synecdoche NY. At that time, I had to go to the bathroom frequently during any 90-minute period. I just stopped going out to movies around then and we started to watch DVDs at his home.

Tonight, we saw Nut Job--a Korean-made animated film. What can I say? The film was squirrelly, to say the least. The best part of the film was the credits--which got more chatter from the audience than did the film. The plot was somewhat convoluted and had been forced in certain directions--making the flow a bit choppy. We saw the film in the digital theater--not the 3D one. I'm not sure that 3D would make it any better a film.

The grandkid sat virtually still for the film's duration and the seemingly endless previews. She's going through a control phase where she wants to have everything go her way--it's that or the highway with her. I was somewhat amazed that she sat through the longish film with so little of her normal sidetracking and forceful behavior.

She's much more flexible with my ex (her grandmother). She's being very recalcitrant with me and her mother. Time will no doubt change all this, but it is irritating at this time. She is really smart and has already figured out where she can press and where she has to hold back.

I didn't make it to Pilates class this morning. I sat down, for what I intended to be a short rest, and fell asleep for over an hour! I went out like a light!
