Reading Update
My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon edited by P.N. Elrod. I didn’t enjoy this collection as much as My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding, but there is nice Harry Dresden story by Jim Butcher.
Long Hot Summoning (The Keeper’s Chronicles #3) by Tanya Huff. Much better than the second book, plus it has a completely fabulous fifth line on page 161.
The Book of Old Houses by Sarah Graves. The latest in the Home Repair is Homicide series, this book continues a thread started in the previous book (Trap Door). I’ve loved the rest of the series, but the last two books have only been “meh.”
Viewing Update
Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix. Whoa. Talk about breakneck speed – if you haven’t read/listened to the books, you won’t have any clue what’s going on!
Grosse Pointe Blank. Black comedy starring John Cusack as hitman Marty Blank, back in town for his high school reunion. I can’t believe I don’t already own the soundtrack for this one.
High Fidelity. What can I say? I was in a John Cusack mood this weekend. 🙂 Another good soundtrack, although very different than that of Grosse Pointe Blank.
‘Tis true, ’tis true… although I spent all day Saturday in my PJs, I actually got dressed and left the house on Super International Pajama Day! What can I say? It was sunny and warmer than it’s been and I just needed to get out and go for a walk. I did get back into PJs as soon as I got home.
“For shame, Mom! I spent all day in my pajamas. What, you’ve never heard of the cat’s pajamas?” – Mayhem
And they’re sheepy, too! I stayed in mine — by about noon it seemed pointless to do anything else!
Excellent colour coordination! Those looks like PJ’s I’d pretty much stay in all day.
Oh, and are those Birkies on your feet?
I had to go to the grocery store but like you was quickly back in my pjs right after I got home..
I didn’t get to spend the day in my pjs either. Sigh. The cost of mommy-hood.
Lucky Mom! My day was too busy to be in PJs…but that’s the only way to go!
I made it til 4:00 then a trip to Byerly’s was required – like anyone there would have notice though!!
ah, yes, pajama day. I completely forgot. and then I went to spinning group, so I wouldn’t have lasted too long.
Are you just now watching OotP?! (have you seen Sweeney Todd yet? I’m a bit obsessed with it. and happy that it’s at the budget theatre now. though on further viewings, I think the blood looks a bit like Campbell’s creamy tomato soup. oh, but Johnny Depp & Alan Rickman. *swoon* and they sing too! ah)
I knew there was something wrong when I got out of my jammies yesterday. Damn.
I’ve never seen Grosse Point Blank, and you know…I didn’t like High Fidelity at all. Now, Identity? That’s a great Cusack movie.
What? No Keens? I caught part of High Fidelity on tv this weekend. Last night we watched “Chocolat” again. I love the movie, cute story.
Chris- I did spend the day in the PJ’s-
but then I had a bath and changed into more PJ’s.
Hey, I wore pajamas all day unintentionally! But then again I always wear pajamas at home….
All those movies I haven’t seen yet! Heh.
No pjs for me yesterday, darn. Yours look ultra comfy, though.
Anything with John Cusack is worth watching.
Well, May, I have pajamas with cats all over them. Come to think of it, whether or not I wear those, my pajamas *always* have cats all over them! 🙂
Great John Cusack movies! Grosse Point Blank is a favorite of mine, and you’re right that the soundtrack is fabulous. I think the late great Joe Strummer put it together. Long live The Clash.
my two favorite Cuzack movies, High Fidelity’s dialog is awesome
It was sunny there?? Not even a hint of lighter gray downriver here, we must have been on the far side of the front. And now it’s snowing like the dickens.
When one is, um, strongly encouraged to belong to the church choir, PJ day on a winter Sunday ain’t gonna happen (without shocking the Lutherans, though that could be kind of fun).
May, you ARE the cat’s pajamas!
I watched OotP this weekend too. I agree with your comments, and that thing with Cho was a bit too big of a change.
I forgot about Sunday… I’m so not a pj person. 🙂
Nice PJs! I stayed in mine all day, course that’s usual for a Sunday. I haven’t seen Grosse Point Blank or High Fidelity.
Sweeney Todd is on my list, too! Someday, I’ve got to rent all the Harry Potters…
(((hugs)))
I’m a rebel–sweatshirt and yoga pants.
I think Grosse Pointe Blank is totally worth it if only for JOAN Cusak “closing the office.” That has to be one of the great cinematic scenes of all time.
Those siblings are brilliant actors.
Cats’ pajamas… too funny… that’s sorta like “the bee’s knees’ isn’t it?
Glad you got to hang out in your comfy’s. We should all do that once a week I think.
Thanks for the mention! I’m delighted to be getting so much support for the blogiversary raffle.
Nice PJs 🙂
Grosse Pointe Blank has a fantastic soundtrack! I love the movie too. “10 YEARS, man… 10 YEARS!!!”
love those pj’s! Sounds like it was a John Cusack weekend! “2 dollars!”
What? You couldn’t go for a walk in your jammies? I was in my jammies, but I was also knocked out on pain meds – I threw my back out on Saturday. I’ve been mostly immobile since.
I totally forgot Pajama Day, but I did go out also. I like the coordinating socks and jammies.
The cat’s pajamas is a favorite saying of mine. And Mayhem is the cat’s pajamas, but don’t tell her or she’ll get a big head. She’s so humble now. 😉
john cusak? YUM and MY!
I DID get to spend all day yesterday in my purple, kitty pyjamas. Yay
For Mayhem every day is sipd!
I love Grosse Pointe Blank!
I love both of those John Cusack movies. He’s such a great actor!
Nothing wrong with lounging round the house in PJs 🙂
