Quentin & Quilts



This is a quickie little card I threw together tonight to send to a friend. The lone star quilt is on the inside of the card, peaking through the framed square hole on the front of the card.

Steve and I are going to start watching Season 3 (I think) of Six Feet Under tonight - on DVD from Netflix, of course. I've been so stressed this week (work related, nothing serious) that I'm actually hoping I can squeeze a little cry in somewhere in this episode. The odds are good! I don't feel like I need a cry, I just know that's one of my best release mechanisms.

We just finished watching Reservoir Dogs. I don't get what's so great about Quentin Tarentino. We watched Pulp Fiction last year because I'd heard so much about it. Kinda liked it. Then we decided to watch Kill Bill. I barely remember it - and honestly can't remember if we watched Kill Bill 2. I think we did, but it was even worse. But in listening to the commentary that went with Kill Bill, Quentin said that everyone thinks that Reservoir Dogs is one of the most violent films ever - but in truth, most of the violence takes place off screen. So again, I was curious. Just like with the Kill Bills, I can never forget I'm watching a Quentin Tarantino film - the whole time. Because they are so not my kind of movie, meaning I can't get lost in the characters lives, I'm very in the moment, "This is me watching a Quentin Tarantino movie." It's like I'm studying it. Anyway, I think this was my last one - been there, done that.

Before this, we watched Be Cool, Simon owns it. We watched it while we were eating dinner over several nights and I swear it felt like it went on for two weeks. Love John Travolta, love Uma Thurman. But oy, did it drag. The best part was the Aerosmith concert part, which I watched twice. Loves me some Steven Tyler.

I think in between Be Cool and Reservoir Dogs we watched Fargo. Loved it!

But alas, I'll be glad to get back to my HBO shows. We watched the very beginning of the Six Feet Under DVD this evening during dinner - a collage of scenes from various HBO serial programs - my Sopranos! I miss them too! Larry David? No thanks. Found him as boring as I did Seinfeld for the most part.

Enough out of me - back to cleaning up email before it's showtime in 30 minutes.

I can't believe you find Seinfeld boring! I think it's the best comedy ever! Even though I've seen every show many times, they still make me laugh. I like Curb Your Enthusiasm too, but not as much.

I guess it's more that I liked the episodes the first time round but not so much in rerun. I can't put my finger on it exactly. I think it's kinda weird I feel that way too, by the way. I know it's a "classic" show - heck, I still quote lines from it in my daily life!
