So … last day was my last spent as a blonde as I had my dear friend and hairstylist Josh cut and re-color my hair back to brown. I feel like the blonde is a nice summer look … and I’m kinda tired of fried hair. So, of course, he had to refry my hair but with darker color ;) Ah well, when next I cut my hair things should be totally back to normal. Last night, David and I weren’t really interested in much other than watching Survivor: Gabon (OMG, Kenny is going DOWN!) and the new Meryl Streep film Doubt (based on the play of the same name). Folks, Doubt is pretty damn good … mostly because of the acting performances turned in by Meryl, Amy Adams and Philip Seymour-Hoffman:

Hands down, Meryl Streep is the best thing in this film. If she doesn’t get nominated for an Academy Award, I’ll sue. In fact, if she don’t win the award for Best Actress, I’ll double-sue. Amy Adams and Philip Seymour-Hoffman were also very good in their roles, I suspect they’ll garner noms as well. These players make the movie seem so effortless — the so wholly become their characters, it was a wonder to watch. You can tell that the movie is based on a play as it has that feel but the story is so compelling, I was enraptured. Meryl’s character, Sister Aloysius, is basically the epitome of evil. She lives to find the worst in everything and refuses to even consider the good. That she is a nun only makes her character even more dastardly. Of course a character like this has her faults (ie. she sees no problem using lies to find out the truth — and feels justified in doing so) and that makes her even more deliciously evil. I really love how the movie ends with a cloud of uncertain doubt … did he or didn’t he? Just brills. I wholly enjoyed this film … I only wish I had been able to see the play beforehand. I’m gonna have to see a production of it as soon as I can. Meryl really makes this film … it really is a tour de force.
This afternoon, Darion, David and I are jetting off to Las Vegas for the weekend … we’re seeing Criss Angel’s Cirque du Soliel show tonight and then will be seeing NIN at Planet Hollywood tomorrow night. Wee!! Should be fun … I’m sure they’ll be pix to come.
