Jan. 8th, 2018 09:00 am It's so funny watching movies from when I was a kid. My son and I watch Groundhog Day yesterday. I really appreciate Bill Murray's talent-I love his dry wit and sarcasm. Groundhog Day was not as "fun" as I remembered. He's stuck in this day for who knows how long-and that's something I really didn't catch onto when I was a kid--just how long was he stuck in this day? He knows everyone in town, one person thanks him for fixing his back and calls him "Doctor"...was he really stuck in that loop for like 8 years? (and yes, if you are a Doctor Who fan, that's nothing...) Also when he figures out that he relives this day no matter what, he tries to kill himself in a number of ways...a sort of dark turn that must have gone over my head when I was younger.
Also, I feel really bad for him having to sign up for insurance with Ned Ryerson every day for years. LOL. If you think about it, it must be pretty nightmarish to know so many people closely like that but they have only known you for a day. Sounds lonely. I suppose I am overthinking it.
I only remembered that he was trying to win over Andie MacDowell by learning what she liked and pretending to like it too. I thought, as I was watching, gee, this is a terrible message. I completely forgot (spoilers!) that he ends up bettering himself and winning her over that way. I gotta say, it completely inspired me.
For anyone who was wondering how we fared in this winter storm, we never lost power, although it flickered all night one night. Roads are still pretty rough today. I drove my son to a playdate on Friday or Saturday and it was awful. Thankfully it's actually in the double digits today (high 20s!) and the road my son's school is on, which was treacherous yesterday, was actually not bad this morning.
My son has his first basketball game today and he's really nervous. I feel bad. He kind of got guilted into joining the team. Coach kept asking him and he was non-commital but finally decided he wanted to try. I tried to comfort him but there's really no getting him out of his own head sometimes.
