Gone Girl is such a fucked up movie but very cleverly written. 3/5.
The twist was so beautifully executed. And yes, so so so fucked up. I hated the ending though, it made me so angry. (I read the book first and act 2 had me sitting there with my mouth hanging out). Movie got bonus points for the sheer audacity of showing NPH
spoiler
(fake) penis.
I haven't read the book, but it sounds like its ending made more sense. Rather than the audience feeling sorry for Ben Affleck's character.
I kinda hated them all by the end!
I have dirt! I now cannot leave (in the car) until I move said dirt off the driveway.
I have done the mowing of the front yard, so plan of attack for today is to also mow the back yard, then put down fertiliser on the front, gypsum and fertiliser at the back, then start shovelling dirt from front to back. The nature strip and back yard will also be getting new grass seed as both have patchy grass with lot of gaps. It's not expected to rain until Friday night (when I have to go to work again anyway) so I should be ok to take my time, but the sooner it is done the sooner I can put my feet up and congratulate myself on a job well done.
But first, breakfast.
shovelling dirt
Don't envy you.
I always make the mistake of trying to move it quickly.
yaaas PILE!
Writing challenge.
Tell me a story, but it must include these five words: architecture, light, cloud, special, chipmunk

Too many library books. Again
No such thing so long as you can carry them!
Sounds like just the right amount!
I am at max capacity. If I went back in and tried to get any more, my card wouldn't let me
I need bone warming sunshine, Melbourne. Rant over.
RIGHT. The sun yesterday arvo was so beautifully warm but the air was still freakin' cold. I want some warmth PLEASE.
Looks like the view from my lounge room is changing today, they are knocking down the old windbreak cyprus across the road. Hopefully they are leaving the few natives that are interspersed in a few spots. I think I'll now be able to see some distant hills and trees over the far side of the paddock, at least for a few years until they build houses in the way (and if I'm still here at this point I should have my own garden grown up so I won't be looking at just fences anyway). It would be a much nicer view if the colourbond back fence wasn't mostly in the way.
I did much of today's UnKAOSing yesterday so this morning can take it a little slow ๐
