I'm going through a serious funk right now. Aaron's out of town (AGAIN) for four days... and, and... Well, I could whine to you. I could. But, I won't.
Instead, I'm going to tell you about one of my favorite actors. I'm sure you've never heard of him. He's really quite minor -- nobody important. I just looked the following information up, so I could tell you some things about him, since he's just not that salient to the American public. He will be fifty-eight years old on December 28th of this year. Can you believe that? Fifty-eight years old. Wow. He's been given three Golden Globe awards and two Academy Awards. That's not at all important, though. He's been married since 1983, to the same woman, and they have four children.
Oh, did I forget to tell you who I'm talking about? He starred in some of my favorite movies: Man on Fire, The Manchurian Candidate, Training Day, Remember the Titans, and The Bone Collector. Figure it out yet?

Today, when I was bored and in my funk, I went through the Netflix list and added 33 of his movies to my queue. I'm going to be having a Denzel Washington year-long marathon, I think.
I'll let you know how it goes. Or not.
I am so incredibly sorry for this really boring post. I am. I'm sad and depressed, and damnit, I want spring to be here already. This "it's warming up!", "No, it's snowing!", "No, it's warming up!" business is just making me go bonkers.

Hang in there, Jen...spring really is just around the corner (even if it's technically here in seasonality, which is ridiculous, because it should be here in actuality, as far as I'm concerned...), and you will get through the four days unscathed! A little Denzel will help you numb the pain, too...apply liberally and as needed.

Sorry you're sad :( Spring will be here before too long!
Those are some good movies he's done, definitely (I've never seen The Bone Collector, though).

If you want heartwarming and can handle subtitles, rent Elling.
And, of course, To Kill a Mockingbird is a wonderful film.
These are recommended as fillers when you get overwhelmed by the Denzel splendor.
Or bake something. That usually helps.

No argument here. Denzel is the shiz-nit.
Denzel, Morgan Freeman, Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro -- raw charisma, prodigious talent, utterly convincing.
