alexpgpGalina arrived around 4 pm yesterday. It turns out she left Thursday morning and had an overnight stopover in Austin, where she delivered a sculpture to a client. After I got off work, we went looking for a place to eat, eventually arriving at Joe's Crab Shack over by I-45 and Fuqua.
The place was jammed, so we settled for a quick Polish hot dog at the neighboring Sam's Club, and bought some munchies (smoked salmon, wine, etc.) to take home with us. (Believe me, it's a lot more fun this way...
)
Among other activities, we managed a screening of What Women Want, with Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt. I liked the movie, and the chemistry between Gibson and Hunt was really great, but couldn't help but notice that the film accepts and perpetuates a negative male stereotype that Hollyweird apparently feels no qualms about perpetuating (if not actually promoting). It is one I am also beginning to grow increasingly weary of, but I cannot say I was not warned in this particular case. If memory serves, there is a tag line on the slip case, to the effect of, "Finally, a man who listens!"
Maybe, someday, there will be an entertainment industry that does the same.
But I'm starting to preach...sorry.
Cheers...
