Ugh, I have a low grade migrane headache today. It started yesterday and made watching Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf difficult. I kept spacing out and closing my eyes. I almost dozed off during the movie, which I didn't want to do because it so good. It's an old movie with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton playing this an academic couple stuck in an extremely dysfunctional marriage. The plot centers around this late night get together with them and a younger academic couple in which alcohol and laying bare deep secrets are on the bill. Both Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton put the whole concept of on screen couples into another stratosphere. The fact that hey were married to each other, twice, is a large part of it. What made it work is that he was the perfect yang to her yin. Very few on and off screen couples today have that kind of chemistry. It's like finding a rare element and watching it play out.
Anyway, I got two invitations for Passover. a definite first. One was from the bf to join him and family for a Seder at Chabad. It sounds like it would be a lot more fun than being tortured at sis's house. The second was from an orthodox lady I see at the park. This just for a meal. The invitation from the bf would be a great opportunity to finally meet his family. The only hitch in that is my car. Mom suggesting I rent a car but I don't know. The hold up is that it can so expensive and I don't want to take advantage of mom too much. The other invitation is local so I can walk over. Either way, I need to do a hair and makeup run. The other thing is I genuinely hate Seders. They're so long boring and I'm ready to leave after a few minutes. Mom assures me that Chabad Seders are more lively. Truthfully, I'd still rather go see Bryan Ferry when he comes to town. I need to figure out what I'm going to do. In the meantime, I need to jet.
