Today is Columbus Day. Whoopee, right? To me, it's just another Monday holiday. Overall, it's been a relatively enjoyable long weekend. I watched a couple pretty good movies last night: He's Just Not That Into You and Grey Gardens, both featuring the talents of the endearingly quirky Miss Drew Barrymore. (I may discuss the latter film here at some point.) Anyway, it's a feature-length adaptation of a 1975 documentary of the same name about Big and Little Edie Bouvier Beale-- Jackie O's aunt and cousin-- and their highly complex mother-daughter relationship and eccentric life in a decaying mansion in the Hamptons. Barrymore and co-star Jessica Lange absolutely nailed their roles. I just love Little Edie's fashion sense and expressions, especially "This is the perfect costume for the day." LOL! Classic!
Also, I read a very interesting article in the October 2009 issue of Vanity Fair. Written by Bristol Palin's Baby Daddy Levi Johnston, "Me and Mrs. Palin (p. 216)" is essentially an expose of the former GOP veep nominee and former governor of Alaska. Johnston says that Sarah is basically a scatter-brained nutjob and that he couldn't believe it when she was chosen to be Sen. McCain's running mate. (To be fair, who could?) Johnston goes on to divulge even more shocking revelations that completely dispel the Palin myth. Y'all just have to read the article to know the full (read: true) story.
