Hugh Grant

I've watched 2 Hugh Grant movies in 2 days, and refreshingly, neither of his characters fit the stereotypical one that I always associate with him. You know what I mean. The diffident guy, with poofy hair and puppy-dog eyes, who is hot, but thinks so poorly of himself that he talks the whole movie to really make a move and so almost loses the girl. Think Sense and Sensibility or Notting Hill. Well, o.k., he was a bit like that in the first one I watched, Love Actually, minus the hair. But he was pretty different in About a Boy. I really enjoy watching actors who manage not to get stuck with being type-cast and do well in a variety of different rolls.

The rest of my life (outside the movies) has been up and down. Not particularly productive, and very moody. Some things have been very nice, but my emotional buttons are all on a hair trigger at the moment. Currently on a small up-swing due to fresh air, exercise, change of scene, etc. Now off to get more exercise and be minorly productive before a prenatal visit this evening.
