Two Weeks Notice

Bahaha. So I was feelin' some Sandra. I need to straighten my room before the cleaning lady comes in the morning, and I'm exhausted. So what could satiate me better than a little "Two Weeks Notice" (since I just watched 'The Blind Side"). Then I sat down to write this and about died. I'VE BEEN HERE TWO WEEKS! It's not like I didn't realize that. But I thought the movie was especially fitting. See--you can never go wrong with Sandra. My question is: what's with her and the name Lucy? Is this coincidental? Do the writers plan on her playing the part and name the character Lucy? Does she have a deep-rooted childhood dream of being named Lucy and therefore asks the character's name be changed? These are the things I wonder. But just to prove even more that my selection was inspired: I'm watching it in German (although I'm not sure how long that will last) and its title is "Ein Chef zum Verlieben" (which means something like "A Boss to Fall in Love." The point of that is that I didn't see the title on the shelf and think "Oh what a perfect movie to watch on my two week mark. It would be ironic." Here's the thing, I'm feeling really babbly right now and I'm finding that it's best that I don't write when I'm tired. But I must.

Of ALL the times I've watched this movie (which actually isn't very many) I just realized that the wedding she gets called out of is of the people who got engaged under the demolition ball thing in the beginning. Who'd have thought?

Also, the German subtitles don't actually match what they're saying. Does the dubbing cover ad libbing but the subtitles come straight from the script?

On a more German note, I saw the most precious windmill today driving through the German countryside. It was straight out of "War Horse" although that one is supposed to be in Italy or something. But it was really cute.

I also learned that there's actually a reason that I don't see anyone driving beaters. It's illegal. Ha.

Also, I was discussing with my mother today what "having a chip on your shoulder" means. She pictured wood chips. Why in the world would you picture that? It doesn't make any sense at all. Unless it's a chip from the apple tree from which you haven't fallen far. I guess that's... possible. I thought it was like a piece taken out. That would make sense, I think. I don't know about you, but I would def be in a bad mood if a chip had been taken out of my shoulder.
I'm not sayin'; I'm just sayin'
