Today's Mood

.

Muriel Pritchett (Geena Davis),
The Accidental Tourist

It seems wrong to use this performance and not have a quote, but I haven't seen the film in a few years and there aren't any quotes from her on IMDb and the only thing I can vaguely remember in the way of dialogue is that noise she'd make while training Macon (William Hurt)'s dog, so if you remember exactly the noise she makes then imagine that's here for a quote. I'm really using Muriel as a Mood today because I've been feeling loopy and off all weekend long and Muriel's basically the epitome of "loopy and off." And also Geena Davis rocks in this role and totally deserved her Oscar (yes, I know she was up against Michelle Pfeiffer and Sigourney Weaver and Frances McDormand and Joan Cusack... man, what a line-up!). I wish Davis would come back to us. I miss her.

Stinky - I KNEW there was a reason this perf. was sitting in my brain. And the Oscar line-up too, which I usually don't think about; you planted it there! Rascal!

I know I voted for this year for y'all to do like last week then. Phew, mystery solved.
