Liesl and I put in a lot of time working on her math classes today. She is in the home stretch and we are trying to get her done. She’s already completed all of her science classes for school, for forever. It’s weird thinking of my baby as having already gone through every science class that she will ever have. And she’s just a few days (hopefully) away from being able to say the same thing about math. It’s so hard to imagine her having her school life behind her now. When you are a kid it feels like it goes on forever.
This afternoon I went to a studio downtown to do a photoshoot with The Bernies. We did photos in the studio, then went to my house and did photos in the garden as well.
This evening the girls decided that they wanted to go to Puesta del Sol in Las Peñitas for dinner since I needed to run down there anyway to pay some bills. So at 7:30 the four of us drove down there and had dinner. Their menu is much smaller now so not the selection that we miss. Lots of menu items we want are gone so that is sad. But it was nice to be there again. Luciana doesn’t think that she’s physically eaten in the restaurant (as opposed to take away) for four years, not since we lived on the beach!
After dinner we came home. Liesl and I watched Some Like it Hot for her cinema studies class. I have to say, that is not a good movie at all. Very bad, in fact. I can’t how badly written it was. The story is dumb, the dialogue is downright painful. The acting mostly seems like people just walked on to set and flatly said a line without context; which makes sense as the dialogue is so jilting and awkward, how could you act through it? So far this is the biggest loser movie in her classes. I’m truly shocked that this is considered a classic. It’s neither good, nor artistic, nor watchable. It’s a terrible performance from nearly everyone involved, not a good example of the works of any of the people. Even Joe Brown absolutely sucked in this after decades of being a big player in Hollywood; and I’m a huge Tony Curtis fan, but this was not something for him to be proud of.
Luciana joined us after the movie and we all watched two episodes of H2O Just Add Water which isn’t a great show, but is more entertaining than the movie. Then it was time for bed.
