16 sleeps until G. gets here.  Have to get my hair done and my traditional pedicure. I think I'll get my hair done next week so it has a week or so to settle down before my niece's wedding. Just in case it's a tad too short or something. I'll get the pedi a few days ahead.

Still waiting for my divorce certificate to be sent from the court in Ontario. I reckon they would have got the letter requesting it by mid week last week. With any luck, it's in the mail en route to me now. But we're talking government agencies here. All positive thoughts and cosmic push energy appreciated. (Only because we can then get the marriage certificate with a minimum amount of fuss. If it doesn't arrive before he leaves to go back home i'll have to get his ID copied and certified before he goes and then I can use that to get the certificate on my own when the divorce thingy does arrive)

A number of good or at least possibly interesting movies coming up over the next few months:
Hector and the Search for Happiness (Simon Pegg's newest)
Guardians of the Galaxy
The Hundred Foot Journey - Indian family upsets the applecart of a Michelin starred French restaurant across the way. Chick flick, but it's got Helen Mirren and she's always good.
A new Sin City movie. Oddly, as it's not really my type of movie, I liked the first one.
The Drop. James Gandolfini's last movie. Saw the trailer, looked interesting.
Gone Girl because I've read the book. Ben Affleck is one i can take or leave, however.
Kingsman. Spies and secret agents. Samuel L Jackson!
Interstellar. Space travel, though the two leads, Matthew McConaughey and Ann Hathaway, may or may not kill this one.
Foxcatcher. Biopic of an Olympic wrestler. Not sure about it but Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo are generally pretty good.
Horrible Bosses 2 because the first one was funny.

The internet is abuzz today with the death of Robin Williams. It makes me sad. He has been battling demons and depression for many years on and off, along with alcohol and drugs. I read he'd been back to rehab again in July to restart the 12 step program so he must have been sinking and looking for help. I've been lucky, to this point I've never suffered from depression so I can't imagine what it must be like to feel so much pain and sadness that you don't want to live with it any more. I know that depression is a physical illness that manifests itself in devastating ways. A lot of well known comedians have had depression, ironically. The tears of a clown.
