Difficult work day, since felt like warmed over crap during most of it. But tis over. And muddled way through two negotiations. Also learned more than I ever want to know about structural, electrical and environmental engineering.

Last night watched the flick The Town directed by Ben Affleck, also starring Ben Affleck and Jeremy Hunter Renner (I'm confusing him with Jeffrey Hunter apparently - can't think why (not being sarcastic here, I honestly can't think why)). (Renner is the guy from The Hurt Locker, who was also nominated this year for Best Supporting for the Town, and who I think should have been cast in the Americanized version of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. This guy just disappears into his roles. Amazing character actor. Poor Affleck is too pretty to quite pull that off.) The flick, courtesy of netflix, was rather enjoyable - in that it held my interest throughout, and had more going on than what you might expect. It was your standard flick about an anti-hero, who is trapped, yet still changes his life for the better. ie. unlike most noir flicks, it has an upbeat ending. But it is definitely an anti-hero drama.

half-assed attempt at a review of the Town - cut for vague or general spoilers )

Also finally watched the season finale of Supernatural - which was rather disappointing. Supernatural spoilers )

Whew. Sorry about the snark in the Supernatural review, did say had a crappy day, right? And yeah, I know shouldn't give up my day job to become a professional reviewer on the net any time soon.
