In a distant time....
(...or, 'movies to wrap presents by'...)
Last night I did the dishes and decided to get some wrapping done.
I gathered up everything and sat down in the living room. I turned on the *gasp* TV. Not to just mindlessly watch TV. I surf for movies - if there's nothing else on, no documentary or anything of interest on IFC or Sundance channel - the idiot box gets shut off....
So last night I came across this:
Which, despite the presence of the two lack-luster actresses, is a good movie (OK so I am hot for Daniel Day-Lewis)....but it was already 1-hour into the film...so I surfed some more and this was starting:
I am pretty sure I speak for a lot of English majors out there when I say we hated this book. But I LOVED this movie. Adored it - in fact - instead of teaching 'Gatsby' by reading the book, I say we all just watch the movie.
So I wrapped my presents and was taken to a place of wistful nostalgia.
Afterwards, I got to have a great conversation with Mr. C.
Tonight I get to be with my love - in fact we get to be with each other a lot this weekend and into next week - life is good.

I liked the book. I had to force myself to read it, not because it was a bad book, but because I kept asking myself, "Why am I reading a story about the type of people I don't like?"
Once I got about half way into the book it was a pretty easy read and entertaining. The end/ending kind of sucked though.
