Day 45 - No Cooking Due to Avatar

Why is it that some mornings I wake up just filled with drive and enthusiasm, and other days I'm lucky to get out of my pajamas? Yesterday was the former type of day. Today was the latter. It was pressing on towards noon before I was finally dressed and busy working on the last pile of boxes in my studio.

Taking advantage of the week between Christmas and New Year's, that wonderful time when no one is expected to be anywhere doing anything especially useful, I took in a matinee of Avatar in 3D. I love scifi movies and action movies anyway, but this was really something. A nice story with a happy ending. Visually stunning. The last big Mano-a-Mano Fight Scene was too frenetic to follow. That was my only beef. I liked it alot. Good music, too.

After which I went to Barnes & Noble. Randy and I gave each other copies of Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle for Christmas. One copy in the house is sufficient, so I traded in mine (and a few bucks) for Martha Stewart's Cooking School. More supplemental reading. With pictures.

Randy had some Trader Joe's frozen biryani heated up for me when I got home, bless his heart.
