Wrapped around that was a pleasant day. No particular moment stood out as transcendent, no particular event besides the movie was a true gem, but the day itself was simple and precious. I am home now, settled in for the evening, feet propped up, glass of ice water next to me, waiting for "Game of Thrones" to begin. A simple and beautiful night.
"…Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves; singing songs, drinking wine, diverting ourselves just floating, floating….refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current; this is what we call the floating world…” Asai Ryoi, in Ukiyo Monogatari (Tales of the Floating World, 1661)

Oscar Worthy Film - Mud
Well, I think I saw the first truly Oscar worthy film today - "Mud" with Matthew McConaughey. It is one of those film that on the surface is pretty straight-forward. A pair of boys find Mud on an island in the middle of the river, hiding out, and they decide to help him. Wrapped within all that though is a great, subtle, mesmerizing film that is entirely true to it's own heart. I would highly recommend it.
