I thought today was an interesting day and as I sit here near the end of it I am not really sure what made it more interesting than any other day. Still, it was interesting. I woke in the still hours before dawn and lingered in bed to watch the sunrise/ A good call with TR set the day in the right mood.
A shower, then breakfast, then off to see the new Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington movie "2 Guns". It was very entertaining in a bit chaotic, plot-wise. I'd recommend it as a popcorn movie on the strength of the two lead actors.
From there I stopped and got the car washed, then came home and watch an episode of Dexter with Tony. (Tony is in pay-cable exile right now). I followed that up with a long and lingering nap.
So, amid all that, what made the day interesting? The pure simplicity of it.
I just called in an order for pizza and I'm watched the end of the Woody Harrelson, Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek movie "After the Sunset" (2004).
I have no other plan for the evening. There is a Sinbad marathon on SyFy, so I might watch that or I might watch something down off the DVR. I've also been promising myself an evening spent almost entirely in reading and tonight might be that evening.
I am finishing up "Red Seas under Red Skies" by Scott Lynch, the second book in his Gentleman Bastards sequence. It has been a good read and looks to end strong.
"…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)
