Today I woke up late and did an awful lot of nothing. Read a book, read the internet, had lunch, ate a couple of truffles (the godiva kind, not the kind pigs find!), then finally got off my arse and went out with Patrick — we took my car so I could play some more with my new GPS, which is my new fave tech toy evar! We went to see Slumdog Millionaire and both really liked it. I think my favorite bit (that wasn't encased in human waste) was the dancing during the end credits, but it was all pretty great. Danny Boyle is rapidly becoming one of my favorite directors: Sunshine, Trainspotting, 28 Days Later, even A Life Less Ordinary. I guess I really need to rent Millions and Shallow Grave.

And if you haven't seen Sunshine and you like space drama with some surreal horror tossed in, you're missing a great movie.

I am apparently all about movies this holiday season. Next up from Netflix: The Old Man and the Sea, A Mighty Wind, and for some reason Netflix shipped me an extra movie, Wall-E, which I've seen but bears watching again. And they still owe me one, so Croupier is next, closely followed by Grey Gardens and Veronica Guerin. This should be a pretty fun few days! I have one more week of vacation and I intend to get a lot more reading done, too. Yay, vacation!
