That Means Forgetting Everything We Had
I don't update this journal as much as I mean to. Sometimes I'll lie on my bed, on the couch, or working around the house thinking about what I want to write. I want to write more.
I'm probably in a writing mood because I watched Juno last night. I had seen it before, but I decided to enjoy a movie by myself for a change. It was nice, and the extras were interesting - didn't realise the writer was a blogger and it was her first screenplay... that's pretty inspirational, and it signals that these things can come from anywhere...
I'm now hooked up to Foxtel... Lauren was just delighted that I'd signed up because of Blizzcon showing this weekend. So far today I've already enjoyed a bunch of music clips (rawk awn) and scheduled a tonne of stuff to record over the next week. It'll be good to be exposed to a greater variety of movies - most of what I watch these days are the DVDs that I buy on sale at JB. For the first month at least I'll have all the movie channels, and so I've selected a few things I'd missed, a few things I don't know if I'll like, and a few things from years and years back. It's kinda a goal in life of mine to watch a lot of movies... not to be a 'movie buff' or anything, but to have a variety of references and escapisms to fall back upon. I'm already known for referencing, so why not explore it further? I like my sense of humour, and I'd like to continue being liked for it.
Also today, Mum and I are finishing off the painting. It was becoming one of those things that hangs over one's head, and was irritating me seeing the patches and spots that needed fixing. Already the first coat has cheered me up immensely - much more than I thought it would. I guess playing house is good for the soul.
On the cooking front, I made some awesome bolognase on the weekend... I don't think I ever thought I'd manage to cook something that wasn't only tolerable, but actually really, really good. Sadly I haven't yet got the right balance in my diet, but I'm not so fussed about that right now... exercising is more important to me, and though I'd be lying to say that's going perfectly, it is going. Some is better than none.
Until next time.
