I had a very bad day on Monday. I mean, I didn't feel at the time like it was that bad and nothing really happened to make it bad, but my boss called me after work to make sure I was ok because I apparently seemed off at work and suddenly I realized that no, I wasn't ok. I don't know what was wrong but I just didn't want to be in my life at that moment. So I took the night off.
By about 8:00pm I had closed all the curtains (mostly so I couldn't exactly see that it was still light out), popped a big bowl of popcorn covered in melted butter (it makes me hungry just thinking about it), and put a DVD in my tiny little computer that only sort of works. I could have watched it on the old television set I have in my living room but Lady Bug was curled up on the bed and kept begging me (or something like that) to come and cuddle. So I curled up in my bed in some comfy pjs, devoured that popcorn, and watching a surprisingly delightful movie.
I had yet to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button because a) I don't really like Brad Pitt and b) it just looked kind of lame. But the great thing about Netflix is that you can see all of these movies that you "should" see without having to spend a fortune at Blockbuster. I really am glad that I saw it. Somehow they made a movie about a person aging backwards seem not only plausible, but also likeable. It wasn't nearly as ridiculous as I thought it would be (ok, except maybe the part at the end where he's a baby again). Rather I fell in love with this man who was struggling to find his place through life. I haven't read the story yet but it's been added to my list. And the movie comes highly recommended - not to mention that Brad Pitt, who as I mentioned is by far not my favorite actor, looks really, really good.
