medicated meditations

You know, I kind of like having a cold now and then. Things slow down. I don't have to wear makeup. I don't have to cook anything more than Progresso soup & garlic bread. I eat lots of Ricola cough drops, which I secretly think are quite tasty, & I read what I want & watch too much TV. I'm really okay with all of that.

Yesterday I did my laundry & that was a really big accomplishment. I was so proud of myself. Then I watched an episode of Gilmore Girls & ate clementines.

Last night I watched A Single Man, & I don't if it was the soundtrack, or my heavy head, or the fact that I spent about four hours in the same spot on the couch, but I didn't find it to be that great. It's pretty much what I would expect from Tom Ford, which is to say gorgeous production design/costume design/makeup/lighting, and less gorgeous dialogue/story/character development. It was like a really long ad campaign. But I'm really okay with all of that.

Today my goals are to go for a walk, bake chocolate chip cookies, & read some Harriet Beecher Stowe criticism. In that order.

Enjoy the weekend, all.
