oggi era un buon giorno

today was a good day

so today was my first day off work in over a week, so it was really nice to bum around. i slept in a bit, and then watched some movies.
first on the list was "in her shoes." it was pretty good. in other words, i enjoyed watching it, but i probably wont ever see it again, lol. not to say i didnt enjoy it, because i did; it made me smile, laugh, cry, and get involved with the characters. what else can you ask for in a movie?
next on my list was "breach." unfortunately, as has been the pattern every time i go to watch this movie, lee catherine comes home and i stop watching. this time it was ok, because i watched the documentary "black gold" with her. it is about coffee production in ethiopia. it was so sad and disturbing, and makes me glad i dont drink coffee. although, i also realized that stopping drinking coffee wont solve the disparity between what the farmers are paid and what the profits are. it just amazing to me that it is random people in new york who set everything. so i recommend the documentary to anyone and everyone who drinks coffee or is interested in the african coffee industry.
anyway, i finally watched "breach." what a great movie. i enjoyed it because it covers so many of my interests: espionage, counter-intelligence, history, a hot actor, etc. :) in any case, i really want to see it again because i know there are nuances that i missed this first time around. however, i sent it back to netflix today because i have had it for over 3 months now. maybe i will ask for it/put it on my wish list. in any case, i bought the score, to add to my 400+ movie score songs. im such a nerd.
in any case, after watching the movies, lee catherine and i watched wheel of fortune and jeopardy. then, we had reading time, where we just read our respective books and listened to some of my scores. it was a nice night to cap off a relaxing day.
now one might think that since this was a day off i should have been outside enjoying the sun. however, it has been so hot and humid here lately that stepping outside is draining and makes you sticky and gross. to translate, it has been in the high 90s/low 100s, with at least 70% humidity, and the low at night is around 75 degrees. it feels like stepping into a sauna every time i step outside.
i suppose thats enough for now since im tired and i am back to work tomorrow.
