It might sound silly, but I’m still getting used to living by myself. I know it’s been almost a year but, you see, I change slowly. I decided tonight that it wasn’t really that terrible to spend 4 dollars on a DVD that was only for me, and that I didn’t have to wait until I had someone else with me before I could justify watching a film. It’s not the first time I’ve watched a film alone, in fact I used to have a habit of going to films by myself, but it’s more the idea that I can create a sense of occasion around an activity even when i’m the only one involved.
So, I got out one that I’d never heard of called “Fracture”. It’s a New Zealand film. I love New Zealand films of almost all kinds. I like that I recognise them. Not just the places and the accents, but also the.. drive of them. Afterwards I thought I’d check out the Internet Movie Database and discovered that americans in florida think the film was irritating and unwatchable. I think that’s fine, we have to watch material from the US that we think that of day in and day out on our TV screens…
I loved this one too. Even when I’m expected to believe than an australian with an aussie accent can be the brother of a kiwi girl. All good. And it was set in my favourite New Zealand city. Wellington. What a great place.
Today was awesome. I fixed the heater in the car.. and vacuumed the inside. I made sushi. I fixed the indicator on my car. I started a ‘loose screw’ jar and a ‘loose button’ jar. I bought organic washing powder from the organic shop and I washed my white cotton sheets. I watched a film.
What did you do?
