So I may be 42 but it feels like I'm going on 22... every other weekend, I bring my dirty laundry to my sister's house and do laundry there. Heh. The key attraction is that her laundry room is COOL, while my building's laundry room, though capacious, is broilingly hot in the summer.
So as a thank you, I told her she was my date last night and took her to see Inception, which was completely absorbing and very complex (but hey, what do you expect from the director of Memento? BTE, nice URL for Memento, eh? Heheheh) And like his previous matryoshka doll of a movie, it would not only be difficult to explain the plot of Inception, it would be So Wrong to spoil it. Even most of the trailers were for a more interesting breed of film. RED, for instance, is an acronym for "Retired Extremely Dangerous" and looks extremely entertaining, that is, if you find the idea of Helen Mirren as an assassin lots of fun (which I do -- hee hee hee).
(Belated note to self: so far, of the 6 movies of his that I've seen, all were engrossing, so I'd better keep an eye out for Christopher Nolan's work in the future)
On the "home" front, I've finished Stones Into Schools on my Kobo, and have now started Game Change which I'm finding to be like the literary equivalent of an episode of West Wing: fascinating yet hair-raising.
Also from the library, the eBook of Anne Perry's latest William Monk novel, Execution Dock, awaits me.
Life is good.
And the photo above is from the entry area of Kittichai, where I went for a Summer Restaurant Week dinner this past Wednesday night with my friends Jackie and Marci. Food p*rn to follow in another post, but their decor is tres chic, no?
