"The best thing one can do when it's raining...

 

 

... is to let it rain."

 

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ~

 

And curl up in a cozy sofa with a a good book, a pile of magazines as backup, coffee and a fine husband (whose birthday is tomorrow!). 

We are planning to have a nice, quiet night in and are contemplating watching Synecdoche, New York again. The first watching brought a lot of confusion and uncertainty in my case  - do I like it?, do I hate it?, I don't get it! I want to get it! I hear I wasn't the only one. (Husband liked the movie, so this was a unique situation as we usually have exact movie opinions.) The only certainty is that I am still thinking about the movie ten days later. It's time to figure it out. Do I dare? As a fan of Charlie Kaufman's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I say that I have a duty to. So, movie night it is!

i LOVED eternal sunshine and HATED synecdoche, new york. i don't doubt it's a good, quality, respectable film, but i just couldn't handle it. it was giving me an anxiety attack. Levi (boyfriend) ended up having to put headphones in the TV and watch it alone (we have a studio; otherwise, i would have just gone in the other room). he loved it though.

have a wonderful weekend, and happy birthday to your husband!

It seems to be raining on all the blogs today. Here, it's drizzly and dark grey, and I'm enjoying all the moody rainy shots on everyone else's blog.
