Lost day

Today has not turned out the way I envisioned. My plans to meet an old friend for lunch got postponed to next Tuesday (and is now high tea at the Plaza--woo-hoo!). So I figured I could get a bunch of other work done. And you'd think the reason I haven't, for the most part, been particularly productive is, y'know, solitaire. And while you'd be a little bit right, it's more that I ended up watching an entire movie this afternoon, while I was only planning on watching a little bit while I had breakfast and, later, lunch. Well, the lunch viewing ended lasting the entire film, I was that caught up in it.

"The Lake House" is Sandra Bullock (one of my favorite actresses, although I know she's not everyone's cup of tea) and Keanu Reeves (not usually one of my favorites, but he was fine in this). The supporting cast was great, the writing and directing fine. I noticed somewhere that this is a remake of a Korean film, of all things. It gets a bit confusing at times, esp. at the beginning, but it doesn't matter. It's a fine love story and ... I'm a bit sad and confused right now.

Which is probably why I think this is a good movie. Or at least it's one that I'd like to see again and again and I hope to get it on DVD soon (this was a Netflix rental).

Anyway, I think I'll go finish this really short job and then think about dinner. I have so much food in the house that I need to cook...and I don't feel like cooking at all. But I will feel incredibly profligate if I order in. Fortunately, I'm not hungry yet, so we'll see what happens.
