Night in

It's a Saturday night and I'm staying in. More than that, I'm completely on my own. It feels right, though. Okay, since it's Saturday night anyway, I'm supposed first - to summarize on the week, second - to make plans for the weekend. Well, summary first? This week I've had 12 classes, edited 4 chapters of the book, and watched 3 films. Besides, yesterday wandering around killing time between the lessons, I happened on a place which sells Moleskines! Purely by chance. I can't tell how long it's been since I had a Moleskine and how desperately I wanted one and now I've obtained it - it's black, pocket size lined Classic and it's totally awesome! Now I'm comfortably tucked in bed (yes, I was thinking of an early night, mind you, it's only 'thinking') and I'm trying to figure out what movie will put me in the right mood for tomorrow. The romantic side of me craves for rewatching something like 'The Ice Storm' or 'The American Beauty', while the pragmatic one claims I still haven't seen 'Into the wild' and, anyway, there's a heap of DVDs on my bedside table! I'll probably choose on being pragmatic tonight, which doesn't mean I can't tweet the slogan which has been getting me for something like 12 years now: 'The American Dream was over. But the hangover was just beginning. (c)' I can't even explain why 'The Ice Storm' is ever so important to me. I remember only too well how I saw it first. It was a late autumn of 1998 and I was in Russia and good old NTV was still good and they beautifully dubbed movies. It was a late night showing and one of those precious moments when if feels like you've just been through something truly important and you've instantly become more mature. I can't say for sure how many times I rewatched it (I now much prefer the original, of course). But I remember last time I saw it was 2 years ago and that again coincided with a very controversial stage of my life. It's pretty obvious now, isn't it, that I'm not watching it tonight? I should give it a little more time. But, most importantly, I don't fancy doing it on my own. There's someone very special I want to do it with. Someone who is just the same way into it. Then it's worth waiting. And now I've had a cup of hot chocolate, which I don't feel guilty about and I'm right on my way to pick up a movie I haven't seen yet. Have a good Saturday night, everyone!
