jenni_blogNot much to report. I needed to rest so made sure I got some. Aside from laundry, I read a bit (three more chapters of A Dance With Dragons), spent a little time on the 'net (had to try at least 10 times to make a Livejournal post today, but it finally went in), and watched a couple of movies on DVD.
The Movies
I finished watching 'The American Friend' by Wim Wenders. His films are always so beautifully photographed and are always so interesting, even though the subject matter sometimes is a bit simple (see 'Lisbon Story'). Don't get me wrong, I love 'Lisbon Story' and its gorgeous Fado music. However, Lisbon is NOT as poor and seedy as it looks in this film! But 'The American Friend' was great. It had an interesting, provocative story, great actors (Dennis Hopper, Bruno Ganz) and a beautiful sense of mystery about it. Even though I found the ending a bit abrupt.
I did two loads of laundry and hung them on the line outside. They smelled fresh and felt warm from the sun, if a bit stiff because they didn't go through the dryer in order to soften them.
Did you know that the clothes dryer, the oven and air conditioner use the greatest amount of the electric energy in your house?
I didn't feel much like eating today. For breakfast I had a cup of coffee and a banana wrapped in a plain tortilla spread with Nutella. For lunch I made myself a fried egg and wrapped it in a tortilla spread with ketchup. (I have to eat tortillas instead of bread because of my celiac disease.) For dinner I ate some honey-garlic chicken wings and on the side a salad with mango dressing. I ate an orange for dessert.
Now I am going to make a cup of tea with perhaps some cinnamon toast, and sit down to watch the Under-20 World Cup on TV. Host team Colombia is playing tonight. And I LOVE anything Colombian.♥
