Smack a Twilighter Day

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and are better equipped to take on the week ahead than I am. After two days of movies, chocolate, long conversations, excursions to questionable local diners and opting for flats rather than four-inch pumps to make my petite friend feel less miniature, I’m exhausted and completely out of ideas for the horrible poem I’m supposed to be writing for class. Instead of trying to work up some motivation, I’ll write a confusing post in which I won’t be able to remain on the same subject for more than a few minutes.

Subject one:

Movies. I watched “Dan in Real Life” and “A Knight’s Tale” in quick succession while waiting out the rain Saturday. I fall in love with Sondre Lerche all over again every time I watch “Dan.” Is the soundtrack brilliant, or is it brilliant? Same goes for “A Knight’s Tale,” although only the situation is original. Who would expect such a soundtrack in a movie of knights, maidens and Paul Betta—I mean, Chaucer? (You caught me—the biggest plus of that film would have to be the perfection of having Rufus Sewell, Paul Bettany and Heath Ledger all on the same screen.)

Subject two:

Weather. ARH! After a week of warm weather and sunshine, it snowed yesterday. SNOWED! I’m in denial. I tried to go out without a coat today, but I was freezing. Blast this confused weather. Why can it never make up its mind in March? Why, New York? Why?!

Subject Three:

Facebook groups. I’m not a big fan (no pun intended until I realized that it was a pun) of these in many cases, or of events or pages. If one is particularly witty or a friend starts it, I’ll join or “fan” it, or pretend to attend. Yesterday my day was made by an event on there: Smack a Twilighter Day. I am so attending this. In fact, I’ve decided to smack them with my copy of “How to read Novels like a Professor.” It seems appropriate.

Serendipity of the day: Calvin and Hobbes. (Shush. I know I didn’t come up with it!)

P.S.—Attend the event.
