My Semi-Interesting, Non-Constructive Weekend

I have the worst case of lethargy right now. Even as I write this entry I feel myself starting to doze off in front of the computer. I had a very strange weekend in which I did absolutely nothing that was even the least bit constructive. Friday night my area got hit by a torrential thunderstorm. Heavy rains, wind, lightning and thunder the whole shebang! We even lost power. I took a picture of it. Not that you can tell the intensity of the storm from my very poorly taken photo. The storm put a damper on any plans I had of going out that night.
I really wanted to go see this Italian movie at the MFA ( Musuem of Fine Arts- Boston). I had missed their French Film Festival (#$%&*!!!!!!!!!!), which as you can tell I'm very upset about. And I wasn't really looking forward to the remakes and mindless stuff that the local cinema had to offer, so on Saturday I thought I'd try one of their Italian selections, Dopo Mezzanote (2004), English translation "After Midnight." It was surprisingly good. Most foreign films I see at the MFA are usually very serious and surreal with extremely complicated plots that are very hard to follow. Dopo Mezzanote was both melancholic and light-hearted and had a truly delightful story. It was the story of 2 men and one women, whose lives begin after midnight; a film museum custodian, a late-night burger shop waitress and a professional car theif. The two men are in love with the woman who can't decide between the two and choses not to decide, much to their dismay. I truly wish this were on DVD so I could recommend it to people! It was truly a worthwhile flick.
So after Saturday's high note, I spent most of my Sunday in my current somnambulent state. I did manage, I'm not sure how, to make an apple pie sweetened with Splenda. It was quite good! The apples are naturally sweet and I added extra cinammon so it wouldn't lack any flavor. Yummy! Also, earlier in the summer, when the weather was a lot cooler than it was now, I planted a little garden. And now I have some wonderful ripe red tomatoes, long thick green peppers and bushes of sage, parlsey, chives and a lovey stalk of dill. Lovely! Now I'm off for another nap. ::yawn: Good night!
