snuggly

getting a little sick has allowed me to stay in these past two days, do nothing, and not feel guilty about it. it's nice. yesterday i watched mike leigh's NAKED and later, some simpsons episodes. david came home with all kinds of christmas cheer and we set up a little tree in the corner of the living room and put ornaments on it. i was dismayed at how much of a curmudgeon i've become... i had to make an effort to get up and put ornaments on the branches... that used to be one of my favorite parts of christmas. luckily david's ebullience was large enough to carry the both of us until i was ready to jump in.

today i heated up david's leftover potato soup and watched BED AND BOARD, the final antoine doinel movie made by truffaut. it was just the right movie to watch for today. the little decorated and lighted tree lights the corner of the dark room. i sit on the couch under a blanket with my cat. sometimes it's nice to be a little under the weather.

funny, one thing i noticed watching NAKED yesterday and BED AND BOARD today: both of the main characters deliver speeches about how they're never bored. that is something i have said for a while now, how the only people who are bored must be very boring themselves, because there's always something to do, or think about.
