wtf, weather?!?... yet again
So, the nice summer weather is all gone. It's dark and wet and gloomy and really, really cold for the middle of May. And it's totally affecting my energy levels. All I managed to accomplish today was take a bath and go out for groceries. It took me forever to decide what to wear... and then forever again to figure out what I will be cooking tomorrow - which of course determines the contents of the grocery list. Now I'm ready for bed, even though I've slept in till nine in the morning and THEN taken a nap.:/
Oh, and I saw another heartbreaking film last night. The Unknown Woman by Giuseppe Tornatore (who also directed the famous classic Cinema Paradiso). I don't have the time or energy to write much about it right now, but it was scary and tough and beautiful and just... such an amazing character study. I'd rather not summarize the plot in case anyone might want to see it, because I think the film has a greater impact if you don't know what to expect (like I didn't) - but let me just say that the heroine is very complex, and you may find yourself constantly changing your opinion of her as more and more background is revealed. It is a tragic, and yet hopeful tale of survival. With a stunning performance by Russian actress Ksenia Rappoport, who took my breath away. Here's a pic of her from IMDB:
That's it for now. I'm half-asleep, as well as freezing my butt off. Must burrow under the covers, pronto.;)

It's fucking FREEZING here right now, too. I went out to a pharmacy for a few essentials earlier today, and I seriously wished I had worn a scarf & gloves.:/ The wind was just so BITING, you know? I meant to do more shopping, but I just couldn't make myself go outside again...
