After Midnight Again...

... but I don't care. I'm still holding to the "I-haven't-gone-to-bed-yet-so-it's-still-today" philosophy. *stubborn*

Anywho, today was pretty uneventful. I worked today and I was hard pressed to keep busy because my replacement has taken to the job swimmingly. All of our clients have been calling to wish me good luck and to tell me how much they'll miss me. I haven't gotten depressed or teary-eyed yet about it. So far so good. Hopefully I won't, either.

After work I went over to my friend Nini's house for a lovely evening. We watched a fantastic Bollywood film called 'Cheeni Kum.' It was a really cute movie about an older gentleman falling in love with a younger woman and some of the obstacles they had to overcome together. It was very entertaining and quite humourous, and there wasn't a single contrived dance number in sight!

Okay, well, I can't really complain about the dance numbers because I do like them for the most part. The music is really fun and the dancing is beautiful, but when I say that the reasons for a dance number are 'contrived,' do I mean contrived. In old Broadway musicals, the story seemed to flow seamlessly into the musical numbers. It always made perfect sense and, more importantly, it always felt right for the characters to burst into song when they did. Look at My Fair Lady (my absolute favourite) or Sound of Music (2nd Favourite) or Singin' in the Rain or any of those. Bollywood films just seem to struggle with achieving that seamlessness most of the time.(Although Paheli and Rab Ne Bana di Jodi are both really good and flow well).

After the film, Nini and I finished our tea and chatted a bit about our plans to go abroad in the spring. It was slightly related to the movie, since most of the film took place in London (squee!) and that's one of the places on our potential itinerary. Sometimes I wish I had the money to just travel all the time. There are so many beautiful places to see, shrines to make pilgrimages to, and cultures to experience. I've loved what travelling I have done, and I can't wait to do more!

Now, I'm home, snuggly in my bed and starting to fall asleep. And so it is that I must leave you... buenas noches...
