verbminxToday has been low-key, because I decided I wanted to spend the evening at home.
I cooked dinner (roasted chicken, mashed potatos and gravy, but no salad because my carrots wilted overnight - these gorgeous, cartoon-perfect carrots are now sort of rubbery).
We watched Autumn in New York, which is amazingly, laughably bad. The end is supposed to be sad and moving and we laughed all the way through. Every event in the storyline is so predictable that it hurts. Is it sick that I found a movie about a 22-year-old girl with a heart condition hilariously entertaining? Poor Winona Ryder. I used to like her a lot - around the time of Beetlejuice and Heathers - now she's just annoying.
I've spent most of the rest of the evening reading A Conspiracy of Paper by David Liss; I'll withhold my opinion until I'm somewhat further into the story. My mom is finally tackling my copy of Iain Pears' An Instance of the Fingerpost because my cousin made her promise to read it. B. (my cousin) has read it something like ten times. It is a good book, but it took me months to read because the middle is slow and, in places, dry, so I cannot see rereading it in the very near future.
I'm talking to Ragdoll and I'm going to spend the next few hours doing housework, then go to sleep.

Date: 2001-02-16 10:56 pm (UTC)she started making Chick Movies!
I knew How to Make an American Quilt was the Beginning of the End.
(However, I did see Boys recently, and while I had thought it was another one of her Chick Movies, it was actually a pleasant, bizarre little boys' boarding school romantic comedy, and not as bad as expected, though not quite good.)
