Friday - Cold and snowy
If I’m not concentrating on what I’m writing at the moment, it’s because I’m watching Love, Actually and it is 3:30 in the morning. I love this film!
Anyway, slept in a bit this morning and then got up. F was watching an old Japanese movie that wasn’t annoying, so I let him watch it all! It’s just that a lot of recent movies have such terrible overacting that it makes me annoyed.
We had lunch at Jiro and then came home again. I worked on my next column for a bit, and also watched a bit of TV.
We went out for dinner and tried to go for yakitori, but the place was closed so we went somewhere else. We ended up at an izakaya (Oh gosh…Colin Firth just made the sweetest little speech to the Portuguese girl….tears are streaming down my face….) Now it’s the end credits…I love this damn movie!
We bought a few groceries after dinner, but I really couldn’t get F to make any sense. I told him, and have told him a few times that Christmas food was my worry, New Year’s is his. We’ll likely be eating kitchen scraps knowing him. Or soba till I can’t take it any more!
Anyway, I worked more on my column. I’m not done yet, but I’m more than half done I think. Hurray for that. We watched a few movies this evening too. We watched Amelie and a couple of other films which I can’t remember at this moment. F went to bed just as this was starting. I was surprised that it was after midnight.
Now I’m about up to date. I think this New Year Holiday is going to be like all the holidays I have with my husband…a bit of a waste of time. He makes no plans at all and expects me to do all of the planning. I however have no idea how he wants to spend the holiday and he also has family obligations that he doesn’t tell me about. Grr. Oh well. No big deal really. I don’t mind staying home that much. I’d rather stay home than have a bad time somewhere else.
That’s it for me for tonight. I’ll most likely post tomorrow night. Have a good night!

That's exactly how I feel. So far J. is saying we will NOT have to do any family obligations, but I have a sneaking suspicion he will change his mind at the last minute.
I'm also crazy about Love Actually. It kills me every time I watch it.
I love the scene at the airport at the end. (tears welling up now)
I also love "Love, Actually" and enjoy it as one of the Christmas movies that are in the seasonal rotation. Some of it is a bit much (the nationalistic stuff is distracting and obvious), but the romantic stuff is nice and the general mood good. The main draw though is that the actors are all great, especially Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, and Colin Firth.
Happy New Year to you! I hope it turns out to be a peaceful time!
Love, Actually was great. I probably should have watched it earlier in the season with my DH as we have the DVD, but finding it on in the middle of the night was great. I've been finding a lot of good stuff on at night, and since the daytime stuff is a bit not good...I watch the good!
Thank you both for commenting. Happy New Year to you both!
