Day of doing nothing at all
After being home for about 12 hours Dragon was off again, this time "just" working overtime. I had just positioned myself on the sofa eating breakfast when he left, so I begun watching a movie that had just started - The Core from couple of years back. It was a brainless two star disaster flick, perfect for a rainy Saturday morning when all you want to do is pass some time. The so called science was so out there in this movie starting from the basic concept of "earth core stopped rotating" to end solution of "using carefully placed and timed nukes to start it up and then surfing back to surface in a magma flow", but if you've not yet woken up your brains it was kind of fun. The real saviour was Stanley Tucci whose potrayal of Dr. Zimsky was pure art and very entertaining - he played sleazy but brilliant scientist who had the habit of claiming others work as his own. Right there with Deep Impact (which I actually liked) and Armageddon (which I didn't really care for).
After that I was supposed to take a shower and have lunch - but ended up first talking with Chu and then chatting with Henri, and there was my morning gone. So I sat on the sofa again to have a cup of tea before getting lunch - but this time X-2 was on and I ended up watching that. Second time I've seen this movie, and I still like it quite a lot - espcially Hugh Jackman makes it very enjoyable. But there was pretty much my day gone.
While waiting for Dragon to arrive I called for some hot wings and a hamburger from Sammy's - and is it a good or a bad sign that your local fast food restaurant already knows you by your name?
