things on tuesday

I do not like:

• Rescheduled appointment for shoulder pain (must wait extra week and resist urge to do added damage during that time), but it’s still good to know it’s gonna be looked at eventually. 
• Muki’s breath.
• PMS.  I think I’m ready for menopause.  Bring it on.
• Feeling generally imbalanced.

I do like:

• The new Masterpiece Theatre production of A Room with a View.*  The 1985 Merchant-Ivory film is one of my all-time favorite movies ever, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying this production very much.  In mine humble opine, the young lead actors in the new production have a better chemistry than those in earlier film, though the film trumps with many more elements including Maggie Smith, the glorious shots of the Tuscan countryside (especially the one just before the storm), and Julian Sands’s tush in the “come and have a bathe” scene.
• The sidewalk across the street has finally been repaired.
• Gentle reality checks.
• Divine-brand 70% dark chocolate (most divine in the 1.5 oz size bar).
• Kale-pepperjack enchilada.
• SIFF starts next week.  Yay!

*Forster is another writer whose stories I’ve tended to enjoy more on the screen than in reading, though now I’m in the mood to re-read this one.
