another roadside attraction

[bluegreen17]

it's been a gorgeous day weatherwise. amazing. but now the sun is heading to the horizon,so i should get out for a walk before it's gone.

feeling really blue today,so i had to do the self-medicating thing. first up,a ben and jerry's frozen yogurt. i prefer it to taking a psychiatric drug and the yogurt isnt that fattening,but if i eat that too often both my digestive system and sinuses rebel. no kidding,it does make me feel better mentally.

then i went to the library and got two tom robbins and one henry miller book.both life-affirming. one passage in tom robbins' still life with woodpecker mentions a movie called 'children of paradise' which was made by a frenchman during world war II. i've heard of it before and it sounds wonderful,but i've never seen a copy at the video stores around here. does anyone know anything about it?

i rented 'mystery men' because i like janeane garafolo and 'contact',because i want to see the ending again. i can't remember the details,but i think it was inspiring.

i love Mystery Men! i've watched it at least twice, with terrific pleasure. Contact was excellent, too. Les Enfants du Paradis is a classic, but i've never seen it myself. here's the imdb entry: children of paradise

Ah, I was gonna mention IMDB, but daisydumont beat me to the punch. I'd be lost without that site.

Mystery Men is good, mindless fun. It definitely helps a dark mood. And Janeane is always so good in everything she does.
