thankful for
1) knowing my work.
it feels good when your manager responds
"ah, I get what you're doing now--cool."
after I was able to explain to him my fix to a problem.
2) cooking.
cooked something new,
aglio e olio.
still having trouble pronouncing it.
I've never tried it before,
but it must taste like whatever I made,
because it was good.
was pretty proud of myself.
3) feeling something after watching a movie.
wasn't going to watch a movie,
but I was looking through some files
and found a couple of movies that were given to me
to watch during the flight back to New York.
ended up not watching any,
so thought I'd watch one anyway.
Between Calm and Passion
seems to be the working English title.
I've heard about the plot,
which significantly helped me understand
what was happening in the earlier parts of the movie.
I honestly began watching not expecting much
(read: really wasn't in the mood for watching a movie)
but as I reached the end,
I felt something.
my head keeps calling it "a sad relief"--
a slap and then a hug right after.
