Movie day off

Today I learned that I will pretty much do anything to avoid handling basic responsibilities. Okay, maybe I didn't learn that today. Maybe that is a thing that I've known about myself for years. Either way I have managed to waste a day off. Though I like to call it relaxing.

My day started with me waking up after falling asleep at an odd time. After I finished a few things that I should have completed before crashing, I went back to sleep. Later I woke up late to my alarm. It was time to get my day started. I went to go see The Fault in Our Stars. Since a lot, and I do mean a lot, of tweens are interested in seeing this movie I decided to go to a showing that few newly-released-for-summer kids would want to drag themselves out of bed to attend. It was my best decision not to push that to a later time when I had trouble getting out of bed. The theater was mostly empty. Not to worry as the movie is number one in the box office.

I cried just as I expected I would. It was a beautiful and touching story. I left with my eyes burning and a smile on my face. I need to rush through To Kill a Mockingbird so that I can read The Fault in Our Stars. I am touched with a sentiment that seems to be going around: D**m John Green.

The pressure in my chest had me feeling that I needed a pick me up. What better to grant that than the latest Tom Cruise movie? Answer: nothing. He's dreamy. I enjoy his movies. I try to catch everyone he's in. This one being the Edge of Tomorrow. A strange story line that I couldn't grasp from the trailer. It was quite entertaining. There was suspense, comedy, and tragedy all in there. I can't wait to own it so I can watch it an obscene number of times. That is the first time I've ever felt that way about an alien invasion movie. Oh wait, second. There was Oblivion which was also Tom Cruise.

My day off turned into a movie day. I didn't do laundry which needs to be done. I have not straightened my room. I haven't even eaten a proper meal all day, probably the reason for my headache. Day wasted/rested, whatever. I enjoyed it.
