Today has been one of those lazy days; I love these days because they are always full of books and movies. Lazy days are good for sleeping in and having lunch in your pajamas. Lazy days are the days where you can forget about all the things that are happening in your life.
I started my day by sleeping is and then staying in bed to read. I’ve been reading Divergent by Veronica Roth and so far it is really good. I have been picking it up saying just one more chapter and ending up reading three or four instead. Then I made lunch and ate it while still my PJs watching my favourite movie A League of Their Own.
A League of Their Own is one of those movies that I could watch over and over again. I could probably sit down and watch it again right now even though I watch it earlier today. I love the story, the journey between the two sisters, Dottie and Kit, is really well written and completely relatable. This movie also has the saddest moment ever in it, and it was acted perfectly. I love the way that the movie makers were able to capture that feel of the time period, the excitement of the women’s baseball games with the dread of being at war. Just thinking about A League of Their Own brings a smile to my face.
After the movie was over I spent some time browsing this really awesome book site that I discovered, wish I would have found it sooner so I could have included in my I Love Books post, called goodreads.com. I think that I have found by new website addiction! You can rate books that you have read, make a to-read list, and get recommendations. I am trying to read 50 books this year and Good Reads will track my progress and tell me if I am behind; I am 12 books in and only 2 behind! I have too many websites to waste time on.
Speaking of time wasting websites, I was on twitter and someone that I follow retweeted a post by Titanic real time. I’m not sure who is putting the tweets out there, but they are posting what happened on the Titanic on the day it sank as it would have happened. It is really interesting to see these tweets, it is actually sort of nerve racking because I know what is going to happen and I just want to yell at them to get everyone on to the life boats. I think that it is a neat idea to do this especially since today is the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. It is a new way to learn about history, and maybe this is something that we can use in the future to help educate kids.
Nothing else to exciting has been going on today. I made dinner and watched 13 Going on 30, I know I know it’s not the best movie ever, but it is entertaining…plus it was on TV. Over all I’d say that today was a success as far as lazy days go, and it’s not over yet! I think that I will go watch another movie now.
