I have a cookie craving.
But there are no cookies at home :O. I'm sick(ish) and dread the thought of walking all of 500 mts to the nearest shop to buy myself some. Which means the only other option left is to bake me a batch.
I love baking cookies. Loved. Now I feel like it's just too much work. Too much effort. And after all the batter smells and tasting, I lose my appetite. But I did bake some awesome cookies.
So today I shall get over my lethargy and bake myself a yummmm batch of cookies. Too bad she's all the way There and won't get to taste any.

It must go on.
"Don't let our blog die," she said to me.
I cannot believe I let it go for so long. Was it because there was nothing to write about? But that's rubbish. There's always something to say. Maybe I didn't have the time? That's a flimsy excuse, too.
But I shall be better.
She's gone back There. And there's something about it that makes life Here different in some way. But there's nothing that can be done.
Two weeks ago, I went on my first 'without the family' trip. It was an amazing experience; a sort of wake up call, reminding me that there's So Much to do. I've become so complacent with routine that I've sort of overlooked the endless possibilities open to me. The only time we're certain of is Now, right?
I need to Do something.

Movies.
So we watched a few movies over the weekend, not together though. Two of them are Drive and Blue Valentine, both featuring Ryan Gosling. I watched Lars and the Real Girl (again featuring Ryan Gosling) a few weeks ago and suggested it to her. We watched The Believer together, she There and me Here.
I loved Drive, she didn't like it much. She felt it was pointless and I couldn't explain to her why I loved it. Like I told her, maybe it's one of those movies you either love or hate. The song- Nightcall by Kavinsky.
Both of us loved Blue Valentine. She cried and I cried too, how can you not? She called it a heartbreaking movie. The song- Hey hey heey, la la la la la laa la - You and Me by Penny and the Quarters.
She was disturbed by The Believer, it bothered me too. I asked her to watch American History X, I don't recall if she did. No song from this movie. Just the scene in the church as he's reading from the holy book...
Lars and the Real Girl, what a lovely movie, we both thought. She thought of the amazing support system he had and all I wanted to do was hug Lars and sit next to him with my head on his shoulder holding him.
Waiting to watch The Ides of March, releasing sometime in the next two weeks.
On a Ryan Gosling high, quite understandably. He's so different in all the above movies, such diversity. Very believable. There were few news articles running yesterday which said he might give up acting, to which he reacted saying, he doesn't want to make movies all his life. I hope he doesn't stop anytime soon.
Oh, also, he's part of a band- Dead Man's Bones, with his friend Zack Shields. A fun, side-act.
Don't stop acting.
