Jun. 18th, 2016 09:22 pm1. Finished watching The Night Manager based on the John Le Carre novel and starring Olivia Coleman, Hugh Laurie, Tom Hiddleston, Fred Darsham, and Tobias Menzies. It was quite good. And more than lived up to expectations. Heavily rec'd by my flist and my mother.
The story is about a British Iraq Veteran who agrees to infiltrate an arms dealers business after the arms dealer in question has the woman that he loved beaten death. After watching this, I can well understand why they want Tom Hiddleston to replace Daniel Craig as James Bond. Hiddleston reminds me a great deal of Craig, similar look and acting styles.
Like most Le Carre stories, it's far more convoluted than it appears. While Jonathan Pine, the veteran is working to take down the arms dealer, Dickie Roeper, Olivia Coleman's Angela Burr is fighting British intelligence heads who are aiding Roeper and lining their own pockets in the process.
2. All week long I felt irritable, until today - so I think there was something buzzing in the air.
A negative energy of sorts...which has now dispersed. According to astrologers, four planets are in retrograde at the same time.
Now Neptune is in Retrograde. I honestly don't know what it means. I'm not an astrologer.
Either that, or I need to tweak my diet and eat less nuts with salt. Could be too much sodium?
Weird dream last night, woke up yelling at my brother in my head that he shouldn't care what others thought of what he watched or enjoyed. If he loved a certain television shows over others. In the dream, he was a teenager, and had a collection of DVDs, but was getting rid of them because he was afraid of what others might think.
3. I need to buy a new arm chair, but I keep procrastinating. Any one living in NYC know a good place to look at armchairs, preferably not IKEA? Mainly because IKEA often ships them disassembled and I require it assembled. Also, I can't get to IKEA easily. And IKEA intimidates me...it's the Costco of furniture stores. Or Walmart. I don't do Costco or Walmart, I find them overwhelming.
