Technically Mondays are the one day of weekend I get out of the six other days I work during the week, although with the degree of busyness I achieve on Mondays, they serve as often being more productive than the rest of the week combined. I spent a relaxed morning reading Blindness, a great book that I recently picked up, which was also recommended by my English teacher during my Junior year of high school.
 
Then, in the early-mid-afternoon I went with one of my oldest friends Jackson to see The Fall.

The Fall is one of my new favorite movies. Hands down trumping both movies I saw with the College is HARD crew in the theater during the year (Bee Movie in the fall and Iron Man in May) as well many of the movies introduced to me by Giancarlo (including Over the Top, a heartwrenching (80s) tale of an (80s) father/truck(80s)driver who travels across the (80s) country to participate in an (80s) arm-wrestling contest to win back his (80s) son)

The Fall is extremely imaginative and wonderful and shot in incredibly beautiful locations all over the world. It made me laugh and it made me cry (which not many movies do, save Uncle Ben’s death in the first Spiderman). I hope to see it many many times in the future and show  it to everyone I care about, because it, more than almost anything else, is my kind of movie.

After the movie I met up with my friend Lou and we filmed an adventure filled with creemees (which if you don’t know what they are you will learn so by the end of the week.)

This last week I finally understood the meanings of the words poignant and bittersweet.
