Bliss

Just got in from watching Breaking the Waves projected on a screen in a little patio under the stars... It was already a personal favorite, but seeing it like this, given my current circumstances, was a revelation.

I've discovered a new favorite place here in town (connected to the university) where they show a film a week, and I couldn't be more pleased. Between this and last Friday's performance of the National Symphonic Orchestra of Colombia, I feel like I've discovered a whole new city.

Next up? Thomas Vinterberg's Festen ("The Celebration")--they're on a bit of a Dogma kick at the moment. Then there'll be a few weeks of Hitchcock (be still my heart!) and a spate of Westerns (Ford, Leone, Peckinpah, and Eastwood).

I'm giddy!
