A Pretty Decent Day

I am starting to feel better today; actually better than I have felt for the past two weeks. I slept well and eve slept in late today, which helped as well. The weather was moderate, mostly sunny but not to warm. After breakfast we went into the city centre to the farmer's market and to do some shopping. One thing I have noticed is that shopping for food here really takes a long time. My guess is that is because one doesn't buy everything from one big store, like a Wal-mart. Baked goods from the bakery, meat from a meat market, produce from a farmer's market and then the rest at a grocery store. So, as expected, Carsten went to the bakery and meat market as I was rolling out of bed and then after returning home from the farmer's market and putting everything away we then went to the grocery stores. Yes, we go to two as it saves money and we can have more/better options in terms of what we buy. Once we finally made it home, Carsten talked to his mom on the phone and I watched some TV. Later we ate dinner and watched a movie that we rented earlier in the day. We got a movie that I wanted to see last year, but Carsten has had no desire to watch. To my surprise he agreed to finally get it today. Of course it was a horror film!! The film was The Strangers. Overall I think it was a pretty good movie, I mean, I did tinkle a little bit in my pants, which is always a good sign. It is a bit of a slow movie and doesn't rely on gore but rather on sounds, music and acting to cause fear in the audience. I rather enjoyed the film, though Carsten was beyond displeased with it. Sucks for him :) If you like horror films, you would probably enjoy this film but if horror is not your genre, skip it.
