I am about to watch a movie that I haven't seen in quite a long time, Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein (1974). Part of me felt like watching horror but I'm in a I-want-to-feel-good-as-much-of-the-time-as-possible mode and that's not always easy with horror.
In fact, looking back on the past, I wonder if all the thousands of horror movies that I watched and the depressing music that I listened to, kept me in a low energy, negative kind of mind space. Or was it all actually an effect of the energy that I was vibrating back then? No matter what, it doesn't matter. It's all in the past now :>)
As mentioned in the title of this blog post, I had my popcorn before the movie, for several reasons. I felt like having popcorn. It wasn't dark enough to watch a movie yet ( I am projecting films on my living room wall and I'm not having curtains, yet, so I need to wait until around 9PM to have the right amount of light / darkness). Just now, the church bells made me aware of it being 9PM. Awesome! Oh and before I forget, I also try not to eat or drink anything after sunset, besides water.
By the way, if you have an idea of my balcony/ living room view ( of which you can see part in the picture above ), you probably understand why not having curtains is almost a must. I like to have a room with a view until the sun sets.
When I was making popcorn ( I almost burnt the little buggers ), I thought of just watching the view / life with a bowl of popcorn and that was another reason for me to not wait until the movie. So that's what I did, in a way. I sat down on my balcony with a very interesting book that I am reading at the moment
Wisdom of the peaceful Warrior, a companion the book that changes lives, as well as two breakfast bowls filled with popcorn and a glass of water with ginger and lemon. I read the book, ate the popcorn and looked up from the book to watch the activity of the birds ( mainly swallows, as filmed and showed in this recent post - Swallow This! ), whenever they attracted my attention with their high pitched noises and flight sounds.
I just felt like sharing a little feel good post, after what was mostly a feel good day. I hope that you - my dear reader - are feeling good too.
I'm now off to watch Young Frankenstein, a movie that I used to find very enjoyable ( and I do not necessarily like all the films of Mel Brooks, some of them just aren't very funny ). If you haven't seen it and you are into comedy and or horror, make sure to give it a watch one day.
Enjoy the remainder of your weekend! :>)
i need to set up a home theatre viewing one of these days. the tvs are big enough these days, though, ... hmmm
i have never seen this movie, but now im super interested :D
I actually only watched half. I was too tired and had seen it twice before. These days, I am fine with watching half of nice movies I've already seen. In the past I always forced myself to sit through them till the end.
P.S. Sleep is underrated ;>)
There’s these blinds that you can get that go over the sliding door so when they’re open the whole door is exposed like that, and then you can pull the blind down to the floor if you need it shut (I’m pretty sure it will stop partway too 😆).
Should probably have some kind of window covering for insulation purposes, and if you ever need it artificially dark for movies 🤣
Watching life happening is a nice way to spend time, and you have the right kind of room for it 🙃

I'm not a fan of blinds. I guess going blind is one of my fears ;>)
All kidding aside, they remind me of peeping toms and tend to get extremely dusty. I try to avoid dust when I can.
I will definitely get some sort of window covering after my return from The Netherlands. For now it really has no priority.
It also helps that there's no apartment or anything ( besides hills ) opposite my balcony :>)
Um abraço
I’m not sure how you’d peep through what’s essentially a sheet that rolls up 🤣 it could gather dust but not nearly as much as horizontal blinds!

When you said blinds, I was automatically thinking of venetian blinds, haha! :>)
you do have a magical view. When I lived in London, I loved to go to Soho, order a juice and just sit outside and people watch, such a vibrant diverse part of the city I loved it, I equally love just sitting outside here and watching the birds go about there business, doing that with some popcorn sounds great xxxx
Haha, that sounds awesome. During my years in cities, I loved people watching too. Even the grumpy ones put a smile on my face. People are fascinating to study / look at :>)
By the way, as you understand, there's hardly any people watching here. I'm not complaining about my view though.
I am about to visit The Netherlands and - afterwards - Berlin though so there will be plenty of people watching coming up.
Here's some positive vibes and...
um abraço
