This afternoon I decided to turn off the computer and enjoy a movie and some popcorn in my living room. I should watch movies in there more often. I have a 32-inch flat screen Sony TV and a Bose surround sound system. You’d think I’d take advantage of these items more often. But I usually spend time in my computer room. I usually have the computer on and the TV on at the same time. I have a 27 inch regular TV in that room. It’s a decent setup and I spend most of my time in that room. Anyway, I decided to watch Food Of Love and enjoy a bag of delicious 94% Fat Free Kettle Corn. Doesn’t that sound delicious? I put the movie in and began popping the popcorn. This time I didn’t burn it. I stayed close and listened. When the popping slowed to 1 to 2 seconds between pops, I pushed the cancel/stop button on the microwave. The directions are pretty good if you just read them and follow them.
The movie was pretty good. It’s based on the book “The Page Turner” by David Leavitt. The acting wasn’t that great but I did like the story. Plus, Kevin Bishop, the guy who plays the page-turner is really cute. He’s very young and not a very good actor but not bad to look at. The thing I liked best was the music. The score was perfect. I loved that music. It’s mostly classical. Not many people enjoy classical music but it fits perfectly with the movie.
During the movie, I ate the bag of popcorn I had popped. It wasn’t too bad actually. I like kettle corn. It’s the appropriate blend of sweet and salt. Of course, I washed it down with a bottle of spring water. I have to make sure I drink plenty of water with salty things. I love popcorn but it gets in your teeth. I wish they could make popcorn without the kernel skin that surrounds the popped pieces of corn. Those little kernel pieces always get in between my teeth. So after enjoying the bag of popcorn, I spent a few minutes flossing my teeth. Then I felt something at the back of my tongue. So far back that I can’t reach it. Sure enough, it was a piece of that pesky kernel skin that was stuck in my teeth. I could not get it out! It was like it was itching the back of my tongue and making me swallow over and over. I hate that! So to help break it free, I had to eat some peanut butter crackers. Even though I know I shouldn’t eat these fat filled crackers, I knew I just had to get that kernel skin off of my tongue. After 6 delicious peanut butter crackers, the kernel was gone and I felt better. I’ll just have to walk an extra mile tomorrow to work off those crackers.
