The Early Movie

Last night was fun :) Varen & I both made a plan to be home early, skip the gym and/or studying and go to a 5 o'clock movie. It was great, not a queue in sight and a cinema so empty I was the noisiest person there ... my dream movie-watching situation. We watched Valkyrie.

The “July 20 Plot” on Hitler’s life is one of the most heroic but least known episodes of World War Two. Severely wounded in combat, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg returns from Africa to join the German Resistance and help create Operation Valkyrie, the complex plan that will allow a shadow government to replace Hitler’s once he is dead. But fate and circumstance conspire to thrust Stauffenberg from one of many in the plot to a double-edged central role. Not only must he lead the coup and seize control of his nation’s government. He must kill Hitler himself.

Loved it. Absolutely loved it. I didn't know much about the story, other than the obvious fact that it wasn't successful. And even knowing that, you still are hoping against hope that it's successful. My favourite line of the movie had to be "We are the coup" (if you've watched it should make sense).

After that we went home to make dinner, but neither of us were that hungry. So I made it anyway (for lunch today) ... vegetarian pizzas with aubergine, courgette and mushroom (for Varen, I cant' stand the buggers). Ended up eating some of it as a late dinner tho, and they were quite nice. Will make them again sometime, but will thin-grate the veg instead of slicing next time, I think.

In other news, Coal's superficial wound is healing nicely ... scabs are starting to fall off (or he's picking them off, I'm not sure). And he's getting that scar-textured skin. Damn, I hope his fur grows back, but somehow I doubt it will :( Poor boy.
