In case you haven’t been keeping on my posts regularly, I’m unforgivably busy and (sadly) this week keeping mind and body together has gotten to be enough of a task by itself.
Which means there has been no progress on the cross stitch project. None at all.
I haven’t even had time to look at it.
So, instead of showing you nothing, I thought I’d share with you something else to waste your time with.
While some people’s favorite form of procrastination might be Pinterest, Facebook (glad to say I’ve officially kicked the addiction and I spend less than 30minutes on Facebook a week now), Etsy, WordPress, or e-shopping I like to browse Netflix movies.
I love movies, they’re my favorite waste of time, whether that’s going to see them in theaters, curling up with pizza and a rental, or mindlessly stitching and watching (or just mindlessly watching). And while on my latest Netflix surfing spree I came across a movie that I was really drawn to and ended up really enjoying. So now I’m sharing.
Cafe is the story of a coffee-shop patron who one day discovers he is just an avatar in a virtual world, all controlled by a benevolent programmer taken the form of a teenage girl. While nothing is real all the characters still have free will, and when tragedy strikes it’s time for innocent bystander #1′s true colors to show.
While this is a surprisingly whimsical movie with an unexpected happy (if a little over the top) ending it asks a lot of philosophical questions. Like “why are we here” “what is free will” “why do bad things happen” “what are we supposed to do with our lives”. And as someone trying to find answers to some of these questions myself something about the movie was strangely…comforting.
So go load it up on Netflix, spend an hour and half with it, and then come back and tell me what you think.
