darchildreMovie night at Bainbridge. Also, since I have two hours between getting off work and movie time, I took myself to my favorite local Thai place for dinner. I am always hesitant to go to restaurants by myself because I don't want to talk to the hosts or waitstaff, but once I'm seated I always end up enjoying it. It is very pleasant to eat good food quietly while reading a book and not have to do the dishes afterwards.
Tonight's movie was Witness for the Prosecution, which I wholeheartedly adored. It has everything I want in a courtroom drama - snarky judges, snarky lawyers, dramatic witness testimony, last minute twists - and also contains Marlene Dietrich, whom I had never actually seen in a movie before but who was wonderful. And there was Charles Laughton and Elsa Lanchester, bickering with each other adorably. And Una O'Conner, who is always fabulous. If you haven't seen it and it sounds like the sort of thing you would enjoy, you should totally check it out because it's great. (Also, there is a narrator who comes on over the ending credits and asks you not to spoil the ending for your friends. That is adorable. And I won't.) I have convinced my parents that they should see it, mostly so that I can watch it again.
All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable day. Which is nice, since the last several have been rather disappointing and frustrating. It's nice to go to bed feeling happy.
