Weather has changed here, recently, in the Portuguese countryside.
For those who had some doubts, seasons still exist.
Plenty of rain, paired with colder nights and mornings, are turning the landscape even greener than it already was.
One of my favorite colors is replacing the remaining yellow and orange, day by day.
The fresher air and increased coolness makes my daily walks even more enjoyable.
If it weren't for the increase in flies, life would be beautiful ;<)
We could really use more birds and other fly-eating creatures.
As soon as I open one of my apartment's windows, flies come dripping in, like water from a leaking tap...
The good news is that they seem to have replaced the ant(agonist)s, that have finally given up, after over a month of me making life hard for them, in here.
It seems like 'as formigas' have gotten the message, at last, and migrated to greener pastures ( hopefully outside, in nature, where they belong ).
Good riddance!
On my walk, I awoke from my meditative, daydreaming state, several times, by the movements, bleating and little metal neck bells of sheep and lambs.
Cute creatures.
They always make me smile :<)
And now on to today's movie recommendation...
Yesterday night. I felt like watching a good = actually 'funny' comedy.
I stumbled upon a clip of 20 of the 'best' comedies from this century.
I think I had seen most of them and some were indeed quite fun. but there was one that I had never even heard of, the 2007 Hot Rod.
I decided to give that one a chance.
I must admit that I enjoyed it quite a lot, but the stream kept breaking up and 20 minutes before the end of the film I almost fell asleep.
This afternoon, I decided to watch the grand finale.
And then, at the very end, the second before the credits started rolling, something happened that hardly ever is the case with me ( and yes, I do have a sense of humor )...
...I laughed out loud!
at the very end of the film.
It made me feel really good, briefly,
made me all warm and fuzzy.
Yes, Hot Rod is the type of feel good movie/ comedy that actually makes me feel good.
It's fair to say that I have a weak spot for films about losers trying to become winners.
Think Napoleon Dynamite ( another favorite of mine that could also be found in the top 20 of best live action comedies of this century, in that video I watched yesterday night ).
Here's a trailer of Hot Rod, an enjoyable comedy that I highly recommend:
