mama mia

i saw mama mia, the film, yesterday. it was one of those days where nothing goes as it should. i woke up feeling off, totally wrong. i was so grumpy that cars crossing my path in the crosswalk sent me into an almost silent fury, "can you just wait a second!". i planned to go to a community law center to get some free legal advice on what my rights are if creepy shows up and suddenly want's to be in the baby's life. they were closed. next stop, the bank to get money orders for rent and deposit on my new rental room. the check hadn't cleared yet though i'd asked several times for the date it would be available, yep the 13th. oh, ok the check will clear by 5pm on the 13th! two hours to kill, no car to go home and back. i went to herbivore and got some unimpressive food, a roasted beet salad with a side of tempeh bacon. the beets were soaked, marinated, stewed, pickled in waaaay too much vinegar. i couldn't eat very much of my salad. i swear that day was so wrong. i had to do something to turn it around so i went to a matinee at an arthouse theater. i'm so glad i did, mama mia was alot of fun. i laughed, i cried, i reflected on my situation. the premise of the film is a young woman trying to find her father by inviting three possibilities to her wedding. my daughter will not know her father. it kinda hit home. i ate a double chocolate cookie, stayed through all of the credits then went back to the house.
