Raindrops

This morning was damp and misty but I decided to ride the little red dragon instead of taking the transportation module. As I rode it started to sprinkle and the first few raindrops made me wonder if I had made the right decision. Then a small raindrop hit my lips and I tasted how clean and fresh it was and I knew that it was going to be a good ride. It rained just enough to make the streets slick. I slowed down a little and realized that none of the people in their cars had any idea how wonderful the rain tasted or how cool and refreshing the air had become. I was extremely happy that I didn't take the car today.

Last night I watched "You've got Mail" and what surprised me most about the movie was the continual blatant product placement and the fact that the lead characters are not particularly likable. Writer/director Nora Ephron had things she wanted to say with the story but it just seemed to come across flat. I also found it hard to believe that after destroying the family business that the Meg Ryan character would ever consider forgiving the Tom Hanks character. It was a completely predictable romantic comedy that made common mistakes. characters were introduced and not expanded upon. There was the stereotypical trophy wife who runs off with the nanny. The significant others of Hank's and Ryan's characters were interesting people who deserved better partners and hopefully found them after being cut loose. Just random thoughts on an old movie.
