We signed a new lease on our apartment. We asked for a new refrigerator. And it arrived yesterday. Big, shiny, white, roomy. It just gleams. Everyone is very happy. Freezer on the bottom, lots of shelves and compartments. It's amazing how a new refrigerator can just change the energy of our little household. We are all glowing positivity this morning...
The refrigerator made me think of Ellyn Burstyn and her role in "Requiem for a Dream." "Requiem" is a great, and powerful film about people in addiction and survival. It's beautiful, brutal and surreal. I've seen it a couple of times, and certain scenes are just seared into my consciousness.
I longed to hear the wonderful and amazing soundtrack to the movie. Original music by Clint Mansell. I'm playing it now. It is haunting, breath-taking, really one of the greatest movie soundtracks ever recorded. Yes, it's that good. So glad we got the refrigerator, so glad it made me think of Ellen Burstyn, so glad I remembered the soundtrack, so glad I'm playing the CD now. It's a very good morning.
