Juno

Last night I was watching the film Juno on DVD. I saw it at the cinema back in February and really liked it. It's a really funny film, about a 16 year old girl, Juno McGuff (Ellen Page), who finds herself pregnant by her best friend (Michael Cera). Deciding to give the baby up for adoption, she tries to find the perfect adoptive parents through nwspaper adverts. The film features a witty and intelligent script, written by Diablo Cody who won an Academy Award for the film, and a very talented cast. It also features one of the best soundtracks I've heard in a long time. Even though it's not been long since I first saw it, I enjoyed it just as much a second time around. I've also got the soundtrack on CD and it is a constant fixture on my iPod.

It was another very ordinary day at work (are there any other kinds?) I had enough change for candy and coffee today, so I had my sugar intake for the day. I was listening to my iPod during the afternoon (the Juno soundtrack, Tom Waits and Sixpence None the Richer) and in the breaks I alternated between going on the internet and reading my book, which was My Boring-Ass Life: The Uncomfortably Candid Diary of Kevin Smith, which is very funny, and surprisingly affecting at times as well.

I got back from work at half past five and made myself a microwaved lasagne. The advantage of microwaved meals is that they are very quick and cheap.
