...1.29...Dinner and a Movie...

...dinner was a nice warm chickpea curry...and then there's a very small little bit of Foreman grilled okra...and that's because I was nibbling on it the entire time we were cooking...haha...

...and the Man chose the movie...South Pacific...which may sound surprising...I mean that he would 'choose' a musical...haha...but he watches a lot of political content...and the way South Pacific dealt with race came up in one of the interviews...and I just mentioned that I'd never seen South Pacific...the Man was surprised...I guess I was too...I mean I was aware of the movie...and I knew of a few of the 'tunes' from it...but I'm certain I've never ever seen it...and I'd certainly never pondered how racism was treated in the movie...and it was really interesting...there's this song...You've Got to Be Carefully Taught...it's sung by the character Lieutenant Cable...and he basically says that racism is "not born in you! It happens after you’re born..." which I thought was really interesting and pretty true...

...what have you been watching lately?...

~Have a lovely weekend!

  1. I'd never heard of South Pacific until the campus theatre department put on a production. I loved it, I gotta say.

    And mmmmmmm, chickpea curry! Yum. I cooked up a batch of chickpeas on the weekend so I could make one this week myself.
