The Depression Special

Today has been an indoors kind of day. There was the kind of rain that doesn't pour down, but clings on. Plus I could actually open my 18th floor window and stick my hand out into mist. So it was time to resort to my "One-Day-I-Will-Relax-At-Home" plan.

The PLAN consists of the following: 1. A 3-DVD sequence, preferably with some thematic pattern; 2. Hot drink (today's beverage of choice is Moccono instant coffee, cos I'm a lazy bum); 3. Munchies (I've got roasted peanuts-still-in-shell).

My DVD sequence is what some would term the "La Especialidad de Depresion", or "The Drepression Special" in Spanish. Why? Cos the DVD's are: The Sea Inside (Mar Aldentro), Bad Education (La Mala Educacion), and Maria Full Of Grace (Maria, llena eres de gracia). How do you say in Spanish, let's make a movie about heroin-pellet-swallowing transvestites who support euthenasia in an effort to uncover the truth about their feelings of the Catholic clergy?

No, I didn't finish the sequence. In all honesty, it was just too damn depressing. After one DVD I needed to do something else to "cleanse my palate".
