We've been watching the World Series, and had a disappointing night last night, with our team losing. But it's a close series and baseball is being well played, so that is fun. We couldn't get the A's there, but at least La Russa is. My family on both sides is from Missouri, so rooting for Saint Louis is fine and dandy. Okay, I was born in Texas, but that was too long ago.
I saw a movie yesterday afternoon, Margin Call, and it was not as good as the New York Times pronounced, but I was struck by the acting of Kevin Spacey. I did not like him in the role for which he won the Oscar, American Beauty. Of course I loved him in the Usual Suspects. But in this film he is different, yet uses his amazingly evocative face to convey a huge range of emotions. I have new respect for him. It's really his film, though it has a host of super actors, like Jeremy Irons and Paul Bettany.
I'm making a soup with chicken and quinoa this afternoon, and the receipe looks yummy. It's still sunny weather, but at night there is a nip in the air, and soup sounds good.
