A Tom Hanks kind of night

The original plan for this evening was to have a Tom Hanks movie marathon. I happen to have picked up a two-pack of TH movies: The Terminal and Catch Me If You Can. I'd seen the latter, but not the former.

A little over two hours (plus - including a 2 minute power outage in there) later, I have to say wow. Ok, there are a few technical errors (and one big plot owie), but on the whole the movie is rather good. I only knit half a sock heel while watching, it was that engrossing.

So...the plan has changed. Instead of a Tom Hanks movie night, it has become a Stanley Tucci movie night, to keep the mood going. Stanley Tucci, you say - how can he keep THAT mood going? Well, I also happen to have on DVD A Midsummer Night's Dream, also a romantic comedy (this time supplied by The Bard himself), in which our dear Mr. Tucci also plays a supporting role. Perhaps I'll get the other half of the sock heel done.

Oh, the sock? Making up the pattern as I go, using Opal Flamingo, from the Rainforest collection. If you have a distributor near you, I highly recommend picking up any or all of this collection - they are absolutely stunning in person.
