Today was beautiful because I saw Cloud Atlas and it was amazing. Cinematically, it had a few issues but the story and the writing and the acting were all superb. I'm adding the book to my depressingly long 'to read' list, because I know it will be even better. I probably won't sleep tonight either because I'll be thinking about my actions and how my life could be touching others'.

Also, after a week of single-digit temperatures, twenty-seven degrees felt downright balmy.
