At home today recovering from surgery. Slept in. Breakfast: organic raspberries, nonfat yogurt, Grandma Goodie's honey nut granola. Watched The Bourne Identity (2002) on Netflix instant watch with Will. Snack: mini burrito. Will went to work. Shower, shave. Afternoon meal: leftover salmon; mashed potato with fresh dill, butter, salt, pepper; carrots; TJ's blueberry-pomegranate unsweetened tea. Kaiser called to reschedule my post-op followup appointment. Received flowers from the OSACA, very nice. Watched A Clockwork Orange (1971) on Netflix instant watch, which was the first time I used subtitles during instant watch. I didn't really understand this film. The subtitles worked as expected except they were in all caps, which I found harder to read than normal case. Fun to see David Prowse in this. Watched Chocolate (2008) on Netflix instant watch with Will. If you forgive this film's absurd premise, and that a handful of plot points go unexplained but figureoutable, you'll be presented with some amazing martial arts choreography which take place in ordinary, city settings but which offer a wide variety of unusually creative sequences. It appears that many of the blows and falls are real. It's also nice to see someone other than Zhang Zi-Yi playing a role like this. Yanin Mitananda (aka Yanin Vismistananda, aka JeeJa Yanin) pleases in this film.
