2.Since we returned home in early January, the temperature here in Shanghai, has rarely risen above 2C. Not exactly balmy and the perfect opportunity for me to stay indoors, make good use of our 42" plasma and find out what all this Oscar buzz is about. Some of my favorites are An Education (love that Carey Mulligan), The Lovely Bones, Hurt Locker and Up In the Air. I also thoroughly enjoyed It's Complicated, and if you're looking for something fun and quirky, 500 Days of Summer might be the movie for you. And no, I haven't watched Avatar. A dear friend of mine from college summed it up as
"Dances with Wolves" in outer space. Yeah it was pretty, and thought provoking, and a huge condemnation of the "modern" way of life. But three hours? Three hours!Enough said. I'll take your word for it that it's a fascinating movie and before James Cameron can make it up the steps to claim his prize, I'll have turned off the tube and retired to my bed.
3. After being away for a month, I've been spending much of my spare time catching up with this cute girl...
