the academy awards. politically: wow. michael moore rocks, the man has guts. and mexico! the good looking man from 'y tu mama tambien' and Pedro Almodovar from "talk to her' both stood for peace in a war-troubled world. as did susan sarandon, who was less vocal, less than usual, and less than others during the oscars.



movie: i want to see 'the pianist' very much, and i do want to see so many of the others out there. i used to watch a movie every two weeks, but lately, i have not been seen many at all. the last movie was 'catch me if you can', which i loved. leonardo was perfect for the role, as was christopher walken and tom hanks, and the story, i thought, was very well done. see it!!



anyway, i want to see 'the hours' because i adore virginia woolf. i want to see 'the gangs of new york' b/c i adore daniel day lewis, and also b/c it looks amazing. i also want to see 'frida' b/c i admire selma hayek and also b/c i am very intrigued by frida kahlo and her eccentricities and her need to paint a picture in a way that some people just will not be able to understand or appreciate. i am also reluctantly wanting to see 'chicago', i am not really one for musicals, but the story does look quite good.

by the way, our house is not sold. the lady decided to go back to her husband, and no longer needed a place to buy. c'est la vie.
