A Mighty Heart..

Rubbish title: not rubbish film.

I have to say that I'm not sure what the point of the film was. (the cynic in me would suggest that the point was to get an Oscar nomination for Angelina Jolie). It tells the story of Mariane and Daniel Pearl. He was killed in Pakistan in early 2002.

And thats what it does. No analysis (save maybe some comment about the feisty and somewhat butch FBI lady). Just a story.

Very well shot and really gets into the Karachi/ Pakistan thing, but not sure whether it really has a point.

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

Who will rid me of this meddlesome...

... piano? It occurred to me yesterday as i nursed ANOTHER bruise on my arm.. that I have had a piano sat in my hallway for 2 months! It seemed like such a good idea at the time but apparently is not... its stuck there and everytime I walk down my hall I have to squeeze past the darn thing- often not successfully! A number of options lie before me: -chop the thing into several hundred pieces -find lots of people who want to move it.. to where I'm not sure -sell it -give it away -pray it away It goes next weekend.. even if it kills me... which it might.. hummm
