Appropiate Icon for Apropiate subject
I finally saw "Slumdog Millionaire"!!!! and I liked it very much indeed. It was very fresh, I guess that's the best way to describe how I felt when I left the theater. Fresh and electrified. I had been seeing so many movies with sad endings lately that to see one with a happy ending was very refreshing. Of course, I downloaded "Jai Ho" as soon as I got home. And tried to imitate the dance number.
I started reading "The Hobbit" yesterday. I'm on chapter five or six and so far I'm enjoying it immensely. I didn't know that J.R.R. Tolkien had such a lovely sense of humor. Bilbo is a fun character to read. Which reminds me of another great character, Patrick Wallingford from the previous novel I was reading "The fourth Had" by John Irving. There's not much I can say about the plot, it was well researched and interesting, but nothing spectacular. What I really enjoyed where the characters. Specially Patrick. He was a dog and sometimes a bit of an asshole, but I fell in love with every bit of him.
Finally here's the A-Z meme everyone did centuries ago. Copied from Delaney.
