Started anna karenina. Reading the classics puts me in a better mood. I will keep posting right here as I go along. I even loved Portrait of a lady, but thats a whole different blog.
I wish I could ice skate though.

Julie and Julia
Read it since I had decide to learn how to cook. Then decided to blog about it. So it lamely made me do this. But the book was an utter let down. Self indulgent and hurried - especially towards the end. Julia Child was right, Julie was a hack! Did not like the book, so that will end my review.
For me: * 1/5

Up In The Air
My mom didn't like it. I thought it was just the fact that it was George Clooney, I tend to like the movie he does - except Goats!!! I like it. It is extremism. But I liked it. I wonder what its like to live in a suitcase. I have a friend, Tenzin Tsundue who lives out of a backpack. The pseudo-philosophical only adds to the emptiness of his life. And yet, who is to judge what makes someone else happy. But the thing that is evident is that George Clooney does not need co-actors. Anna Kendrick is irrelevant and unbelievable. Her breakdown with the boyfriend is staged and contrite. Vera Farmiga is cool. Jason Bateman should go back since his is really arrested development.
