I still have yet to see Slumdog Millionaire. I went to Salvador Shopping on Wed (the day that going to the movies is cheapest, for some reason) and they had canceled the showing that I had planned on seeing. This resulted on me buying a ticket to Gran Torino-- I was so upset. I thought that the movie was going to be some lame thing about race car driving. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised. I cried when Clint left his doggy Daisy. There is just something about that human-doggie connection that I can't shake. It is so profound.
While at Salvador Shopping I decided to pick up a book. The only book I have left is a biology one about stress' effect on the human body. It can be turgid at times (but still entertaining becuase the author is great!). I read it slowly because I want to be able to remember all the stuff about how the body works. Anyhow, I decided that I needed something a little more mindless to read during my down time and I picked up Twilight! I am pleased with my choice. Although this first book seems to be written a little oddly-- I'm not in love with her style and I think she takes a LONG time to say what she wants to say-- it is exactly what I needed-- easy reading. I'm kind of afraid that it won't last long though-- it's only Friday and I have already read 100 pgs. Damn my fast reading skills!
I can't believe that in one month I will be in Boston... it's insane. I have been here for so long now that I have kind of resigned myself to living in Brazil. I have forgotten what it feels like to be in Boston-- what the snow feels like-- what the streets smell like. I think going back after 9 months away will be spectacular-- I have enough distance to re-appreciate my little city all over again. :)
Ok, that's all for now. oh! Yesterday was Diego's 3rd birthday-- happy birthday, dieguini!!!
