A Canadian and two Italians have been kidnapped in Libya. I hope they are okay. As rewarding a career as my dad had in Libya, I am grateful that he is home safe and sound despite the forced early retirement.
Mind Farts
-saw Bridget Jones' Baby with girlfriends and laughed. really. hard! much of the time, sequels don't live up to the hype but this was wonderfully awkward and crazy. and the female characters have sure aged gracefully :) i like how that was portrayed. no spoilers, but i hope i can still go nuts at music festivals when i hit my forties. i think that may be a key to aging gracefully ... you gotta keep appreciating the new stuff, including music!
-also laughed (and cringed and snorted) really hard while reading Augusten Burroughs' memoirs. very big contrast to my last read about North Korea.
-three cheers for the public library, which allows me to keep inhaling books. maybe it helps that i've been able to lunch on my own and read quite a bit - my usual work lunch buddies have been bringing their own lunches ... possibly to save money in the current sketchy economy. i've noticed that even the usual busy restaurants are not as busy anymore
-another reason to lunch on my own: my fabulous mother veganizes Filipino dishes to feed her vegan daughters. my lunch today is a delicious eggplant adobo :)
