Quote of the Moment

  • "Those who sing pray twice." ~ St. Francis of Assisi

film buff

  • ATONEMENT*****
    Rich, lush theme-laden cinematography, nuanced characterizations, sets, costumes, scenes, and hot but not graphic sexuality, characterize this film that deals with the nature of truth and reality, subjectivity/objectivity and the underground currents of the heart. I haven't read the book, so can't compare, but the film is a must-see. I especially loved its treatment of the craziness of war.

It's cold, isn't it? Colder than usual. Slow but steady!

That Islam special I told you about eons ago? Finally aired last night. I did have it taped but still hadn't caught it. Did you ever manage to see it?

hi carrie,

i did tune in to 'Cities of Light' - but I've read all that in 'Ornament of the World' and 'The Handless Maiden' and other books I've been voraciously devouring over the past year, so to tell you the truth, I had trouble focusing on it. I love telling people all about it, but I can't just sit passively and listen, I guess. Even though I tried knitting through it. I'm making a good rate of progress on sleeve number two, by the way. Maybe I'll be wearing the Mossy Sweater before the end of winter yet.
