Another thing I've been doing out here is watching DVDs. One, they're super cheap; two, Jaspal generally has a lot of work to do during the day. Also, he's sick right now and can't talk.
Anyway, I watched Notes on a Scandal last night. Oh my God. SO incredible. Everyone in it deserved an award. Judi Dench's character is one of those I would love to play (or write). She has that Ursula the Sea Witch/Miss Hannigan quality that always gets me. Evil, yet pathetic.
I know the rest of the world has probably already seen it, but I'm generally late in the game when it comes to waching dramas, even Academy Award-nominated ones. But now that I'm on vacation in the land of cheap DVDs, who knows? I may even watch Dancer in the Dark again (just kidding -- just thinking about that movie makes me want to fling myself from a balcony, and Jaspal's apartment is on the 7th floor).
I also finally saw Me and You and Everyone We Know.

forever.
On our way to pick up a pizza this evening, we caught an outdoor rock concert and chatted with a Tibetan monk from Dharamsala. Even a semi-blah Sunday can yield pleasant surprises.

yea, 'notes on a scandal' scared me. judi dench pulls off the creepy old lady really well. i really liked 'me, you and everyone we know' however ♥
This is Katie and Ocho coming from a Monday morning brunch. We are reading your blog and thinking of you, your pistachio cake and city self. Looks like you are having a wonderful trip! Can't wait to hear more when you return. Beware of leathery dutch men on your way home.
Hugs no bugs!
Yay, I'm glad you saw Notes on a Scandal. I do love a good histrionic lesbian melodrama (with a matching over-the-top Phillip Glass score). Judi Dench's narration is so delicious and awesomely written.
I hope Jaspal is healing from his Spider Flu!
