Book Research & Movies

I would like to have put a passage today but unless the stages of the pregnancy during the first and second trimesters are your area of interest, I can't imagine you'll enjoy what I post. I've been doing research for my novel. Between that and the unbearable hours of Japanese, I didn't actually have time to read a book. I've figured out that my biggest problem with this test is vocabulary. If you don't know what a word means, it's impossible to figure what preposition to use with it. The really frustrating thing is that I have no idea how to study for that. No matter how many words I memorize, there will be more on the exam.

We watched Raising Arizona two nights ago. I know it's supposed to be one the greatest movies. I must tell you, I thought the movie is okay but it certainly wasn't anything amazing. The acting was fine but the story was stupid. I'm sorry but I just didn't get it.

On the other hand, The 400 Blows, or with its original name, Les Quatre cents coups, was wonderful. It's about a 12-year-old boy who is very mischievous to compensate for the terrible life he has at home. The movie made me think a lot about my family and how lucky I was to have parents who actually cared about me and paid attention to my life and feelings. It made me take a moment to thank them for being as amazing as they've been.

I love the recent HP ads about how amazon changed the way people shop. The one with the donut store where they talk about other people who enjoy the same type of donut is my favorite. I also like how they have many varieties. It stops them from getting boring and overplayed.

So Bush, as expected, won. Tho, again as expected, we're nowhere near the end. We've got about two more weeks before the absolute deadline comes and I wonder who will actually decide the next president of the United States. Sorry I keep talking about it but it totally fascinates me.

By this time next week, I will be done with my Japanese exam and will officially be in a one-month vacation from classes. Yeay!

Before?
