All She's Got?

Google is featuring some thing on their page… Museums of the World - now introducing the Art Project, powered by Google. Yet when I clicked it, Google power seemed weak:

Letters Home from an American Expatriate in Cancerland

Peter Freundlich, former news writer for Anderson Cooper, died last month after struggling with esophageal cancer. He left behind a blog he called Esoph's Fables. I strive for his level of eloquence and pith.

This isn't snow, it's rain! Nature fails.

Hint Hint!

On the side of a bus: Your roommate is dating the flu.

Bonding with the T-Virus

Ugh. Processing a bit of a hang-over so I'm making this Resident Evil Day. Going to watch all three movies in anticipation of Afterlife coming out this Friday.

Missed

On the train today four French-speaking tourists got on and sat nearby. I love listening to French… nothing like native speakers to remind me how poorly I speak it. They were rattling on as if no one around could understand them—mostly true. They were annoyed with the weather and hoping to find Times Square. I almost spoke up.

Unfortunately I remember the polite but pained expressions of my friends from Lausanne when I butchered their language. Plus the guy sitting next to me was way too cute (dark features with pale blue eyes!!). So I sat there with a bemused expression on my face while picking out snatches of meaning from their prattle.

My courage finally peaked a few seconds after I got off the train. *sigh* Won't let that happen again! Next time, cute or not, I will frighten tourists with my boldness and poor ability to communicate.

Failure?

Was really excited when I inadvertently saw some of the scene's from M. Night Shyamalan's Avatar: The Last Airbender. Really enjoyed all three “Books” from Nickelodeon so I was dubious about seeing them being somehow manipulated/condensed into a movie. Just now glanced over a critic collection from iVillage entitled “Is 'Last Airbender' the Worst Movie of All Time?” *sigh* Might still catch it in the theaters this week, but maybe I'll save my disappointment for DVD.
