movies watched this weekend:Country of My Skull: I found the love story a bit cheesy in a way that it was not neccessary and somehow distracted, but as the kids in South Park always said 'I learnt something today', I did too, a great deal. Any suggestions for following reading?
Dancer in the dark: for the 3rd time but the only time that I was actually able to finish the movie, maybe because this time I watched it together with someone else. 2 previous attempts failed because I found it too crule and real. Life is hard, it forces people to the conner.
Current reading:Veronica decides to die - typical Paulo Coelho I would say, not much surprise yet so far, but still have like 100 pages to go.
Extremely loud and incredibly close - Jonathan Aafran Foer (he was born in 1977, which made 2 people shouted 'he's born in the same year of mine' with a not-too-happy-but-what-can-I-do look). This book looks like a huge red block but very easy read, for the weekend, I already finished more than 250 pages. I love this book, it feels like falling into a secrete passage, and I have the feeling that I don't want to read it fast cuz once it finishs I will be sad. The same when I was reading 'the hours'.
Currently good news:after paying another 50 euro to the 'Alien'office here, I finally got my visa till end of Feb...50 euro for a few more months' worry-free of how-long-i-can-stay is probably worthy.
Rhein is beautiful by its river bank if winter is not that harsh...and the Sunday myth in Beijing (sun only comes out in SUNdays) also happens here, rain strikes back today firecely again.
wish you have better weather, or at least heating in place.
