Apres Vous!

I just got back from a great movie to recommend! I decided to go to the cinema since it is currently so oppressively hot here; however, when I arrived the a/c was broken! I was
tempted to turn around and go home, but I stuck it out. It wasn't so bad..they had several fans and there were not too terribly many people in attendance.

The sound track was great; in particular one song stuck out in my mind: (Papa Tango Charly )
Listen to it here:
It's track 6 on this page:

What do others think of this movie?

I too miss my Nokia

I too recently had to give up my old red Nokia phone. In order to sign a new contract with my service provider, I needed a phone capable of interacting with more types of networks. I ended up going with the Kyocera pictured above. If I'd been able to, I would have loved to stay with my old Nokia. That phone was great--great reception and a battery that kept going and going and going.

Fat Cat!

He doesn't know it yet, but my cat is starting a diet tomorrow. Last month, we went to the vet for yearly vaccinations and he weighed in at nearly 17 pounds. The vet recommended switching to a lower calorie food. I know it will be for the best, but I hope he stays happy. I do want him around for years to come. All his life he's eaten Science Diet Natural Shapes; tomorrow he will get a mix of Science Diet Light Adult Formula. His old food had great shapes of fish, chicken legs and starfishes;the new food is just round balls. Will he eat it? The old food is much more appealing. I hope he realized the round balls are food! He doesn't even eat cat treats--just moves them around with his paws. Tomorrow will be the test!

Sissies

I really love the public radio show _This American Life_ out of WBEZ in Chicago. This was a great program, I love the intro especially. Take a listen.

Are there any other Ira Glass fans out there? His voice is so different from what you normally hear on radio.
