I saw two films today, House of Flying Daggers and Million Dollar Baby. House of Flying Daggers was a terrific blend of action, romance and some of the most beautiful cinematography ever put to film. If you liked Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and wished for a story with more emotonal depth, this is your answer. Million Dollar Baby is not just a boxing film, it’s a finely crafted drama that touches on important themes of mentorship, family and loss. The latter third of the film is incredibly moving, a surprisingly authentic struggle. If you can handle a bit of blood you’ll be rewarded with fine acting and moments that will inspire sadness and hope.
Wikipes is a promising new site that presents a community-contributed collection of recipies based on the wiki format, allowing anyone to submit recipes as well as add to and comment upon existing ones. It’s a project I believe could become a resource that a wide range of people would find useful. I’m hoping the non-alcoholic drinks portion will expand soon. Throw some of your own favourites up there.

My boots are also biting the dust. Too many cracks, I’m just dreading getting written up by a supervisor.
You might want to check out the Sears bargain place, they have some decent $20 boots.
It’s funny how attached we can become to some things, isn’t it? I wore one pair of combat boots all through high school, and they were without a doubt the best boots I ever had. They got pretty beaten up, but I don’t like the idea of throwing them away, for some reason : /
I can’t even replace them, ’cause the army surplus store has since gone out of business. *Sigh*
A good pair of boots are very important to own, I believe. The memories I associate with those boots are what made parting with them a bit les easy than I’d like, even though they were mighty comfortable.
