... that's how long it took me to become a permanent resident in another country! As of yesterday, I am officially an immigrant. Not sure if I'm supposed to be happy or sad!!! (don't get me wrong though, I totally appreciate the fact that my whole existence in Canada no longer expires every 12 months!!!)
I think December is really not my month! I'm done fighting. Guess you can't have everything you want! And life goes on, regardless of all this.
:) thanks everyone for your positive thoughts, it worked! also Somayeh, you can have any positive thoughts sent to me after 2:30 p.m. Pacific Time! :)

Dear readers, lo and behold that my exam is finally close enough for me to completely ignore it! It's tomorrow and there's nothing I can do right now except sit and wait! Positive thoughts are welcome!
With my comprehensive exam coming up in four days (yikes!), I had to go back to my late night movie routine, so I went and watched "I'm not there" and truly enjoyed it! I've already written about other movies I've seen about Bob Dylan's life and career. This one though, was different. It's not a documentary, not even a real biography. Todd Haynes has made this amazing mix of different story lines, each inspired by "music and many lives of Bob Dylan"... If you know Dylan, his songs, and some important turning points in his musical and personal life, you'll immensely enjoy this film. Otherwise you might end up all confused and frustrated after watching a long movie about some crazy characters. I definitely recommend watching "no direction home" before going to see this movie.
I can write about each and every character in the movie, but it will be too long and you gotta watch the movie for yourself anyway. I just have to say that Cate Blanchett's performance was FREAKIN' AWESOME...
Soundtrack is great too, of course! (Duh!!!) The soundtrack that's out in the stores has all cover songs of Dylan performed by other artists. In the movie though, most songs are originals. Here's a favorite song of mine and many others.
On a side note: DO NOT, under any circumstances, watch August Rush! terrible movie!
