random stuff

So, I did finish "the Kite Runner"... the story was very captivating, and I enjoyed finding familiar stuff in Afghan world. kind of made me realize I didn't know much about Afghanistan after all! anyway, definitely recommend it, you don't need to be a hard-core fiction lover to enjoy this book. Maybe I'll wait a while before watching the movie though.

I also watched Santoori, the latest film by Darius Mehrjooee and I gotta say I was a bit disappointed. It definitely does not measure up to his previous films. I thought the acting was mainly ok, didn't like the soundtrack though, which is a shame since the movie is kind of about music. All on all, don't beat yourself up if you don't get a chance to watch it!

Still not feeling too excited about anything, this is just the freakin' cold I guess... I can't imagine living in a place that has a few months of winter as cold as this!!

Well, to wrap up(!!!) here's a song from Laleh Pourkarim I've been listening to a lot lately. She's got some really good songs, but this is the only one I own right now! enjoy!

The state of minimum energy...

That's where I'm stuck these days I think. Can't post anything here for some unknown reason!... have been mostly busy with school and, in my free time, reading "the kite runner" (I know, it's a shame I'm reading it this late), and learning how to swim (well, I think it's also a shame that I can't already swim!).

Anyway, one good thing is that Bahman is in Vancouver and it's always great catching up with friends! Also, LOST will be back on next week! :)

So I just wait until the muse strikes me again to write something here... you never know, I may always watch a good movie to write about!

forgive, but not forget

... that's the way you should act I guess. But sometimes for me it is the opposite! I forget and think that I forgive, but then at some point I realize I am still angry or sad about whatever that had happened... it probably makes me a weak person, and I'm not sure what I can do about it!

But we can still be friends

...if only I had a penny for every time someone told me this!

and just for the record, it hardly ever works.

The cheese to my macoroni...

I went and watched my first 2008 movie and it was probably the best I could pick! Juno is the sweetest movie you can possibly make about teenage pregnancy. The story is so simple you wonder how such a great movie could be made out of it! It's full of indie songs that really help the independent feel of the movie and I absolutely love the lead actress... also, the dialogs are very funny and sometimes really sweet too. I think I need to watch it again to understand all the high school slangs that were being thrown around. Definitely watch it! Here's a song from the soundtrack:

" ...I had a dream that I had to drive to Madison
To deliver a painting for some silly reason
I took a wrong turn and ended up in Michigan
Paul Baribeau took me to the giant tire swing..."
