Film Festival Update

I just saw a French film called The Grocer's Son which was sweet and lovely but a trifle too long. The scenery of Southern France got me thinking a bit about Demeter and I found it enjoyable.

Though I've decided to not see another film today, I had a nice time hanging out in the film festival tent and had some yummy lunch, but I think one film a day makes more sense to me. It seems that there's this agreement that for a film to be arty it has to be almost two hours long and slow even the one I saw last night had its moments when a good editor really wouldn't have hurt.

Tomorrow I'm going to see a film called Man on Wire about a tightrope walker who walked between the Twin Towers so that should be fascinating. Oh and the weather is giving me the hint to hide inside which is just fine with me and the family with lots of Moroccan connections are here so we're having lamb tangine with quince tonight.

Holiday Stuff

Since my friend's list is providing reminders for me. I believe I have a lot of people's addresses but if you're not sure if I do please comment here and comments are screened.

I will be sending out cards and possibly baked goods if you're interested in baked goods but have any sorts of allergies or dislikes, please add it along with your comment.

I make no promises on stuff arriving before the Holidays but will do my utter best and will post my address in the US, at least my parent's one under a locked post soon.
