Recent movies
They don't have Netflix here, but they do have something just as good: DVDs that cost about 50 cents a piece. How do they do that? Piracy! But the quality's good, and, I tell myself, I wouldn't have bought the original at full price anyway, so they're not losing anything. (It's true, I never bought a DVD before coming here.)
Anyway, here are my latest purchases, waiting for me to find the necessary cable to hook my laptop up to a TV, so I don't have to watch them on a 10" screen.
* The Motorcycle Diaries -- Che Guevara goes on a road trip
* The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- you're a geek, I don't need to explain this one
* The Interpreter -- drama involving Nicole Kidman as an interpreter at the UN, and Sean Penn as a federal agent. I got this one mainly because they filmed it right outside my door while I was working at the UN last year.
A full report will be forthcoming, once I find that cable!

OOOOh Motorcycle diaries is on my list...I like the main actor (I can't spell his name, otherwise I would insert it here....)I saw him in "Y tu Mama tabien".
You were working at the UN last year? In New York? Were you aware that I used to work at one of their offices in D.C. in my pre-IRSA/USCR days?
I don't think so... were you at UNHCR?
Yeah, I was up in New York...for two months... almost long enough to pretend I lived there. Coolest assignment ever!
Actually I was with their Information Centre. The job sucked but it is kinda nice being able to put it in the old resume.
sigh. I love NYC. I am going there over July 4th. I am really looking forward to some real summer weather. Summer in San Fran means you have to wear a jacket and sweater. We even have to put on the heat sometimes it gets so cold. One of the down falls of living I guess.
