Pedro Almodovar's Newest Film "Broken Embraces"

Just wanted to share with you a trailer for Pedro Almodovar's newest film, "Los Abrazos Rotos" or "Broken Embraces".  I can't wait to see it here in the US.  Viva Pedro!

On Language : The World in Words

If you enjoy languages and learning about words as much as I do, I would highly recommend this podcast from Public Radio International, The World in Words.  It is incessantly interesting and each episode is only 20 or so minutes.  

Ich bin nicht ein berliner, aber ich mochte ein.

Happy Earth Day!

Today was such a lovely day. It was just perfect, being Earth Day and a beautiful introduction to Spring. I look forward to the greening of Chicago in the next few weeks.

St. Patrick's Day

Looking forward to going to the parade this year again. Anyone else going?

SNOW MOBILE IN SAUGATUCK, MI

Decided to transfer some of my videos and photos from my digital camera tonight and came across some videos I posted on youtube. This was in February, when Chris, my brother and I went to Rob's cottage to go snow mobiling and hang out in Saugatck. Can't wait until Summer to go there on the boat!

Twitter

Do you tweet? I have been for a while and have been reading in the news the new people joining. I wish I would understand it more though. I can't think of always been online on my computer to know the latest news and updates on friends and people I'm following, so I set the updates to be received by text messages, which I like. However, the other day my phone would not stop vibrating furiously from an inundated of updates! I received a total of about 120! I would never read that many text messages especially if they are not directed to me specifically. So even though I like Twitter, I honestly don't know how to use it. If you have any advice or suggestions on how you do, I'm all eyes to read your comments.
