thanks for your kind comments! I am a little better today - getting closer to the weekend and to my husband coming here.

as far as feeling "odd" when I went to Japan, I can't remember so much. Of course things were different, but it was so much slower and easier since I had my husband to help with things and I didn't have to take care of so many things. I know I'll be feeling more comfortable soon - and hopefully Leo will too:)

Ah - the Girl with the Pearl Earring - I remember you saying you didn't like it, but I had such high expectations since it has Colin Firth, Cillian Murphy and Scarlett (who I really like most of the time). But to be honest, I was disappointed by it. I thought it was slow, and it ended kind of abruptly - I was like "that's it?" and totally expecting more. Oh well. but Colin Firth was kind of hot in that movie - and Cillian was cute! no one really talked much, though. I didn't give it a second viewing (as I do with movies I really like)...

was Picasso hot? I don't know much about his life.

thanks again for your comments. You made me laugh, which was great!!

Yeah, Picasso was hot... hold on, let me show you...






...in my opinion, anyway. LoL. I know tons about Picasso. Just ask! =P We were discussing him tonight in art class, Cubism and stuff like that, and the stupid pooface teacher kept messing up...and I kept correcting him. POOFACE. Finally, I told him "Uhhh...it's in the book." and he said, "Is that where you're getting this from?" and I said "No...actually, I know all of this already...but uh...we ARE on chapter 19..." and he got his book out of his stupid brown leather briefcase and opened it up.

POOFACE!


You're very right...the movie was really quiet. When it was over, I was like, "...and? ...AND?" I had high expectations as well. I would've liked to have seen the relationship with Vermeer and Griet develop more. Colin Firth radiates with sensuality to me, especially in this movie, and also in "Pride and Prejudice." *fans self* I refuse to watch the recent version, because I am so enamored with the Colin Firth version. We studied it senior year, and all of us girls [[even Mrs Styers, the teacher]] were just swooning over him. LMAO. "Ohhh, Mr Darcy...!"

Scarlett's best role is in "Ghost World." It's just a natural role and she doesn't try so hard, like in "Girl with the pearl earring." It also has a fave of mine, Thora Birch. I've mentioned her before, I think...I used to want to be her character. LMAO. The red patent leather Doc Martens are homage to Birch's character in "Ghost World." AWESOME MOVIE.

How's Leo? I hope things will improve...I really think they will. Just take deep breaths! =P Did you check out those links I gave you?

thanks so much for all of those links:) Leo thanks you too! sorry I didn't reply to your earlier message - I have meant to! I haven't had time to look at all of the links yet, but I will this weekend. I've been so busy this week. Leo is still crying, but he seems to be getting a bit better. Only a few more days until Masahiko is here, so Leo's mood should improve. I hope:)

those are some cool pics of Picasso. I've never seen pictures of him when he was young - he was handsome!

Colin Firth is really beautiful - and I absolutely adored his version of "Pride and Prejudice" - that is the only version as far as I'm concerned. gorgeous Mr.Darcy - and I loved the girl who played Elizabeth. she was beautiful and so classy. not like that mousy Keira Knightly.

Have you seen Lost in Translation? that is my favorite of Scarlett's roles - she is perfect in it! She's pretty good in Match Point too - and the Island (which has hot Ewan McGregor!)...
