Here it is Tuesday night of Reading Week, and I have not accomplished near what I should have by now. There are too many other emotional things to deal with when ever I get a break and finally get to come home, what ever home is these days. Not here, not there. I had this terrible urge to bake today, but this is not my house, so I can't bake here. Which kind of ruins the whole vaccation thing. That isn't too much to ask is it? The sad part about it is that I am so torn. I want to go 'home' where I can bake, and be with my family. I miss them, and I like to think that they miss me too. However, I also want to be here. I want to go to this Ceili here on Saturday night, which is when I am supposed to be at home. Sigh. So, part of me wants to go home for a few days during the week, and come back here for Saturday, but how? Nothing ever works out. I can never have the best of both worlds. However, I must say, I have gotten quite a bit of good visiting in thus far. As much as can be expected for now, at least. I can't expect everything, right? It will all be over soon and Iwill be back to the drag again. Much too soon.

In the mean time I am taking in lots of movies. I want to go see Adaptation yet, which looks good. I liked "Being John Malcovitch" and am looking forward to this one. I did go to see "Heaven" as you will see noted above. This movie was very interesting to me. I really liked the Colours Trilogy, (Bleu, Blanc, and Rouge), and wonder how this movie might have turned out had Krzysztof Kieslowski directed it. It was a very artfully directed film, and I really liked that about it. However, it was quite a shock to see Kate Blanchet with a shaved head. (No she doesn't become a skin head or anything. She looks more like a Buddhist nun to me.) If you can, go see it. I am wondering about the nominated Best Foreign films for this year, and if I will be able to fit them in before Oscar time. We will see. Such a disappointment with Amelie last year. But that is another entry.
