Last night, this morning rather, around a quarter to three, I finished reading The Time Traveler's Wife. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will be purchasing the book (the one I read came from the library). I spent about six hours finishing it, simply could not put it down. I balled at the end. The tears probably started welling up with a hundred pages to go. I want to see the movie now. I heard it was good. I think it will be lacking a lot though..the book had what seemed to me to be, so much pertinent stuff. Anyway, I think it could be shelved in my top 20.

Looking back through my completed task, I realized I did post anything about the foreign film I watched. I chose Amelie. I'd been wanting to see it for years. I had a couple of friends that just raved about it..along with critics and awards. I must say though, that I was a little disappointed. It didn't suck, but by no means was it something to write home about. It took me around two weeks to get through it..if that tells you anything. I did like the music though, and there were some fun ideas in it.

I did my first random act of kindness the other day at work the other day (9.29.09). I was talking about home-cooked meals with a guest last week and this week. I had a taste for mac & cheese, so I made some. I had a fairly large amount, so I took some to him. I almost didn't want to give it to him, because it wasn't as good as usual. I did however, and he said it was good. He seemed quite appreciative.

Finally, I'm sad to report that I've already failed one of my task. I didn't get around to making a new recipe during the month of September. I will still keep track of new recipes though. What upsets me most about this, is that it was an easy task.
