Road Trip

Hi, y’all, on the this somewhat rainy Sunday afternoon.  It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything, I know, but I’m still here.  I think. 

Netflix finally sent me The Reader last week.  Personally, I thought it was pretty much on par with the book, though Kate Winslet’s performance was excellent.  Definitely worth all the buzz she got.  One riff:  in the book, Michael had hepatitis, while in the movie, he had scarlet fever.  Why was this changed?  What possible artistic gain was achieved by it? 

I also watched Mongol last week.  This was a much better movie, in my opinion.  My sister wouldn’t watch it because it’s in Mongolian so you have to read the subtitles as you watch.  She says that distracts her from the movie.  I wonder how she plans to watch Apocolypto, which is in Mayan?

Anyway, here’s a little something I’ve been working on, perfect for summer vacations.
