1- Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie – “Babel”
2- Tom Hanks – “Starter for Ten”
3- Penelope Cruz – “Volver”
4- Jennifer Lopez – “El Cantante”
5- Jude Law – “All The King’s Men”

There will be some major name-dropping among the Yorkville crowd, I can tell! Choose three of the ones you don’t mind seeing in person… Mine would be number 7, 9 and 10…

“An artist is a person who thinks more than there is to think, feels more than there is to feel, and sees more than there is to see.”

– Doctor, you must help me (begging). I’m under such a lot of stress; I can’t stop losing my temper.
– Tell me about your problem (sympathetically).
– I just did, didn’t I? You idiot (angrily)!

Max is lost… He is lost since the day I came back from my vacation… God knows where he is…

The little new guy is replacing Max… I don’t know his name… I don’t even know if he does have one! So I’ll just call him “the little new guy”… He is staring at me with the biggest smile ever… I’m in love with his long hair… A combination of white and orange floating all around his face and in the air… His yellow boots are the hippest boots I’ve ever seen…

I like the little funky new guy… His generous smile puts a smile upon my face too…

Hundreds and hundreds of innocent people including children were killed in the last 34 days and now both sides are loudly proclaiming victory…

This is absolutely sick…

The full moon last night was not only one of the prettiest I have ever seen but the strangest one!!! It was like the sun, shining in the dark…

So I made my biggest wish… I prayed to the man above for a miracle…

After reading few good critics in the paper, I finally bought the book “Lost Girls and Love Hotels” by Catherine Hanrahan and just started reading it…

Apparently it’s about a Canadian girl who is doing everything in her power to forget home, and Tokyo’s exotic nightlife enables her to keep her demons at bay… Somehow it reminds me of the film “Lost in Translation” (god knows why!)

So far so good… Will keep you posted as it goes…

So I’m back from the best vacation ever… After a year of hard work with absolutely no time off, this two-week vacation was a gift from heaven…

Hilaire Belloc once said: “We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.”

I’m now fresh, back on the track at work with thousands of emails to catch up 🙂

LaterZ…
