Where were you and what were you doing when you heard the results? Tipu and I were wearing matching Obama shirts watching CNN while eating sushi and Taco Bell at home.

This movie was an entire waste of time. It was neither informative nor entertaining. It was actually painfully annoying. All of the world leaders were reduced to caricatures. Annoying caricatures. I don’t see what the point of this movie was. I’m sure Oliver Stone will make money off it because it’s election season.

Body of Lies

If you’ve seen the commercials for this movie you would think the main characters in this movie are fighting against each other. I’m not sure why the studio decided to market it it that way. Regardless, the movie has little to do with what you think it has to do with. It’s about a CIA operative working in the Middle East. He (played by Dicaprio) and his boss (played by Crowe) are trying to find the mastermind behind a series of bombings occurring in Europe. The audience learns of the complex espionage networks that the CIA works/competes with in order to find the answers they need. It’s hard to say how accurate their portrayal of Arab life/culture/politics is so I can’t comment on that.

Their Tandoori chicken pizza with green peppers, onions, mushrooms and generous cheese is something to try if you’re in the neighbourhood.

Ok, so I’m up to eat at 4am. 5am is rolling around and I have a few minutes to kill so I turn on the tv. I graze through the channels and find the most interesting work out show I’ve ever seen. I thought it was a hoax. There was an Indian man dressed in a heavily embroidered dark blue silk shirt doing Bollywood dance moves with three or four women behind him. The women were dressed like sparkly superheroes. I couldn’t make this up. I keep expecting someone to yell cut and a director who’s auditioning the group to say something like… “that’s really interesting but not what we had in mind”. It keeps going though. I realize slowly that this is all intentional. It’s the most entertained I’ve ever been at 5am. You have to check it out. It’s very informative. It looks like a great work out and where else will someone teach you Bollywood dance moves on tv in Canada? I am not making this up. Someone please see it. There are two shows each weekday at 5am and 9am on Canadian Learning Television. The host is Rohan D’Silva. Here’s a link.

On a completely unrelated topic, fasting is going great. I am greatly pleased and utterly shocked with my abilities this year. The food and drink thing has proved surmountable. The sleep thing a bit more tricky but I have been working on it. I am so proud of myself. I even overslept one day and thought for sure I wouldn’t be able to keep my fast. I went to school with emergency provisions and didn’t have to use them. I just kept myself busy and before I knew it it was sundown. Very light workouts in the evening have helped me sleep much earlier than I ever have. It also regulates my brain explosions. I am definately over eating. However I won’t stop that. I am drinking more water than I have in years. I’m doing really well.

Hi, me again. I found a little snippet. I think they wear different outfits each time.
