As I did not get a review out last night, here are two three movie reviews for the price of one, three movies that I watched on the way to and from France over Golden Week.

( The Kite Runner )

( Charlie Wilson's War )

I don't usually hate movies. I may find them dull, or idiotic, or badly written/acted/directed, but rarely do they make me seethe. This one did. ( 27 Dresses )

I've been tagged! (by zen_strike)

1. Post about something that made you happy today even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this everyday for a week without fail.
3. Tag 8 of your friends to do the same.

Today, I was made happy by my delicious sandwich: roast pork, thinly-sliced apple, melted gouda cheese and mustard (the hot kind) on toasted bread. The pretty red leaves reflected in the water in Inokashira Park made me smile, and my kids exclaiming, "Oh my gosh! Ms. Adele is a dinosaur!" made me laugh.

(They always say this after lunch, for some reason. Sometimes I'm an alien, or a monster, or a lion -- and I figured out that they only call me a lion on days my hair is particularly fluffy -- or a ghost, but more often than not I'm a scary dinosaur. I usually oblige them by pretending to be hungry for little girls and boys, so that they can run away from me, shrieking with laughter. ^_^)

Tagging whoever would like to be tagged. It's never too early to spread cheer, holiday or otherwise, so come on, people! What's making you happy?

ETA: Another thing that made me happy was that our manager at work was making the school's New Year card, using a Japanese site where you can choose a background/image and add faces in. She chose a something-Rangers theme, and I get to be the red one! XD
