How am I? Good, rested from another weekend stay at my co-worker’s flat. The weather has been perfect lately, not too hot and not wet.
I’ve had a lot of time to myself lately with the holiday festivities so I did a lot of reading and watched lots of movies. I had to download a computer program that now I can view DVDs that are not meant to be seen by American computers. It’s called VLC and actually I wasn’t able to download it myself, I needed help. But finally I got it on my computer so everyone is loaning me DVDs to watch.
Last week I watched Fiddler on the Roof. It’s been a long time since I watched that. I even had a triple feature the other day, I watched Love Actually, August Rush, and Fair Game. A real nice mixture of very good movies. Fair Game was the only movie I had not seen before and it was food for thought that President Bush and his cronies did lie to the American people about the Iraqis trying to develop a nuclear bomb. Yet his fall guy took a couple of years in prison and a pardon and everything was smoothed over. I hope America never becomes like the third world countries that are so corrupt the heads of states can do anything and get away with it. Yet that is exactly what happened back then. The White House even released the name of a secret agent, the whistle blower’s wife, and as the movie showed, maybe 15 scientists and their families were never seen again because of this spiteful action. That was also against the law, a crime. I truly dislike politics.
Speaking of politics, I am so annoyed at Congress that I can’t even express how I feel. How stupid can they be? Yeah, pretty stupid to close the country and have it cost over $1 billion a day while they talk.
And today is Gandhi’s birthday and a National Holiday in India. He was such a great man with such noble plans and hopes for the future of his country and look what happened here. Politics!
I’m going to post this so you know I’m alive but I’ll have to start putting down my thoughts to remind me of what I want to tell you. This week is pretty much a wash, as far as work goes but next week is starting to look like it may get busy. This week I’m still helping my friends close up their old flat, get their new home livable, my co-worker (the owner of the home) is in hospital for a test, my supervisor, the Head of Nursing is away and will be back to meet with me next Monday. I’ll go to my other co-workers flat for the last weekend before he returns but the Dutch girl that was staying there leaves tonight for Bangkok so I’ll be all alone there. For nothing happening here, there’s a lot going on!
I’ll fill in the blanks next time.
Love,
Marie
