It's gonna be a long day. I've got only one class today, but I'm supposed to assist in a Batik workshop for some kids visiting from China, plus there's a Parent-Teacher Meeting this evening for the Year Ones. I haven't been to the gym all week; am seriously becoming self-conscious about my double chin. Definitely gonna have to hit the weights tomorrow to make myself feel better. I've started and stopped The God of Small Things, and started instead on Sebastian Barry's The Secret Scripture. Determined to see it through. Have also planned a movie marathon tomorrow- hopefully I'll be awake and alive enough to go for my workout and then sit in the dark from 10:30 till 19:20 or thereabouts. Phew. Gonna watch Changeling, Milk and Rachel Getting Married. Yes, the Oscars will soon be upon us. Real glad that Slumdog Millionaire stormed the Golden Globes. Good to see a film set in a recognizable Asia (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon thus not counted) being recognized by the mainstream and wonderful to finally have perennial nominee Kate Winslet winning not one but TWO awards. Can't wait to catch Revolutionary Road. Loved the book, can only hope the movie is just as devastating.
