Wrestling Ernest Hemingway

~ brought to you by Kikamz ~

We're featuring Sandra Bullock for today's Tuesday Couch Potatoes. Now what's up with me is I read the actress's bio more than watch her films. I've heard of The Proposal and Premonition, but haven't seen any of them yet; haven't even seen Crash (pathetic, I know =)) I have the DVD of The Lakehouse, but have forgotten most of it. Of course I've watched Miss Congeniality, but vaguely remember Hope Floats, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Practical Magic, Speed, and While You Were Sleeping. Among Sandra Bullock's movies, there's one I would like to watch: Wrestling Ernest Hemingway


Sandra Bullock plays Frank's (Richard Harris, Headmaster Dumbledore in Harry Potter I and II) friend with whom Walter (Robert Duvall) misbehaves. I'm curious about two old men bickering over a gorgeous young woman :-) Released 16 years ago, the film has even more appeal to me now. I'm an incurable sucker for things old, that's one of the whys. The other why is the sound of 'Ernest Hemingway.' It's literature! If you like drama-romance or are after the acting of academy award winners, I guess you'll have fun with this movie.

Hi Kikamz, I deliberately listed a few of Sandra's movies to also remind myself that there is more entertainment value to look forward to as soon as the day job allows :)

Watch out for the urchin

Friends and I went island-hopping last year. My phone was changing indications of where we were several times. Names are difficult to read, much less remember. The main island where we hopped from is called Koh Chang or Elephant island. We went to five islets each taking about 15 minutes to reach. In a stop one of my friends encountered a sea urchin. They say a pee would cure the sting. I don't know if it's true. Another thing I heard about urchins is they could sense and would crawl towards human presence. Probably for more prickly attention? Although sometimes paradise has a price, the sky was blue, the sun was shining, the weather perfect and the breeze was just what our city-dwelling lungs needed. All is well. *** My World Tuesday is brought to you by Klaus and the My World Team Sandy , Wren , Fishing Guy , Sylvia

Pretentious Diet

Our Weekend Memoirs: Dieting on Eggs Please scroll down for Sunday Stealing The chinese guy selling noodles in front of 7 Eleven also sells eggs. I wanted to buy some but he was busy with his customers and I couldn't wait. Back in front of the pc, a recent report that Margaret Thatcher's pre-election victory diet included 28 eggs a week had me reading more than I normally would big news. She is said to have told an interviewer that she had "no special dieting regime." Her pocket diary, which was released by the Margaret Thatcher Archive Trust seems to have revealed otherwise. But don't we all sometimes like to keep others wondering? The Iron Lady's husband though gives it to us straight and cool. When asked "who wears the pants in this house?" He replied, "I do. And I also iron them." This anecdote is exactly what I thought of while my southeast asian ass err... blood was quivering in the London cold as I stood on this famous street. Then M...
