Chris and I watched "The Saddest Music in the World" last night. On the whole, I liked the movie. The cinematography was great- it was shot in grainy, jumpy black and white, which emphasizes the time when the movie was set (during the Depression). It did, on the other hand, have a lot of very cliche moments, and moments of revelation that I saw coming LONG in advance. Maybe this was the point? Who knows.

On a brighter note, Gramma gave me 2 dwarf hamsters. We picked them up yesterday from the pet store. Click here to see some pictures of them. They still don't have names, but I'm trying to change that. We're thinking "Sweetie Pea" for the darker one, because she's ... so... sweet. The other one is insane. Like the rest of the family...?

Tomorrow, Chris and I are going away for a mini-vacation. We're going to Niagra Falls and Niagra on the Lake. It'll be nice to get away from school and work... We're attending the opening performance of Shaw's "Pygmalion" at the Shaw Festival tomorrow night - we have been advised to wear ultra-fancy clothes. I considered bringing my fur, but I don't think there's enough room in the car... sigh.
