Car I hit with

Troublesome Travel

(土星衝海王星 2/28 7:01am) Today is 2/26/2007

First, I crashed into a car in IAD parking lot right before Eric's flight arrival.
Lost my sense of direction from IAD to DC but somehow we ended up in Old Town Va.
Then received a parking meter violation ticket for $25 at Old Town Virginia
Got lost again from Old Town Va back to IAD
Lost for 1.5 hours.....just driving aimlessly
Finally when we reached IAD poor Eric had missed his flight by 20 mins
AND
continuning with the bad luck streak:
we came to the wrong airport !

However, he managed to sleep over in the Altalanta airport , and it just occured to me that I should have offered him a blanket to bring with him.....Oh... I'm can be so absent minded sometime...

Of Course
I was lost again on the way home


As much as I want to blame it on the cosmo change, Eric simple stated the wisdom:
"The road to happiness is strewn with setbacks"
Ha, that just made my day into a good day^^

Initial Prep.

2/18 morning 收到 Eric的email. Email 中提到有兩件事,

Film Homework : Malena

Malena (2000)

When 12-year-old Renato catches a glimpse of beautiful new bride Malèna (Monica Bellucci), his heart skips a beat. But when jealous town busybodies begin spreading vile rumors about Malèna, Renato must incorporate those falsehoods with what he knows to be true. A coming-of-age story set in Sicily during World War II, Malèna exposes the effect waggish gossip can have. Director:Giuseppe Tornatore

After Thoughts:

It's so beautiful to watch the misfortunes from up and above.

Film Homework : In America

In America (2002)
Academy Award-winning director Jim Sheridan brings authenticity and grit to this heartwarming drama about an Irish family starting life anew in early-1980s America. With their two daughters in tow, Johnny (Paddy Considine) and Sarah (Samantha Morton) leave Ireland and head to New York so Johnny can pursue an acting career. What follows is a series of adventures, both comical and terrifying, as they struggle to make the most of their new life.
Director:Jim Sheridan

After Thought:

Dreaming is the bridge connecting fantasy to reality.
