Books, Music and Movies (plus Technical Note)Reading: The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank. I picked this up a few months ago, and then put it down when I got near the end. I kind of didn't want to get to the end because well, we all know how it ends, and it's just so sad. It especially bothers me that she and her sister died only a few months before the camps were liberated. Anyway, I finished it yesterday. I love reading journals and this is no exception. Even putting aside (as much as you can) the big Holocaust story behind it, it still stands up as a well written and engaging read.Listening: Buffy Sainte-Marie - She Used to Want to be a BallerinaDusty Springfield - Dusty in MemphisBob Dylan - Highway 61 RevisitedWatching: The Shady Hill Kidnapping (1982) starring George Grizzard, Polly Holliday and Celeste Holm. A wonderful and darkly humorous John Cheever play about the fictional town of Shady Hill, Connecticut. I saw this on PBS back when it came out and was thrilled to find it is now available on DVD.Ratatouille (2007) starring Patton Oswalt and Janeane Garofalo, among others. Cute Pixar entertainment about being different and creative and loving food, featuring rats and people.Technical Note I've begun the process of changing hosts so this site might go off line briefly.Labels: listening, reading, technology, watching posted by Miss Rachel 3/17/2008 09:26:00 AM . . .
