Rollerblading tonight was a bit of an obstacle course. There was a beach fair – lots of services were advertizing and a bouncy castle - so there was a sizable crowd walking slowly in the middle of the beach road I rollerblade on. So I had to get through it slowly there and back. But it was good to get out of the house.
“Never Let Me Go” As I thought, this movie is very sad but interesting sci-fi. I really need to read Kazuo Ishiguro – the movies based on his books are always sad and emotional but very human and often about missed opportunities. This movie was more about the time people are given in life. So I did like it but it was sad. I do adore Carey Mulligan.
An interesting article from The New York Times about the famine in Somalia. There was another article about the Western media and how it is not paying too much attention to it.

My results I know as many words as the top average native English speaker which I think is pretty good. And since I’m a geek I looked up all the words I didn’t know in my Kindle dictionary.
