bearshortyHappy birthday, Marianna!
Mario Vargas Llosa won the Nobel Prize for literature this morning. I have never read his work. Papa read one of his books a long time ago in Russia and he really liked it. I think I will go through Amazon’s author’s page and pick one of his books to read sometime soon – they do sound interesting.
Hee. Lifetime is making a reality show about Brighton Beach . Brighton Beach is a center of the Russian-American community in Brooklyn. It is a long avenue with some side streets that has lots of food stores and an awesome Russian bookstore and other stores and some fancy restaurants. A subway passes over it and that adds character. There is also a nice boardwalk and an actual beach that is quite popular in the summer. My parents and I visit there occasionally when we go to visit my grandparents in Brooklyn. I find the idea of a reality show based there very amusing. I might even check it out.
I saw today that “Battlestar Gallactica” is now on Netflix Instant Play. Well, at least it will be easy to rewatch my favorite scene when they crawl into my head.
Buffy Season 8 #37 I actually liked this issue – a first in many issues. Finally we are getting some answers and the plot is moving forward. Most importantly the characters act in character. And having Spike there proving his sarcastic commentary always livens things up. I’m glad Season 8 is over soon, and I hope the rest of the story would really pull this season together.
Bones S6E3 I love that Bones watches “Jersey Shore” for fun because she is fascinated as an anthropologist. Bones reacting to Hannah moving in with Booth was the best acting she has done. I feel sad for her. I really wish that this show would be brave enough to leave Booth with Hannah, since that is how life choices really work. It was a decent episode but as usually this show goes overboard with subcultures and over stereotypes. Girl hangout in the end was very nice.
