Abba-dabba-doo

Sorry for the non-food time wasting here, but last night on our way home from dinner w and I heard this story on BBC radio about the new Abba movie "Mamma Mia" where Merle Streep, Colin Firth, and Pierce Brosnan among others get to belt out old Abba songs. I'llllet you decide whether that is a good thing or not, but when we got home we looked up old Abba on youtube. This is a classic video, with it's dopey camera cuts and old-school Euro look. Too funny...I think............

Must see viewing!

I know I'm a little behind the curve here. My au courant status is dropping faster than GWB's credibility. But for all of you who are even more out of touch than me...hard to believe I know...last night I rented The Lives of Others, which is simply one of the best, most well done, understated yet riveting movies I've ever seen. I know it has been much-hyped critically, but if you haven't seen it, this should be at the top of your list! It's a story of a mid 1980s Stasi agent in East Germany, and is the classic tale of redemption, and such a great piece of filmmaking. Wow!! w and I were still talking about it this morning.
