Odds and ends

I think this song is pretty great. A perfect warm-up song. Starts slowly, builds, gets you wrapped in, and ends with you feeling pumped up and energized:

I bought a new stink! (Stink is what my dad calls perfume.) It's called Eclat D'arpege. I don't know how to explain it, but it smells good.

I saw Woody Allen's movie last night - You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. Not good. I usually really like his movies, so I was surprised. Not funny. Borderline bad acting. Predictable plot. Hard to get what the point was, except maybe that everything sucks, people cheat, lie, steal, and treat don't treat others nicely. I don't recommend it.

winding down

Just about one week left of my internship. I am done with my summer class requirements, so time at home will be a true vacation. That is, if I can manage to leave the stress and anxiety about school-bar-job-Denver on the other side of the Sagamore Bridge.

I saw El Secreto de Sus Ojos, the Argentinean movie that won an Oscar for best foreign film. Very good! I recommend it. Seriously, the second movie I've seen all year. No joke. Two. No time. No money. No attention span. No nada.

I was lucky enough to meet my sister for lunch the other day when she was in town. That was fun!

I went to Baltimore tonight for dinner with some family (my mom's first cousins). Sigh, probably my last time for a long while. I like it there. It's cheesy, but I saw a City Sports and really wanted to stop in to buy a City Sport Baltimore shirt to work out in. They were so sweet and we had a really nice time at dinner. Asian fusion - yummy.

Tomorrow morning (gulp, must get to sleep) I am going to a networking breakfast hosted at the American Society for International Law. It's for women who are interested in international law. I wanted to go less about the networking, but really just to meet some cool, inspiring women. Should be good.

Presunto Culpable

Gente,

I saw this great documentary movie yesterday and met the filmmakers. It's about the disaster that is Mexico's criminal justice sector. It's shocking. Please, please visit their website. See the movie. Inform yourself. Tell others. Do what you can.

Two young Mexican attorneys attempt to exonerate a wrongly convicted man by making a documentary. In the process, they expose the contradictions of a judicial system that presumes suspects guilty until proven innocent.
