Going Sideways

So my sister was visiting this last week and I took some time off to hang out with her. One of the days we went up to the wine country and I finally got to do that since I've only been up there working previously.

There was some trivia question about Coppola and the Tucker film/automobile and since my sister loves movies, that particular winery was of interest. I have to say though that the smaller independent vineyards were my faves. To prepare we also watched Sideways beforehand which was a pretty good flick.

Emotional Spectrum

I've always enjoyed the range of human emotions so that's the only way I could reconcile writing about adoption and Kung Fu Hustle in the same entry.

Anyhow, I just heard a story on NPR about adoption that was a really nice piece of journalism. You can check out the story details and listen to the extended version here. It's a really touching story and it's nice when you can get so much emotion from radio.

On the other hand, I saw Kung Fu Hustle which Anka had been raving about for a while. I hadn't even realized it was a Stephen Chow film until it rolled across the screen. I would definitely say it's a fun film enhanced by pre-baking.
