Speaking of Movies...

I can't even describe how unbelievably hyperactively stupendiferously excited I am about Farewell.

French. Russia. Communism. Canet. Espionage. Need I say more?

Must see it NOW!

The Last Station

My sister and I watched The Last Station yesterday. It wasn't exactly what I expected but I enjoyed it. I'm a HUGE Tolstoy fan and I was a little disappointed because I expected the movie to be more literary and less rom-com-ish. Helen Mirren was amazing so for me this movie was more about Sofya, the charming prima donna, and less about Tolstoy. I'm currently reading Jacob's Room by Virginia Woolf but since watching the Last Station I'm itching to pick up Anna Karenina.

Nightlight

I started my summer reading a few weeks ago with Nightlight, a parody of the Twilight series. I have not and most likely will not read the Twilight books but I did enjoy Nightlight. It was a quick funny read, I definitely laughed out loud a couple of times.

World Cup Feeeevahhh !

I LOVE the World Cup because football is about so much more than just the game. In the poorer countries of the world football can be an escape from poverty and a vehicle for social change. My country didn't qualify this year because we suck so I'm rooting for Argentina to take home the trophy in the end. I know they're a great team but I really just love watching Lionel Messi being gorgeous on the field and Diego Maradona's antics on the sidelines.

I mean....look at Maradona's jaunty little cap! Adorable.

My First Post!

Hello World!

I've just moved from my beautiful New York City back to my equally beautiful home of Trinidad and Tobago where I expect to be beautifully bored for exactly one year before I leave again to attend Grad school. As an aspiring writer/human rights activist/journalist I've decided to follow my new years resolution (for a change) and start a blog (check!)

My guess is that there will be many posts about books, global news, friends, family maybe some fashion and who knows what else! I'm really excited to see how this develops so here goes everything!
