Literary and Film Review

Hey!  Guess what?  I'm on Day 18 of my stupid cold!  It's really wonderful, especially since my friend THE COLD, has found a new home in my nose.  My most detested of all cold symptoms. 

Enough about that, though I will gladly accept comments of sympathy in the comments. 

I went to Alberta for the weekend.  Good time for sleeping!  And skiing.

We went to Sunshine and it was great.  It is so amazing to ski when I'm not freezing my toes!  I loved it.  Easter skiing is the way to go. 

As well, I read.  I finished two books!

The Birth House by Ami McKay

It was great.  It made me think about women's rights, how they have evolved over the past century, as well as how they haven't.  It was so interesting to read about birth!  Interesting, not terrifying.  As well, it was good to read a Canadian book.  Often, books that I read are British or American.  I recommend it, as does just about everyone else.

Brand New Friend  by Mike Gayle.

This book doesn't have it's own (easy to find) website.  That's because it's just not that good.  Not very good at all.  I was mildly entertained.

As a family, we watched a movie.

Milk

Obviously, this Academy Award winning film is good. It was interesting and compelling.  Obviously. 
I may or may not have gotten over watching kissing scenes with my parents last week.  I don't think we were ready for the sexual content of Milk.  Not that it's all about sex, or that it's graffic or anything, it's just that I'm only 12. 

So, go skiing in April, read Birth House and watch Milk.

Happy Vacation to me!
