Slowdown... but not quitting!

I am now getting ready to move - again. So, my blogging has slowed down a little…. After living (and working) in Whitewater (at UW-Whitewater) for almost a year, I decided that as much as I like my current job (love it), I really cannot be happy living in the country. I am a city boy, no question about it. So, I found a new, nice (although very small) place to live in Mad-city. Yes, it will mean a 45-60 min twice-a-day commute, but then again, I will be living on the east side of Madison (after Kraków, my second most beloved place on Earth), close to downtown, 15 mins away from my closest friends’ house, right on the lake (Monona), across the street from Olbrich botanical Gardens, on a bus line, 5 mins away from park-and-ride Van Galder to O’Hare and downtown Chicago, 5 mins away from YMCA with a great swimming pool that opens EARLY in the morning, 5 mins away from a great Italian deli (Fraboni’s), and so on, and on, and on… In a word - where I always wanted to live. That means, however, packing again, and no blog posts until after I have moved - July 15th 2009. :)

Slumdog Millionaire: mini-review

From the point of view of narrative structure, the film is a simple, almost classical yet brilliant concept: an unlikely hero (a slumdog, or a street kid) who has almost managed to win a fortune on the popular Who Wants to Be a Millionaire TV super-show, has to fend-off accusations of deception, and justify his ability to answer tricky questions by flashbacks that take us back to the moment he learned each of his life’s lessons.
