a friend and myself went the night before last to see the curious case of benjamin button. i had beenlooking foward to this for quite some time, and i was not disappointed. i was already a cate blanchett fan, and i found myself confirming that despite my misgivings about brad pitt, i very much respect him as an actor. so, yes, the movie is about a man who is born old and grows younger; his life and that of his true love meet in the middle for a few blissful years, then they are headed in opposite directions again. this movie was...unbelievaby sad, bittersweet, didactic, but not cheesy-lifetime material. i would easily recommend it.

it seems like i've just gotten home, and i have to leave again in just 2 days. i don't know where the days went...
