Joined a friend and attended the weekly meet of the Young Orators Club. YOC seems to attract an interesting bunch - ranging from enthusiastic college kids to slightly jaded folks who've been around at YOC for the better part of a decade. Don't know if I've acquired enough passion to be regular, but one of the speakers did inspire me to get around to reading my copy of Les Miserables (been languishing on my bookshelf for months). The radiant imagery he conjured up just describing the book makes me suspect I'm missing out big by not reading Victor Hugo.
Weekend's dose of movie's included Hum Tum, Harry Potter (TPOA), Oliver's Story and The Magdalene Sisters. Like is true for the book's, Oliver's Story doesn't hold a candle to Love Story, despite the movie director having gotten creative with the story. Magdalene Sisters joins my list of "movie's with character" - Sleepers, Philiadelphia, Forest Gump, Scent of a Woman, No Man's Land... It's a harrowing account of institutionalised horrors visited on women suspected of immorality - as late as the ninties. Poignant, powerful and disturbing.
Wow! Four movies, two games of scrabble, 20km of cycling, and a meal cooked at home (even if with some help :) - and to think I planned to start this post with how laid back the weekend felt!
