Movies I Want to See & Books I Want to Read

Not much has been happening to me besides working. I went to Dajia to the Matsu (goddess of the sea and sailors) with Hino and his friends on Saturday. On Saturday evening, Hino, Tania (a good friend of ours along with her husband , Trent) went to the Lantern Festival on Wen Shin. It was a disappointment. TOO MANY people and TOO FEW lanterns and food stalls.

On Sunday, we had a Taichung PAWS meeting which I will try to find a way to post the results from the meeting. That will be posted on Bre's Taiwan Dog Blog (http://taiwandogblog.blogspot.com).

Since I don't have much to say besides my sudden obsession with wanting a new apartment(a.k.a. a home), a tugou/Formosan dog to take care of in said apartment and constantly looking and shopping for things for my apartment like a bread maker, a washer and other appliances I never cared about before. I think it's safe to say that I'm going through "Kitchen Withdrawal" ...I NEED a kitchen!!!

And since that stuff is boring for a blog, I decided to make a list of movies I want to see after seeing CNN's The Screening Room episode on the Sundance Film Festival.

Movies I've been wanting to see:

• The Good German (halfway through the book)
• Valkyrie (have been reading a lot of WWII books lately)
• Sicko
• 10 Promises to My Dog
• Slumdog Millionaire

Sundance movies:

• Rudo y Cursi
• Push
• We Live in Public

DVDs I want:

• Little Britain
• Absolutely Fabulous
• Dogtown (Best Friends Animal Network)

Books I am reading now:

• The Good German (halfway through)
• Be the Pack Leader
• Siddhartha

My list of books just waiting to be read:

• Dogtown (a book from the Best Friends Animal Network)
• The Lost Continent-Travels in Small Town America by Bill Bryson
• The Book Thief by Markus Zusack
• Shanghai Baby by Wei Hui
• Development and Practice of Humanitarian Buddhism
• Oracle Bones- A Journey Through Time in China by Peter Hessler (seeing as it is almost 500 pages, I might let someone borrow it first before I read it)

Some books I've read and suggest reading:

• Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

Well, that's all for now! I hope my life will get more interesting so I can post more and I will get the Dajia pics up soon!
