Go see this film!

Hi everyone,

We've had a rainy weekend here, so we decided to go to the Penthouse for an independent film. Our choice ended up being a Lebanese film entitled 'Caramel' and it was so fabulous. It was in French with English subtitles, but it didn't detract in the slightest. The film is a slice-of-life in Beirut, and it focuses on the lives of five women. I'm not sure how easy it is to find it to rent in the States, but if you can, do!

We then went to Jewel of Nepal and just happened to run into my coworker Duncan and his girlfriend, so we ended up sitting together for a few hours. His girlfriend is from Vancouver and met Duncan is a way eerily reminiscent of Rory and I's story, so we had a lot to talk about.

Today has been a bit more lazy. Rory is officially on Christmas break, so he is treating me to homemade spaghetti and meatballs tonight. I have 1.5 days left of work before my holiday begins.

To all of my friends and family in the Pacific NW: hunker down and stay warm!

Love,

Ames
