Slum Dog Millionaire

By on November 4, 2008 in Inspiration

A respite from the non-stop election coverage that I will be glued to for the next 24 hours. Just went to a screening of this movie and absolutely LOVED it. Please see it. It will break your heart and then make it soar. See it, see it, see it. Okay – back toy your regular scheduled programming aka Obama ass-kicking.

    Aloha Gotham,

    The movie looks intriguing, I certainly will watch for it. Unfortunately, there is only one theater on the island that may run it. Alas, living in paradise does have some drawbacks.

    What youre saying is completely true. I know that everybody must say the same thing,

    but I just think that you put it in a way that everyone can understand.

    I also love the images you put in here. They fit so well with what youre trying to say.

    Im sure youll reach so many people with what youve got to say.bamboo furniture
