Let the show begin!

I'm sure lots of posts have been dedicated to FIFA World Cup in South Africa so far.  As soon as  I think of South Africa, I think of Nelson Mandela, the film "Evictus" and... Sarah. Sarah, a big hug to you from me! Unfortunately Poland didn't qualify so I will be rooting for Italians. No one really believes here that the miracle could happen twice (yeah, if you remember, Italy won the last World Cup 4 years ago). What are your picks? Today first 2 matches:  1) RSA-Mexico2) France-Uruguay Are you going to watch? I supposedly...

Sex and the City. Part 1.

As I was reading your blogs in the last couple of days, I couldn't but remain under impression that everyone is looking forward to Sex and the City 2. As I stated in one of your blogs, I really didn't understand what all the fuss about was... I don't know why, but seeing Sarah Jessica Parker before (only in pictures, of course!), made me think of an unfriendly, ruthless woman without heart and friends.
