My Top 9 Life Lessons For 2009
Posted on January 2, 2010 12:00PM
The past year was a soap opera for me—anyone who knows what I’ve been through could attest to that. 2009 began with forecasts that it would be my best year ever. And while a lot of great things happened that year, I’m not sure I can really call it my best, since it was riddled with heartbreaks, betrayals, and loads of disappointments, too. But what can we do? That’s how life goes; it can’t always be perfect, can it? But I do not regret anything, for with everything that happened to me that year, I took with it valuable lessons I’ll bring with me in 2010 and for the rest of my life.
Since there are far too many of them, I picked the nine most significant lessons, or at least those that seem to recur for some reason—maybe because I haven’t learned them enough the first time so I had to go through them again. Here goes.

One For The Road
Posted on December 31, 2009 12:00PM
I've mentioned in a previous entry that I'm an Audrey Hepburn fan, and that Roman Holiday and Breakfast at Tiffany's are two of my top three favorite Audrey films. There's a less popular movie of hers that completes my list, slotting between the two aforementioned entries: Two for the Road, in which she stars opposite Albert Finney.
Aside from the use of nonlinear narrative to demonstrate the finer and lesser points of a marriage over the years, Two for the Road is one of my favorite films of all time because it is an honest portrayal of married life through the story of main characters Mark (Albert) and Jo (Audrey), even providing one of the most spot-on definitions of marriage that I know: "Marriage is when a woman asks a man to take off his pajamas--and it's because she wants to send them to the laundry."
Not only his PJs, I wish to point out; also his shirts, trousers, handkerchiefs, and socks. And--God help all married women--his knickers.
