Check out this SF Chronicle story about the new book, "The Clock Without a Face."

Mid August Lunch
This Italian movie (Pranzo di Ferragosto in Italian) was really quite pleasant and charming. At only 75 minutes it was pretty short too, and let out just in time to grab some dinner. The movie follows a middle-aged Italian man, Gianni, as he reluctantly agrees to take in several elderly ladies for the Ferragosto holiday. Lots of funny scenes and it was great to see it with my Italian grandma and several of her friends. They all joked about the Italian-ness of the characters and how great all the food looked. And they explained what Ferragosto is - basically a holiday in the middle of August (akin to Labor Day maybe) where everyone deserts the city and goes on vacation. The movie has a limited release but is definitely worth seeing!
Birth of a Blog
I'm sure the last thing the internet world needs is another blog, but here I go anyways. I've got the time (read: not working right now), and will hopefully be able to scrounge up the will, to start a blog. I'll be able to share the interesting books, fashion, photography and any other pretty things I come across!
It's a beautiful day in the San Francisco Bay area and the perfect day to start blogging!
(photo by me, it wasn't taken today, but it pretty much looks like that today!)
