So I went to see The Secret Life of Bees last night with Cherice and Jackie. It was good. At first I didn’t think that I would like it. I thought it would be another one of those 1960’s pre-Civil Rights movies that remind black people more of the struggle than the victory.

And it was-in a way-but I liked it. I’m not going to spend time doing a whole plot synopsis and analysis cause you can go to Rotten Tomatoes for that. But, I will say that it was a sweet, melancholy movie that was ultimately uplifting, and it did serve as a reminder of the world that my mom came from and also that it has only been about 40 years since black people were accepted as full members of society. I am 37. Hmm.

Oh and I just found out that Queen Latifah is gay.  Did you know that?  I really had no idea!

So, now Linsay has linked to my blog so I guess I oficially have to write stuff in it.  Crap!

OK so perhaps I will give this blogging thing a try.  It could prove interesting, even cathartic (is that how you spell it?).  Anyhow, the problem is that I can’t put anything REALLY personal in here because then other people will read it and think that I am weird.  So I’m just going to put a couple of pictures in from that past couple of weeks.
