Work Happenings
- One of my ballet shoes spent the night in my work parking lot. I could not find it when I got to ballet class but the next morning there it was in the parking space I had parked in the previous day. It was nice that no one had parked there. It had a little goose feather attached to it but other than that it was OK.
- One of the scientists in my work division is sharing the Nobel Prize for his work studying cosmic microwave background radiation. His results increased support for the Big Bang Theory.
- I exchanged blog addresses with one of my co-workers. He makes model trains and describes his process in amazing detail. http://chaihobby.blogspot.com/

Kamikaze
Taxi A Japanese movie about a young mob
recruit whose girlfriend is killed by the
ruthless boss. He exacts revenge but the thugs go
after him. He hires a taxi driver to help him
escape. The taxi driver was born in Japan but
spent most of his life in Peru before immigrating
back to Japan. The Yakuza story mixed with a
message about acceptance of Japanese who have
grown up in different cultures and returned was
interesting. And the use of Peruvian music was
quite unusual for a japanese movie. However,
there were a couple of scenes that went on way
too long and had little to do with the story.
