finally saw The Pianist with my sister last night. i really liked it and i hope Adrien Brody wins the Best Actor Oscar this year for his performance. all he ate were hard-boiled eggs and some fruit so that he could lose 30 pounds, and to prepare for the emotional aspect of his character, he didn't have any contact with his friends so that he could get the whole "alone and lonely" character. he had a German coach and a piano coach for the role. he really did a lot to play Wladyslaw Szpilman.

as for the movie itself, it was a different World War II type of movie for me because 1)it was about a real person who survived it, 2) it was more about the person than soldiers themselves, and 3) it showed that not all the German captains and soldiers weren't evil; Szpilman actually survived because a German captain who found him in hiding helped him hide in an attic and brought him food. i also really liked how that German captain, Horsenfeld, was so touched with Szpilman's piano playing and that's all that it took for him to help him out. that goes to show music does play a role in so many things. it's just sad that the German captain died in a camp later on. so anyway, i recommend this movie to all.

on the weather front, we're supposed to get 12"-18" of snow by the end of Monday. i rented 3 movies but i've already watched through all of them: My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Obsession, Session 9 . i won't have to go to school until Wednesday! woohoo! no class on Monday due to President's Day, no class on Tuesday cuz my Chem professor has an appointment.

as for my health, i'm developing a cold. it's quite annoying actually, sneezing, coughing, blowing my nose. i hope it goes away soon.
