I’ve been pushing for a healthier diet for about six months now. It was a struggle at first—giving up all the junk, the sodas, the sweets... I used to cave constantly. Lately, though, I almost never slip up—and there are two reasons for that:
- The guilt is massive. If I ruin my progress with some sugary crap, the guilt eats at me for days—it's exhausting. So, whenever I feel an urge, I just remind myself how miserable and drained I'll feel for the next few days, and the craving vanishes. 🙂
- Honestly, I can actually FEEL what that junk food does to my body now. Whether it's that weird sensation in my teeth after a soda or that disgusting, bloated feeling after crushing a whole pizza... it's enough to make me want to avoid it entirely.

Great topic, by the way.

Thanks, everyone—if anyone else happens to have some useful info, please drop it here 🙂

Does anyone know if there are any film studies lectures happening around Washington, D.C.?

I've heard there’s actually a dedicated department for film studies over at the university—but I'm wondering if their lectures are open to the public, or if they're strictly for students enrolled in the program?

Thanks in advance for any info you can share. 🙂

I dig your selection—there are a few I haven't seen yet, but they’re definitely going on my list.

I'd put The Lives of Others at the top right now; it beats Panov’s labyrinthine style any day, and frankly, I think it deserved to snatch the Oscar from Panov. But hey, that's just how I see it. 😉

Looking forward to what 2008 has in store—hopefully even better films. 🙂
