A Sunny Day

The weather today is quite nice here in Freiburg.  After several days of wind, clouds and cold we have a nice sunny day with warmer temperatures.  After class today I took my bike and rode to the city centre to buy some pasta.  One of the stores there was having a big sale on pasta noodles, so I bought a lot of pasta.  Guess what's for dinner tonight?  You guessed it, Spaghetti!

Tonight Carsten and I will go to our first film of the film festival.  Our choices are Mr. Right from England, Strella from Greece and Antarctica from Israel.  Since language is an issue, we are planing to see Mr. Right, though I think Strella sounds more interesting.  Strella and Antarctica both have subtitles, but in German, so I am now sure how much I could really understand.  Oh well; Mr. Right it is.  Here is a summary I found on-line for the movie:  

Louise, mightily annoyed, has lost her boyfriend when he turns gay. Again. She turns for solace to her coterie of gay friends, three hip couples living in London's trendy gay village, Soho. Harry wants to ditch his job producing TV home improvement shows and travel the world with aspiring actor boyfriend Alex. Hunky ex rugby player William's nine-year-old daughter is intent on sabotaging his relationship with TV soap star Lawrence. Then there's Tom, a successful but insecure artist who turns a blind eye to the transgressions of boyfriend Lars, a sexy but narcissistic muscle-clad toyboy. In this funky, urban romantic comedy tensions reach breaking point when truths are revealed at an awkward dinner party. Wittily scripted and well acted, this film is less about finding Mr. Right than it is about losing him - but there are unexpected endings for all, and even Louise is ready to take another chance...

So, stay tuned to see what we thought of the film.
