Up date

Hello all!

Things are going pretty well. I'm feeling really bad for Ben right now. He's having some major money troubles as he is still in the middle of his career transition and is just working part time right now. I hate to see him having to worry about paying his rent on time and covering his bills. I really hope he gets a full time job soon.

I have to decide what to get him for Christmas. At the same time, I kind of don't want him spending money on me since he doesn't have much to spend.

Last weekend we watched a movie called "The Wedding Banquet." It is one of Ang Lee's early movies and like "Brokeback Mountain," is also about a gay couple. In this case it is an interracial gay couple, one Taiwanese and one white, who must pretend to be straight when the former's very traditional parents come visit. The son decides to marry his tenant, who is an artist in need of a green card, in order to get his parents off his back. Hi-jinks ensue. It was quite good, I recommend it.

I can't quite say the same about "The New Normal." I tried watching five minutes of it and got annoyed.

That's about it for now, just thought I'd write a quick update. Hope everyone is well!
