One of My Ears Is Higher Than The Other.: February 2015
http://oneofmyears.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
One of My Ears Is Higher Than The Other. Tuesday, February 17, 2015. Director: Haifaa Al Mansour. Is groundbreaking for a couple of reasons. First, it is the first feature length movie to be shot entirely in Saudi Arabia. Second, it is written and directed by a woman and is about the lives of women and girls in a place where we often do not get to hear their voices. It's ok- she has a plan. Is upset because he also loves his wife and daughter, but he knows there is no son to carry on the family line.

One of My Ears Is Higher Than The Other.: June 2009

One of My Ears Is Higher Than The Other. Monday, June 08, 2009. Then We Came to the End. I'm halfway through Joshua Ferris' Then We Came to the End. And so far I am really enjoying it. I think it's the only book I've ever read that employed the plural first person ("we"), and while it takes a little getting used to, it works quite well with the subject matter (office life). There is one section that is in the third person, and although this could have been clunky, I found it entirely appropriate.

One of My Ears Is Higher Than The Other. Monday, April 27, 2009. Marking; procrastinating; The Book of Negroes. I am supposed to be marking; therefore, of course, I am finding many other urgent and compelling things to do. In addition to marking the occasional essay, I have spent a lot of time cleaning up my desk, knitting things for my nephew to be, and researching swine flu. So that I can ramp up my anxiety levels to super-high. I finished reading this year's Canada Reads pick, The Book of Negroes.

One of My Ears Is Higher Than The Other. Saturday, May 09, 2015. Movie review: Line in the Sand. Line in the Sand. Directors: Tomas Borsa and Jean-Philippe Marquis. Line in the Sand. The farmers think so. There is much blunt talk about Enbridge's incredibly poor track record regarding pipeline integrity and spill response. Some of the most arresting footage is from a man who worked on the Kalamazoo spill cleanup- Enbridge fired him after they discovered he had secretly filmed cleanup workers being di...

One of My Ears Is Higher Than The Other. Sunday, July 28, 2013. Six days after the coup, Charles Horman disappeared. The movie centres around Horman's wife, Beth (Sissy Spacek), who is still in Chile trying to get some answers about what has happened to her husband, and Charles' father Ed (Jack Lemmon), who has flown to Chile from the US after getting nowhere with government representatives back home. The real strength of Missing. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Stuff I am thinking.

One of My Ears Is Higher Than The Other. Saturday, October 17, 2009. Pronounced similar to "choke" but not quite. This was the Chinese comfort food of my childhood; it is made with rice and broth, topped with sesame. 1 cup short-grain rice. 10 cups stock of your choice (I used 8 cups chicken stock and 2 cups water). Combine in a big pot; bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Simmer for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Thursday, October 15, 2009. Lentil soup with roasted kale. View my complete profile.

One of My Ears Is Higher Than The Other. Thursday, July 16, 2015. Movie review: Mad Max: Fury Road. Directed by George Miller. We saw this with friends who had already seen it in the theatre but were willing- actually, eager! To see it again. After the movie was over, I could understand why. I can think of only one other movie experience that left me with such a feeling of exhilaration, and that was Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof. When I left the theatre after Death Proof. 3 group of loyal helpers.
