Dance Into 2012
On a unseasonably warm first day of 2012, these water droplets in my garden reminded me of the quote: let your life dance like dew at the tip of a leaf. They contained so much life force and possibility as they shimmered and danced in the sunlight. Let's dance and move, take action; swing and sway to the rhythm of joy this year. You don't need to look far. It might be in front of your nose.





ooh such subtle beauty in these droplets. This year will be one of many beauteous, sublte moments.
Am watching the Swedish Girl With a Dragon Tattoo, third time tonight. Have you seen it? I know you mentioned it.

Kathryn, thanks and yes, I love the original SGWADT but haven't seen the American version.

I feel that I do not like Sweden anymore. I think Americfans have had a highly romanticized view of Scandinavia; I know from a Danish friend of mine (he was on G) that Denmark has a lot of fascist sentiment and I am rather shocked that Sweden would have considered what the protagonist had written was libelous; Americans feel that Scandinavia is an ultra liberal place...and it is not...I saw this on Instant play last night and the sequels are on instant play, too. I have heard from other people that the American version is Hollywoodish; I will probably prefer the Swedish. I do think Daniel Craig is an excellent choice in the American version; he resembles the Swedish actor greatly. Larsson's life and his parents and grandparents' lives were so tragic. I am so glad he's written of everything he's written of. Very sad he passed so early in his own life.

A friend of mine just saw the American version and said apart from Daniel Craig, the casting was so so. Did you know that Larrsson's girlfriend has a memoir out?

Larsson's GF has a memoir? Wow. Must get it. The casting of Lizbeth Salander in the Swedish was superb. The American version someone I know wrote is even more brutal than the Swedish, but says the film technique is better, with smoother cuts. I think I will prefer the Swedish version, because darnitall, Larsson was Swedish.
What is the memoir called by Larsson's GF or what is her name?
