The library Bollywood celebration that I had went to,
That day I got some Henna art done on my hands. The talented Henna tattoo artist was doing beautiful work on my hands. There that day we also did some beautiful work on my hands. There that day we also did some tradition Indian dancing as well. It was great fun and I loved every minute of it. I got to wear traditional Indian garb around my waist and what not and it was great. I would to relive it again but I can relive it through this article. I was dancing with a lady who was teaching the dances and got my picture with her. On my forehead is the traditional accessory that takes you into the third eye. Learning these dances was a lot of fun. We also learned belly dancing type moves and what not. The library where I used to go is who sponsored this free event always put on wonderful functions like that. Just a beautiful and cultural time was had by all. The girl who did my henna tattoo is really very talented as is the lady who taught me the dance of India and Bollywood.

Last Night in Soho
Last Night in Soho is a horror crime drama movie that takes place in London but more to the point in Soho. I would definitely recommend this movie. A brief summary on the film is it is about a fashion student living in London who somehow she witnesses a life of someone else and it is important to note that she is in love with the 1960’s and then somehow she enters the life of a lounge singer in a soho nightclub who she thinks dies but there is a twist she enters the past life of a neighbor living in an adjoining flat.

Asylum
It takes a genius writer with a twisted world view point to create a show such as “Asylum” on the British Broadcast corporation. It was a 3 episode mini series and it is about asylum seekers and how they take asylum in a government building somewhere in London. Who would have thought that you could find humor in such a sensitive subject but the writers have been able to do it with success. It was a drama and a comedy with an audience and a laugh track. Asylum is one of those shows that leave you not knowing where you stand.

Jerry Orbach, rest in peace. New York pride.
Jerry Orbach was a true New Yorker. Jerry is one of my favorite actors and my favorite police officer. May Jerry Orbach rest in peace. He was a landmark of New York life until his passing, and whoever declared that made an excellent decision. I heard that when this great man and actor passed away, he had donated his eyes. Some of my favorite acting roles of Jerry Orbach are Lennie Briscoe from Law & Order, Lumière from the classic Disney film Beauty and the and Jerry even had an episode in the classic 1980s horror series “Tales from the Darkside.” In the movie “Dirty Dancing,” Jerry Orbach’s role as Baby’s father is my absolute favorite of all his roles.

Keeping up Appearances
One saturday night i was watching PBS for their British comedy show block that they used to air and I discovered a great sitcom called “Keeping Up Appearances” that I grew to love and any time I saw it was on I never missed the chance to watch it. The plot is simple Hyacinth wants to be high society and goes on ridiculous hijinks and shinanigans to finally be a member of high society and drives all those crazy with her plans and schemes. The show had lasted for many seasons then went off of the air and then had been brought back for a revival in the mid 90's.

Nemuro: The Japanese Port Living in the Shadow of a Disputed Past
On a clear morning in Nemuro, the disputed islands can appear faintly beyond the water. The view is part of everyday life in this remote fishing town at the eastern edge of Hokkaido. Nemuro has about 22,000 residents, roughly half the population it had at its peak in the 1960s. Its winters are long and cold. Red spiny king crabs are stacked around the harbor. Fading signs in Japanese, Russian and English hang near the docks. On some days, when the air is clear, the islands claimed by both Japan and Russia can be seen in the distance.
