Now, today is Mole Day. It's the International Chemistry holiday when 6.02 X 10 to the 23rd is celebrated. Bryon's class will be celebrating today, singing mole carols (you really don't want to hear them!) and eating mole treats.

I am also having a mole removed. Slice! That's at 9:20. Well, when I celebrate Mole Day, I go all out.

If you haven't had a chance to watch Summertime, you really should take a moment. It's a David Lean film, which means the cinematography is beautiful. The film captures Venice in a much more bright way than some films, but it still paints an accurate view of a vibrant city, circa 1955.

Hepburn is an older, single woman in the film, who feels that life has left her behind. She has an affair in Venice. Not your usual treatise on how I spent my summer vacation, but it is a tale of the different values of culture, as well as about love and living your dreams. The performances on all fronts are excellent, and the clothes? Well, retro my friends. Retro.

A good film for both research and emotional tension. I enjoyed it.
