Stories

Last night when Nathalie was watching ER (Urgences in French), I went out. I've read a couple of Michael Crichton's books. He tells good stories. ER pales compared to Andromeda Strain, though. It's like wine: If you produce too much, the flavor suffers.

The cinema in Pontcharra was playing 2046 by Wong Kar Wai. More good stories. I feel like I missed quite a bit the first time.

Would I still have gone had I known that it was a series of love stories? Would Nathalie perhaps have come with me? To the second question, I'd respond, "Perhaps not." She doesn't like to watch movies with subtitles even if she understands the source language. Neither of us speak any Chinese.
