I am enjoying - despite the 110 degree heat - my classes at Art Unraveled in Phoenix and will post some cool things I've learned and done. Stay tuned...
Meanwhile, a recommendation: If you haven't seen The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Swedish film with subtitles, consider putting it on your list of things to buy, rent, or download. I had only started the book, so it was all a mystery to me, but those I watched it with had read it and still said it was 1) close to the book and 2) good good movie! Even if you don't gravitate to mysteries, you may well enjoy this film, despite a painful scene or two (abuse of women theme) that is important to the character and not intrusive to the story.
