History 101

I was walking around in MPH today, waiting for my honey to decide which book to buy..when i stumbled upon this book, sorta the serious rendition and behind the scene book of The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown. Heard lots of good reviews on this book..so i figured..what the heck..just to kill time waiting for the fickled minded maam decide what to get. I grabbed the browsing version, sat down at one corner in front of the bookshelf and started to read. To my astonishment, it is a good book to read..i mean i was reading the review of the book..it has thriller suspense, conspiracy theory and lots of true actual history facts...The writer really did his homework..such detail on French paintings and arts..things i have no interest at all..Who gives a crap about the Mona Lisa painting anyway..except if you're a curator that is. It really aroused my curiosity to read the original book, so i whipped out my wallet and here I am..already at chapter 8. In a way, this book gives me a crash course on history, things i have taken lightly during my SPM days..i mean, why do we need to learn about dead people..they're dead..plus i've got a lousy teacher anyway..i'm not very good at memorizing important names and historic dates..mental note : remember our 1st wedding anniversary end of of this month..sheesh..that was close.
Last nite, i wanted to watch Citizen Kane, a 1941 movie but due to technical reason..the audio and video does not sync..so i'm watching the actors moving his lips without a sound and suddenly there was alot of yelling. It reminds me of our typical drama swasta in TV1..horrible sound editing..really need to finish that movie..but how?
