You know.... you should be aware of the early signs of dementia.......

I'm so far behind I don't even know when Amazon will be sending me my next selection(s)

Crap! I was hoping it was you experiencing the dementia.

I turned 37 almost a month ago on Cinco de Mayo (I just thought I would share that because I want to be part of the group)...but the real reason I'm posting is I'm wondering if anyone has seen the film version of "The Makioka Sisters". I'm looking forward to seeing it, but would love to hear what people who have seen it thought (I read the book and loved it). And I am ok if the movie veers from the book...I fully support the artistic fingerprint screenplay writers and film directors like to put on someone else's story. So that's not a deal-breaker for me.

Two were somehow bumped into UPS International Express after selecting Standard Internation Shipping, and the 3rd non-DHL was USPS which also became controlled by Canada Post upon entry into Canada once it cleared customs as it was a marketplace seller, as it was a jacket.

We Canadians get the shaft, orders are hit and miss as to who ships it and when we get it. The pending postal strike is just throwing a wrench in the works.

Amazon Canada normally uses Canada Post for their free shipping, but for one order, they used standard UPS.

I can't compare it to the book (having not read the book) but I watch this film the same way I study strangers on a bus.... it's a great character study.

I believe Aug 2nd is the best day for a b-day (I wouldn't know because it's the only one I ever had.). It's just when you were younger, it's mid-summer, no school, and it's f'n August. Plus Leo is the coolest sign.

Fine! I'll go with the crowd and share my birthday, Nov. 16, 1987.

You should've been around when we were sharing photos of our genitals.

Great to hear that. I can't wait to see it. And it must be a visually beautiful film, too. Thanks!

Ah, this is what I love about Amazon:
Day 1: Order Seven Samurai
Day 2: Hear Seven Samurai was shipped
Day 3: Receive Seven Samurai

So very very happy to have this and will watch it soon. ^_^ I find the packaging disagreeable though.
