Well, I can understand why the Bulgarian in "The Terminal" hasn't been a huge deal around here. Tom Hanks mumbles most of it, and what's there isn't much. There are a couple of "opa"s that the crowd in the theater laughed at, but the rest is muttled "kasvam se"s in an accent that, in my view, was more Russian than Bulgarian.
Good movie though. I'm not exactly sure why Spielberg is giving all of his movies a glow from light these days, but it worked less in this one than anything he's used it in going back to AI. I think the movie would have worked a little bit better if it weren't so much a fairy tale. Nevertheless, it was a fun two hours and not a bad way to spend a lev fifty.
The news all over the stations I have here is that Arafat died last night. Almost the full half hour is given to his life and death on Euronews, and his terrorist activity is mentioned maybe once. Israel is mentioned maybe twice. He was a man who struggled his whole life for peace, apparently. This is why I hate that Euronews has to be one of my primary news sources.
For something completely different, the cat toilet-training has finally turned a corner. She has all four paws on the toilet seat when she does her business now. I can now attempt to slowly remove the litter in the bowl within the toilet bowl and replace it with water. Then the bowl will go away altogether. At least that's the theory. We'll see how it goes.

2)I agree about the lighting.
3)I'm completely against toilet training the cat. I think it's only a few steps off from putting the cat in cute costumes.
