Saw Benjamin Button, and loved it. Bawled a little. It was a little depressing to start my new year off with that film, but whatever. It made me really proud of what I've done in the past year of 2008, especially with all that traveling. 2008 was such a blessing. Don't read ahead this bit if you don't want me to spoil some bits of the film for you, but there was a montage of Pitt's character traveling through India and Cambodia, and it made me realize how much I want to go there and do some sort of pilgrimage and visit temples. I've been to Thailand before and have visited temples, but I was only 6 and was not really aware of the total sanctity and the beauty of that sanctity. To me, it was just another fairy tale place, surreal, unlike my own LA and suburban surroundings.
Also finished the book Daddy Long Legs by Jean Webster on Jan. 1. I've never finished a book that fast! Started it the night before.
Have been doing a lot of biking. Actually biked down to Borders, which is a 5 min. drive from my house. It was a fun bike, but jeez, drivers are so irritating. Luckily, my brother saw me biking, and while I was cutting across a parking lot to get home, he was standing behind a car, in an attempt to surprise me! He drove the truck, so I asked for a ride home because I didn't want to bike up the unavoidable hill that's on the way back to the house, hahaha. Here is my bike, who is named Seymour. He's leaning against my Dad's gingko tree.

I am glad you enjoyed the movie as well.
Also, I am pleased to hear that I was not the only one that cried :)
Happy New Year.
