Kinda’ sad but good.  Zhang Ziyi plays 3 generations of women in a family, the grandmother, mother, child.  Grandmother becomes an actress, gets pregnant and abandoned by the guy who knocked her up.  She moves home to live with her mother and raise her daughter.  Daughter grows up and meets a nice guy, they get married, she’s infertile so they adopt a daughter.  This grand-daughter grows up to marry a guy who knocks her up then abandons her.

The story has a happy ending because in the end, these women (the grandmother and the granddaughter) live optimistically.  They’re not bummed out by the dudes. 

Popcorn and potato chips (Ruffles) make sad movies not so sad. 

To offset my couch potato tendencies, I went out for a bike ride last night.  I’m trying to practice getting off the bike the proper way as my coworker explained it to me.  Step forward from the seat and land on one leg propping yourself up.  Right on.
