Yesterday at mass, we had a guest priest from Cross International (an excellent charity if you are looking for something to really help the poor). Listening to his homily really inspired me to want to contribute. I knew there is a lot of hunger in the world, but I had no idea that a child starves to death every FIVE SECONDS. In garbage dumps around the world, people are fighting with feral dogs to get to the "new" garbage so that they can pull out the food and use it to feed themselves and their children. I'm going to try and live a vegan diet for 6 days a week and use the money I save to send to Cross. Every $0.18 that I contribute feeds someone for a day. What a bargain!
One of my sisters and I spent Friday and Saturday enjoying Edward Norton movies. What a treat! I knew that I liked his work in Fight Club, but I was even more impressed by his first movie, Primal Fear. What a brilliant job he does playing a split personality, with a surprise twist. Then we watched him in Keeping the Faith, where he did a comedic turn. He seems to have an almost endless range. He is able to make me forget that he is an actor. I find myself responding as though this is who he is, and then I'm surprised to find out that he is someone completely different in the next movie. Johnny Depp's performances have the same effect on me. I love being able to completely suspend my disbelief like that.
