Chicago



No no no no no - haven't been there yet :) Although I wouldn't really resist the offer - I always wondered what is it like in the country that people tend to go to and live the American Dream. Alright, it's not as mass as it used to be, but it's still happening.

And my Finance and Business IT Systems' lecturer said this week that he hopes to be alive on the day that the US are no longer the world's strongest economy, hehe. Well - good luck to ya. Quite frankly... I wouldn't mind seeing that either. Just out of curiosity, you understand.

Yes, that's right - I'm attending classes in university again! And to top it, I also became a mentor for two Erasmus students that came to study here. Erasmus is a Europe-wide student mobility programme of the EU. And a mentor is someone who meets the international students at the Airport, and guides them around. Fun. Especially al the parties.

Anyway... moving on to the REAL topic of this post (would you believe it?! There actually is one!). I thought I should let you in on one of my favourite movies - "Chicago". Rarely does Hollywood produce anything as good as this (IMHO). Here are some of my favourite moments!

And now Ladies and Gentlemen! The keeper of the keys, the countess of the clink, the mistress of murderer's row - Matron Mama Morton!



Yeah. I know. Bad quality. That's why you have to watch the movie and really see her performance - definitely worth it! That's Queen Latifah performing (duuuh - but just in case you didn't know)

The Finale - wow, what a show! I could watch them forever!



And there's more to the movie than just this. If you have an ear for jazz and enjoy a good movie (and are living on a deserted island - only this fact could justify the fact that you've still haven't seen it! Okay - either that or being abducted by aliens, who hypnotised you into thinking that you hate the actors in this movie and it's really crap) - go for it. Seeing it twice (thrice, four times... you name it, personally, I've lost count) is also a good idea ;)


And it's good, isn't it? Nowadays...
