I'm running for the border, kids. It's vacation time and my hubby and I are headed down to Cabo San Lucas for some R&R. I have promised my love one full Britney Spears-free week, but I'm secretly hoping Britney flies down there and I make nice with her. I can see it now -- we'll bond over our babies, have some Margaritas and, before I know it, I'll be on next week's cover of US Weekly. Seriously, Suzy has promised to take good care of you (like always!), and I will be back before you can say Jose Cuervo. I'll miss you! Hasta la pasta, babies! .
OscarNattersWatch: Eastern Promises
I need to see more of the films before making a prediction of who will take best actor, but the idea that the Academy will give the awards to a portrayal of tamped down mobster seems a long shot at present. While this film appeals to the much prized teenage boy demographic, and director David Cronenberg is a master storyteller who excels at delving into the darker recesses of the human psyche, you have to wonder at what point nominating extremely violent films becomes a turn-off for audiences. Sweeney Todd, No Country for Old Men are also soused in blood, and anecdotally I am hearing people say they just aren't interested in seeing these films as a result. On a side note, I took in "Eastern Promises" at the Parkway Theater in south Minneapolis. It's the first time I have visited since renovation work began and it's good to see the place looking so lively, particularly with the new doorway into the restaurant next door.

Mohamed Ali Palace Shubra Tel: 447-3371 / 735-7001 EXPERIENCE Egypt's most unique churchesNestled behind the Zabaleen village, the Moqattam grottos' natural beauty has been turned into a spiritual wonder for Zabaleen's Coptic residents. Multiple caves have been converted into worship houses, and the largest, the Church of St. Simon the Tanner (Deir Samaan Kharraz), is more of a limestone stadium than a chapel. Paired with the splendid carved biblical scenes in the surrounding rock faces, the church grounds' rugged aesthetics are a miracle in themselves.
