Persepolis

Last night I was watching an animated French film from 2007 on TV called Persepolis, directed by Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud. The movie is based on the autobiographical graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi. Opening in an airport in Paris, Marjane Satrapi (voiced by Chiara Mastroianni) contemplates boarding a plane to Iran, as she waits, she remembers her childhood experiences during the 1979 revolution in Iran, and subsequent war with Iraq. It was a really good movie, very stylishly animated, and intelligent, moving and often very funny.

Before the movie I did manage to do some writing which I was really quite happy about.

Today was the start of another week at work. In order to get some exercise, instead of taking the bus, I walked to and from work (which takes about half an hour each way). It was a very slow and very dull day in the office as it almost always is.
