Well, I just soaked my feet in some sort of salt concoction which is supposed to make it easy to scrape all the dead skin off. Then Kayla got out this huge aluminum cheese grater for feet and went to town. Then she rubbed my feet with the salt stuff directly which made them feel all slimy. Now that I'm done, the heels are pretty good, but my big toes still need some work. I think I need my first pedicure to get this taken care of. We'll just have to wait and see. Kayla and I are about to sit down and watch Red Dragon, the prequel to The Silence of the Lambs.
Cape Fear: Last night I watched some of this until Kayla fell asleep (after freaking out in fear before even watching it). It was really good but not nearly as scary as I was lead to believe it would be. The movie is actually an excellent psychological thriller more so than a scary movie. It was good none the less. De Niro was outstanding as usual, and Nick Nolte was very good as well. Juliette Lewis just doesn't do it for me...she always seems too weird and sexual in her movies. I guess the word is "advanced" especially for a 15-year old in this particular film.
Cold Mountain: I saw this last weekend and wasn't expecting much. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The beginning is slow but necessary to set up the rest of the film. Jude Law plays the Civil War soldier separated from his true love Nicole Kidman. There are two plots: Jude's character trying to escape the war and get back to Nicole while Nicole is struggling to keep her farm afloat after her father dies. Thankfully she gets help from Katy native Renee Zellweger's character who is ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING in her role as a country bumpkin, hard-working girl. There are tons of other big celebrities in this film including Natalie Portman, Donald Sutherland, and the greatness that is Philip Seymour Hoffman. The movie was long, but it was well worth the rental (even if Zellweger and Hoffman were the only characters). Go check it out.

re: Cold Mountain -- something about this one really got to me, though I wasn't really expecting it to be good either. We ended up watching it several times. We just saw $1,000,000 Baby last night which really turned out great, in a similar manner. I didn't know if I was going to be able to stand two hours of people beating the shit out of each other, but it turned out differently than expected. Hooray!
