Chota mota for a Tuesday in January

[linaewen]

If you recall, "chota mota" is Urdu for this and that, bits and bobs, odds and ends -- it literally means "small fat." Here are a few odds and ends to start off my day...

**This excellent advice was printed in the bulletin of my church at home, which we attended over the holidays:

A smile is a curve that can set most things straight.

Never look down on someone, unless you are helping them get up.

I really like these -- and I shall endeavor to put this advice into practice every day. :-D In fact, today I shall try smiling in the face of the writing deadline that is making me very nervous right now...

**I walked a quarter of a mile yesterday just doing housework -- and that involved mostly stairs, up and down! I'm feeling a bit stiff today, but it will pass -- especially once I get home to do some more up and down walking. ;-)


**Here's an addition to my Sean Bean alert of last night, concerning his role in Flight Plan -- yay, he's going to be a good guy again! Maybe he'll even get the girl for a change. ;-)

The Express (uk) on Christmas Eve had the following on their 'Showbiz' page, accompanied by a headshot of Sean: 'Heart-throb Sean Bean is ditching his movie villain image to play the nice guy for once. He stars opposite Jodie Foster in a new thriller, Flight Plan, in which he plays a dashing captain. "I'm trying to diversify," he laughs. "I play an airine pilot who helps Jodie's character when her child goes missing in mid flight. He's a good, responsible man. "But I do enjoy villainous roles. They're really meaty - something you can get your teeth into. It's good to be horrible." The Sheffield hunk's latest picture, National Treasure, sees him [being true to his word] and playing the bad guy again.'

Guess that's it for now, I'd better get to work!
