Dinner and a movie with W. last night. Took the opportunity to see a chick flick, and so decided on Memoirs of a Geisha. Wasn't sure if I'd like it, but it wasn't at all bad. Mind you, I can't imagine it's a very accurate portrayal of the geisha world in the 1930s, but it was pleasant enough to watch. And visually, it's very beautiful. Actually, it's pretty much a series of attractive tableaux - wonderful costumes, picturesque settings, and graceful women dancing, pouring tea and applying makeup. Not a deep or profound film by any means, but quite nice all the same.
I've been meaning to pick up the novel by Arthur Golden for some time - must seek that out now.
