'search for happyness', B-

i took a day off from studying and went shopping. yesterday, in italy, the 'boxing day' sale started. for some reason (i think it is law), a store cant have a post-christmas sale until mid-january (this year, jan 13th). i went out looking to see if there was anything good, but didnt find anything. the sales last for 2 weeks. i think i will find better+less expensive stuff at the end of the sale. after, i had a craving for a cigar so i bought a "romeo and juliet", sat on the spanish steps, lit it up and really enjoyed it. i thought of the time when my buddies came to italy two years ago, sat on the spanish steps and smoked a cigar at 10pm (hi frank / netta). while smoking, i also called up my cousin in milan, chatted, and when the cigar finished, i went to see 'search for happyness' with phil and peter. it was a very nice rags-to-riches story, but very slow. it stars will smith and the son in the movie is will's real son. the chemistry between the two was great.
