  BlogFebruary2008 BlogMarch2009 Thursday 5th February 2009 The Girl Who Could Leap Through Time The Birmingham International Film Society runs at the Library Theatre, filling some of the gap which the closure of The MAC left in Brum. Tonight they showed a Japanese "Magic Girl" film, but one set in modern, real-world, Japan. The street scenes reminded me so much of my visit to Japan back in 2007. Our heroine finds, as you might guess from the title, that she can travel through time - she literally has to leap in order to do so, and typically ends in a heap. Initially, she uses her gift for small things, like getting home before her sister eats her pudding, but as time goes on, she needs to spend more of her leaps trying to sort out the repercussions of her interference. One of the things I liked about this film was that there were several points at which I thought "This must be the end, what a great end to the film", only to be proved wrong. You can see (at least some of it) on YouTube Monday 2nd February 2009 Purple Potato Pakora Today I made Purple Potato Pakora, something I'd been thinking about for a couple of weeks since I discovered a stall in the indoor market which sold purple potatoes. Here's a picture of the finished product: Purple Potato (and Courgette) Pakora There's more pictures and a rough recipe here. BlogFebruary2008 BlogMarch2009
