"Show me how you do that trick..."

That's a line from The Cure song "Just Like Heaven." We just saw the movie. It was a little slow, very sweet and kind of old-fashioned. I would definitely recommend it if you like rom coms.

They did play some cover of The Cure song over the opening credits (bad!) but they played the original version at the end.

Lots of beautiful shots of San Fran, where we may spend part of the winter, though I don't want to move there. I felt connected to this apple right away ;)

Tomorrow is yoga school, we'll be covering mantras and pranayama (breathing exercises). It's a lecture day, which is fine. I have to bring my yoga buddy's Yankees cap because she forgot it at my apartment. It's kind of funny because I come from a family of Red Sox fans.

I'm reading Easy by Emma Gold. It's kind of ridiculous but very funny.

New York Metro (the free newspaper they assault you with before you get on the subway) thought that "Just Like Heaven" was terrible, and, yes, they mentioned that the Cure song cover was a bad idea. But A.O.Scott, of the NY Times, loved "Just Like Heaven." I'm reassured that Scott, who I liked, was right. All is right with the universe. And I'm glad you liked the show.

We saw this yesterday, too, and liked it a lot. It wasn't super-fabulous, but it was fun, and sweet, and had a happy ending. I like movies with happy endings...it seems there aren't enough of them in this world.

I agree! Depressing movies are not on my list most of the time. Also, it didn't have any violence. I hate it when movies are just about a bunch of guys punching each other.

I saw JLH on Saturday. Watched a cheesy romance while eating cheesy fries. Yay! I thought it was better than the reviews made it sound, but not exactly going to get anyone an Oscar. Sweet and cute. And I cried a couple of times. Then again, I cried at the end of Hoosiers and several times during Vera Drake, so maybe I just had to get something out of my system this weekend.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

The return of Rudolph

Rudolph is our small furry friend, whom I've never seen. He visited the kitchen last night while D was up late. I know this because: 1) A large sonic device is plugged in right in front of the crack between the oven and the wall. The sonic devices in the living room have kept Rudolph away from there, his previous hideaway. Apparently the cracks between appliances and the wall are harder to reach. 2) The mop has been moved from the hall closet to the kitchen closet. This means D tried to capture Rudolph. 3) A turtle magnet I haven't seen in a while is now on the fridge. That means it fell behind the oven and D found it during his interactions with Rudolph. (I am praying hard that Rudolph is a boy, since we don't want to find many small Rudolphs.) What makes me feel better about this whole thing is that mice are apparently everywhere this winter; even my brother has had problems with them. And this little guy seems to stay behind the oven and only appears around 4 am (only D
