Little miss sunshine
So D and I had dinner with M&M (married couple with the same initials). Guess what? She's pregnant! We also talked to a (secretly) pregnant woman yesterday. This is getting out of control.
We went to Josie's, this organic place on the Upper West Side, and it was super fabulous. I had butternut squash soup with basil pesto (dairy-free), an avocado, tofu and chickpea salad, and then D and I shared a slice of their vegan apple pie. So did M&M.
Afterward we saw Little Miss Sunshine. There were 2 dogs out front of the theater; this woman was trying to get them adopted. We donated some money and I patted one of the dogs. After the movie, the same dog was very tired. I felt bad for it lying on the concrete. If I were the woman, I would bring a blanket.
The movie was very good, though I was saddened by the sight of the dog afterward. It had a lot more energy before the movie. D and I had a debate about the theme of the movie. I felt it was tied up with winning...the father's obsession. D pointed out that the father's fixation was misplaced and proved to be shallow. Instead, it was about "embracing your inner freak" (in a dance scene that did not quite rival the ending of Napoleon Dynamite, but was impressive in its own right).

VK - i think so! another friend, who kind of dumped d and me after we started dating, is pregnant...i heard it through another friend...so that makes 3 people who are pregnant at once.
So many pregnant people, it must be something in the air, like maybe LEGS.

What could rival that scene? If this movie is the one I'm thinking of, I really want to see it, but I don't even know where the movie theaters are in my new town!
Kitkat - you should definitely see it. Maybe you can check the newspaper? hopefully there is one close to you!
