bad parenting
After the Christmas feast and the weekly Playing Of The Boggle, after a slice of pie slathered with a daringly large dollop of real whipped cream, we began to stir in the general direction of the living room and talk about watching a movie, a nicely inert activity especially suited to days when our bellies Read.

The Apartment
Somehow, I had never seen Billy Wilder’s movie The Apartment until yesterday afternoon. I can’t believe that’s even possible. Way back in prehistoric times, when there were just three television networks and maybe one UHF station that you might be able to tune into if the weather wasn’t too bad, they showed sitcoms and dramas Read.

The Road
We watched The Road last night. I’m still not sure why we did that. We’d all read the book and knew that it was going to be bleak and depressing and yet, when given a choice between that and Star Trek, we all opted for The Road. I guess we just wanted to emotionally beat Read.

Once Upon A Time In America
“I think we’ve stuck with this long enough,” My Darling B said after we had watched about forty-five minutes of Once Upon A Time In America. “Any time you want to put an end to this is okay with me.” This is supposed to be Sergio Leone’s best movie ever. For my money, Leone’s best Read.

clean
The oldies station was playing Satisfaction while we ate our lunch today. I can’t hear that song without recalling the scene in Apocalypse Now when Clean dances across the deck of the boat while Satisfaction is playing on Armed Forces Radio. Actually, whenever I hear Fishburne’s name I picture him in that scene. It’s really Read.

mittwoch
I hope we’ll all take a moment today to remember the brave men who banded together at a time of crisis to repel the invasion of aliens from another planet and make this our Independence Day! It’s really weird having a day off from work in the middle of the week. Read.

prometheus
I saw the movie Prometheus with My Darling B and Tim last night. We were so confused when we came out that we talked about it all the way home, trying to sort out the plot holes, but they were so many that we stood around in the living room of Our Humble O’Bode for Read.
