So many movies I want to see lately. Here's the list. Comment if you want to see them with me...or comment on them anyway...you decide.

1. Good Night and Good Luck
2. New York Doll-still havent' seen it
3. Pride and Predjudice-could never pass up another Jane Austen remake
4. Walk the Line
5. The Da Vinci Code (one word: Tom Hanks)
6. Memoirs of a Geisha (rent it)
7. Harry Potter 4 (I admit it, I DO want to see it)
8. Bee Season

12. Rent (with the original Broadway cast)
13. Little Manhattan
14. The Producers

2. Syriana
3. Nine Lives
4. Casanova

Movies I will not be seeing:

1. Looking for Comedy in a Muslim World (for embarrassingly bad stereotypes)

Yes to:

Pride and Prejudice,
Harry Potter (4)

When out on video:
Memories of Geisha,
Walk the Line

What is the bee mcphee thing? If it has Colin Firth in it, I am there. So, the secret love of our generation of women ;)

Also, you need to read Scully's post for today, I'm sure you would have some good opinions to share on this.

Saw NY Doll this weekend. It made me cry. David Johansen was just like every anti-mo kid in my highschool (in SLC this usually means anyone who isn't a mormon, or who was but has joined the antis). They think they are good people, but are afraid to understand. Arthur is a beatiful person with a great story.

I also saw these movies this weekend (it was the "movies" weekend): Rushmore (a wes anderson classic), and Matrix Revolutions (I do not recommend this one).

Playing house

I have no idea how I got here. I spent so much time dating and being single and going through boyfriends and now here I am -- in my late 30's, married and with a baby on the way. Sometimes it doesn't feel real, like I'm playing house. Last night my husband and I ordered nursery furniture from Pottery Barn. We made a list of things we still need to get from Amazon and discussed the credit cards with the best points to put it on for travel miles and cash back bonuses. We have 401k's and a savings account and talk about stock investments. You'd think, at almost 40, I would feel like a responsible adult and this would all feel normal right now. It does not. Any moment I wonder when I'm going to wake up. There were times I thought maybe I'll never get married. I wondered if I'd be able to have children -- or get the chance to even try. This baby, so far, seems so healthy and so far I've felt healthy throughout the pregnancy. I'm blessed with go

Don't Touch My Junk

I am appalled that so many in my generation are ready and willing to roll over and be sexually assaulted (and let their children be sexually assaulted), give up their rights to privacy and ignore their rights as stated in the 4th Amendment all in the name of supposed security at airports. This new TSA measure is outrageous and ineffective. I did not always feel this way. Like so many others, I didn't see the big deal. However, on more careful examination of the 4th Amendment as well as the many, many assaults that have already taken place, and along with an understanding of the measures we really should be taking to ensure our safety, I have changed my mind. This video is of a man who recorded his experience going through TSA. He asked the TSA agent not to "touch his junk". That's when the TSA agent put him on the no fly list and asked him to step out of line. After questioning he then tried to leave the airport but was told he had to go through the entire procedu
