Overdue Library Books

  • Greg Iles: The Footprints of God : A Novel

    Greg Iles: The Footprints of God : A Novel
    Just started but already addicted. I've read most of the other books by this author and I've never been dissapointed. My favorite so far has been "Black Cross."

  • J.R.R. Tolkien: The Return of the King (The Lord of the Rings, Part 3)

    J.R.R. Tolkien: The Return of the King (The Lord of the Rings, Part 3)
    Reading it before seeing it on the big screen. I read the first two last year and loved them.

  • Wally Lamb: I Know This Much Is True

    Wally Lamb: I Know This Much Is True
    This is a book that is so deep and intense, there's no way to barrel through it. I've found it a bit of a roller coaster ride. I was hooked in the first chapter and then spent then next 6 chapters convincing myself to keep reading. I'm really glad I did. By the end of the book I felt I knew the characters personally. The author does an excellent job of drawing you into the story. I highly recommend it. It's very long, ~900 pages, but well worth it. (*****)

Popcorn with Genuine Imitation Butter

  • Just Married (2003)
    I went into this movie with low expectations. I was pleasantly surprised. It's mostly slapstick/situation comedy but was quite amusing. Ted and I both enjoyed it. (7/10)
  • High Noon (1952)
    If you haven't seen it - rent it! Although I did feel like my parents... "Isn't that so and so? Is he still alive? Wasn't he in...?" Great drama and suspense. 9/10
  • Bend It Like Beckham (2002)
    Great movie for the whole family. Erin and Teddy both enjoyed it and they usually only like cartoons. It's also a great way to learn about another culture - the kids had a lot of questions about the Indian culture after seeing this movie. (8/10)

On the Tube

  • American Chopper
    Yes, they're dysfunctional - but they make such cool choppers!
  • The Apprentice
    I accidentally watched the first episode. Now I'm hooked. Damn these reality shows.
  • ER
    This is the only show I watch religiously.

The Rain Button

Driving in the car:

Teddy: Can we call God and tell him to make it stop raining?
Me: You can pray and ask Him. He's very busy so he may not have time today to make it stop raining.
Teddy: I know what happened! He accidentally pushed the rain button!
Me: (chuckling) You're probably right.
Teddy: I know why God made it rain!
Me: Why?
Teddy: So all of the flowers could have water to drink!
Me: That's right.
Teddy: Maybe if everyone watered all of their flowers it wouldn't have to rain. Everyone could go outside and water their flowers and then it wouldn't rain.
Me: Hmm... But what about the flowers in the forest? They don't belong to anyone so who would water those?
Teddy: I know! People would go hunt for those flowers!
Me: How would they get the water there? A hose wouldn't be long enough.
Teddy: I know! They could use a watering can.
Me: That sure would be a lot of trips into the forest because you can't carry much water in a watering can.
Teddy: (thinks about that for a few seconds then mumbles) It was just an idea.
