The Prince & Me (2004)

By -

Of course this targets teen girls, and they probably like it fine (I think Julia Stiles and Luke Mably have great chemistry in the movie), but it wasn’t one of the classic teen flicks, like 10 Things I Hate About You or Clueless, that appeal to a broader audience. Some of it was okay, but I really could have done without the computer-generated butterflies during the “romantic” moments.

    For the most part, I liked this movie. It was a fun little romance. But I didn't like the heavy drinking in the very beginning (shots done in the middle of the day) and then the little library scene? That was a little intense for a cute teen flick. I mean, they were tearing each other's clothes off! My favorite parts were the parts with her family on the farm. It was a good way to get to know her background, her cool brothers and the prince's personable side (since he was pretty shallow before that). Daniel likes to point out that she's the only one holding a Pepsi cup at the tractor race. Daniel's hobby is finding all the commercials in movies.

Deja Vu (2006)

By -
I went to see this movie with a friend at the late showing. It sure kept me awake! I thought it was really a fun one to watch with a lot to keep you guessing. It had some good twists and turns in the plot. I think it's better to know nothing about a movie before watching it. I didn't know anything about this and so it was all surprising. Very unrealistic and had a lot of little things you say, "But wait..." to, but getting past all the geeky science stuff, and accepting it as a sci-fi...it was pretty cool. Some gross dead body stuff. But otherwise, a fairly clean movie. Go see it.

Bulgarian books in Oklahoma

Back in May we went on a long road trip to Oklahoma City to visit Erin's sister, Ivy Skinner, and her family. We had a great time with the Skinners, and also got to spend time with Brian Dunn and Ron & Crystal Phipps and their kids. At a used bookstore in Edmond, the suburb of Oklahoma City where the Skinners live, I came across several Bulgarian books from the 1970s and 1980s: The one on the left is Ray Bradbury's I Sing the Body Electric , and on the right is a collection called "Black Sun" with Karel Čapek's R.U.R. , Yevgeny Zamyatin's We , George Orwell's Animal Farm , and Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 . That's the title page of Ray Bradbury's I Sing the Body Electric . That one is The Trip of Icarus by Bulgarian science fiction author Lyuben Dilov. The Wikipedia page about him says the story adds a Fourth Law of Robotics, extending the original three laws proposed by Isaac Asimov: "A robot must establish its identi

No shortage

Two things we don't seem to have a shortage of in our area at the moment. Orange juice (at Winco in Idaho Falls): I was really taken aback by the wall of orange juice options. And grateful! The other thing we're not currently lacking is baby chickens (15 baby hens about a week or two old, in our front yard):
