Video Tour of the Lodge in Liverpool

By -

Yes, there are already pictures of our Liverpool house on the blog, but I like the video tours I've been doing and wanted one for what has been my favorite place so far. This last weekend, we had to go somewhere else for three nights because they were previously booked when I found this place. Our weekend apartment was closer to the church, which was nice, but way too small for our family and with abysmal internet access and drunk football fans above us, so we were really happy to get back this morning!

A couple of things: this house used to belong to the Jewish cemetery next door and the caretaker lived here, hence all the explanation about which was the front door, etc. Also, if you happen to be counting beds, there are enough for 7 people here, but there's a cot that we set up in the dining room, so one of the boys sleeps there or on the couch, depending on mood and how cold they think it might be. (The cot's colder than the couch, but the couch is not really long enough to be really comfortable.)

(The frame of the video that YouTube has chosen is awful and kind of looks like I'm recording Lillian having a seizure or something, but do not be alarmed. She is just lying on the living room floor complaining about being tired. Does anyone know how to change what YouTube is showing? Will it even be showing the same thing once I post this? I don't know.)

    Ooooo I really like this place. It's very nice, seems big enough and has all those old architectural details that are so pretty. And the brick is pretty. I like you purse on the staircase banister. It's cute! :) You all look very English. I was hoping for accents. oh well.

The Princess Bride by William Goldman

What a fun book to read. We read this for book club and then watched the movie (which wasn't necessary since we've all seen it so many times we were quoting the whole thing). It is better to know from the beginning that Goldman wrote it all, there is no S. Morgenstern. You feel less duped. I thought it was really obvious that Goldman is the true author (his humor is the same throughout, there's no way the language is from the era Goldman claims it is from), but, I do remember thinking it really was an abridgment when I read it in high school or junior high. And a lot of the ladies at book club didn't know the whole thing is fake either. Some decided they didn't like the book just because they felt deceived by the author. It is so funny though. And you get all this background information about Inigo, Fezzik and Buttercup. I love the way he tries to place the book in time... "This was before Europe," then later he talks about Paris. Also, when he describes...

Arrested Development, Season One (2003)

By -
I really enjoyed this and even started to feel a little addicted to it by the end. I like watching TV shows on DVD—it’s great to have no commercials and to be able to watch as many episodes as you want. Although this can also be detrimental if you watch six or eight episodes and find it’s 1:00 am when you finally force yourself to stop. Anyway, “Arrested Development” is very funny. All of the characters are hilarious and well-acted, and one of them rides a Segue! Shouldn’t more people be making fun of Segues? I’m looking forward to seeing the second season, but I don’t know if we can bring ourselves to buy it. We like to leach off of other people for our DVD needs, especially when it comes to TV shows.

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):
