Video Tour of our Pocklington House

By -

I made this video a while ago but haven't posted it yet because I wasn't happy with it. I can't remember why now, so I'm just going to post it. Ignore the towels hanging all over the place. There is a fitness center very close and various groups of us have been going swimming once or twice a week, so there are always towels hanging everywhere. Unless, of course, they are lying all over the floor, so I guess I should feel happy that they're hanging up!

    I like this house. Your kitchen seems nice. And that bathroom is cool. Too bad it can't be split into two or three. One bathroom is so hard with so many people. It's fun seeing everyone. HI, EVERYBODY! It's me, Aunt IVY!

      We like the house, too. The kitchen here is a good size and we have a freezer, which we didn't have in Liverpool. We are doing okay with one bathroom, but it does get ridiculous every now and then. When we go back to Prague, we'll have a separate toilet (toilet and sink) and bathroom (bath/shower, sink, washing machine), which will help.

      I also like the wavy floor upstairs and the stairs of varying heights, although both of those would probably really bother me if we owned the place. Since we're only here for a couple of months, it's just quirky.

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.

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):

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
