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.

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):
