My Seussical Life for 2004 July 2

Atticus, as of late, has invented some pretty interesting stories that he stands by with unfailing confidence. He will occasionally share these with friends and strangers. Sometimes this is quite embarrassing, as you'll understand when you read them.

#1 Atticus is absolutely convinced that he was born in Chicago. I don't know how or why he designed this idea, but he is sure it is true.

#2 Since the birth of Laurelin, Matthew's baby sister (Matthew is Atticus' good playmate next door), Atticus will randomly tell people that I have two baby sisters growing in my tummy.

Note: this is NOT an announcement.

#3 The last, which he has been spouting off for a few weeks now, and which comes up more and more since our drive to take Aunt Kristen to the airport, is that we are flying on an airplane to Canada tomorrow. This is the only tale that has any inkling of truth. We are flying on an airplane to Canada, but not for another three and a half weeks.

We watched Moonstruck last week while Kristen was visiting. It was so fresh and funny, I was plesantly entertained.

When Dave and I rent movies, or borrow them from the library, we usually like to pick two: one safe pick and one risky pick. What I mean by "safe" is one that has been reccomended, or has gotten good reviews, etc. We select our "risky" pick by scanning the shelves and letting something catch our eye. This leads to some interesting movie experiences. Here are two of my favorite "risky" picks: The Wrong Guy (though I didn't care for any of Mr. Nagel's scenes) and Rubin and Ed.
