Movie Wisdom

I've been watching a lot of movies lately. Not for any particular reason, I just sometimes find there are so many I haven't seen that I feel like I have to spend some time catching up. Here is the vast wisdom I've pulled from my latest selection.

Message from the movie Splice:

"You made your monster and now you must...sleep with it?"

Message from the movie Legend of the Guardians:

"Owls are so cute!"


Message to the writer, "Yes we can tell that you borrowed most of your ideas from other fantasy stories but appreciate that you translated them to the world of adorable baby owls"








Message from the movie To Paris with Love:

"Be wary of people who make their own clothes"
"No really that's all I could think..."

Message from the movie Inception:
"The subconscious is violent...very violent"
Oh and as my friend wrote on Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Facebook,
"Dear Mr. King, I had a dream - within a dream - within a dream...now what? Leo"

  1. LOL on the Martin Luther King Jr. quote. Seriously made me grin. :D

Excursions in beautiful Riviera Nayarit!

Well it's been just over a week now since I got back from my vacation. When I look back it's clear that outside of the normal bumps of any vacation, it was a very pleasant one! My parents and I flew into Puerto Vallarta at around 4pm on Friday July 1. As we stumbled into the crowded airport and attempted to manuever our way through the throngs of sales people, the kissy faces of a number of Mexican men made me suddenly all too conscious of my "Kiss me I'm Canadian" shirt. Oh well, like anyone would dare try with my Mom nearby (she gives off very protective Mom vibes...I think it may be because she's very protective). Anyway after a run in with a sales man who had briefly convinced us he was our Sun Wing Rep, we managed to slump into a nice air conditioned bus that took us the 20 minutes or so to Riviera Nayarit and up to our Resort "Riu Jalisco". It took me a good part of the trip to realize that the "j" is Jalisco is pronounced "h...

Gingerbread Cupcakes!

Well here they are, my rendition of a cupcake featuring ginger - in this case gingerbread cupcakes! I thought they turned out pretty good. I added 1/2 a cup more milk than I was supposed to and yet they managed to turn out fairly good texture wise. The flavour is a lot like gingerbread (with a few extra helpings of ginger) and the icing is a cream cheese icing.

One thing continually bothers me as I read Diana Gabaldon's richly detailed story of Claire Beauchampe, a doctor who innocently walks into a stone formation in Scotland and winds up in 16th century Scotland. Much has happened since this beginning...Claire has married Jamie Fraser the young and impressive Scottish Laird (against her wishes), fallen madly in love with him regardless of a precarious beginning to their relationship, followed him around as they attempt to evade the English, fought with him at the battle of Culloden, been forced back through the stones to safety with their unborn child, raised their child with her ambiguous husband from the future, returned after her child had grown up so that she could find him, made a new life with him in an American Colony, and been surprised by the appearance of her daughter and new son in law in 16th century America. Through their many, often rediculous, adventures there is that one thing that my brain ...
