Julie and Julia Movie Review

It's been a while since I've done a movie review, but here goes... Julie and Julia is about two women.  Julia Child who writes a cookbook called Mastering the Art of French Cooking and her protege, Julie Powell a woman from Queens Borough, New York City, New York.  Julie decides early on in her story that she will make every recipe in Julia's book in one year and will blog about her adventure.  Her blog was posted on Salon.com  I'm not sure if it's still there.  She turned it into a best-selling book.  Why would she or for that matter, her publisher, want people to be able to access the material for free when they should be paying for it?

December 11 party

Well, my dad hasn't really been in a good mood recently.  I'm not sure why.  I've noticed it for about a week now.  There is a December 11th swim team party that my parents are hosting for the holidays, but at this point I'm really not sure if I want to go to it.  I'm not sure that my dad is capable of behaving civilized right now.  I have a feeling that he's going to blow up about something at the party, and I'm afraid that if I go, he'll expect me to be the one cleaning dishes while he socializes and talks about how much time he spent preparing for the party.  I only say that because it's what happened last year.  And when I tell him that I am a guest not the host, he say yes you are not the host.  I'll then point out that it is the host's responsibility to clean up after the guests in a situation like this and he'll get angry.  I know that he's going to blow up about something, so to avoid the stress of the pending affair, I'm hereby choosing to avoid it entirely.

My Aunt Bonnie

I just learned that my Aunt Bonnie has died of cancer.  Wait for it... 6 MONTHS AGO!!!!  My question to my parents: Why the hell didn't you tell me sooner?

Lost Keys

Well I lost my keys.  I had them when I got home on Friday so logically, they should be in the apartment.  I have no idea where they could have gone.  I didn't leave the apartment on Saturday, so they absolutely have to be in the apartment.  I searched for three hours for those keys Saturday morning, and my mom and i searched together for an hour Saturday afternoon.  I think that I'm going to just have them duplicated at ACE Hardware later today.
