This is too silly not to share. You must watch it twice. Hope you get as many ridiculous giggles out of this as I did.

just when i thought i couldn't love him any more....

Are you kidding me? I am already on the waiting list. A children's book written by one of my favs - love this.

P.S.- How cute is Bo on the cover?

the exploding girl

The Exploding Girl is lovely and languorous as its sentiment is very true and quite tender. Zoe Kazan's character study of Ivy is rather profound as her emotions aren't expressed through words but rather silences. The overall effect of this film is quite powerful as we all know what it feels like to have someone be so close and yet so far. I am a fan.

disco swimming

Tis moonlight, summer moonlight

Tis moonlight, summer moonlight,

All soft and still and fair;

The solemn hour of midnight

Breathes sweet thoughts everywhere,

But most where trees are sending

Their breezy boughs on high,

Or stooping low are lending

A shelter from the sky.

And there in those wild bowers

A lovely form is laid;

Green grass and dew-steeped flowers

Wave gently round her head.
