The best part about making these pin cushions is positioning the straight pins so that it looks like he's wearing earrings. It really is the simple things in life.

Shall we talk Movie Talk? Here's my over all views on the movies we've seen recently:

Solaris: We had seen the George Clooney/Steven Soderbergh version a while ago and were pretty much underwhelmed. Maybe it was because of Clooney, maybe Soderbergh's hubris. In any event, the original 1972 version is wonderfully slow and intimate. Highly recommend.

Superman Returns: At some point I was almost positive Superman's cleft chin was going to start talking to me. Not much more to say about this movie other than the best part being the original theme.

Cars: We decided to see a second feature after Superman Returns (read: snuck into another movie). I guess there was a meeting of The Worst Parents in the World Club at the theater and we didn't know it.

First of all, we were at a 10:30 showing of Cars. Means it wasn't going to end until around midnight. It was way past my bedtime and I'm 28 years old! Second, before the movie even started, a little boy asked his mom to take him to the bathroom. Guess it wasn't a high priority to her because the next thing I heard was the distinct sound of pissing in a cup right behind my head. Just great. And lastly, the people next to us insisted on talking about paying bills and cleaning their carpets the entire time. I was two seats over and still know which type of carpet cleaner they're going with. Seriously people, your 3 year old boy has better manners than you!

Well, that said, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I'll let you know how An Inconvenient Truth was next week!
