A Few Things..

Last Friday we had a rare night without the child, he spent the night at his grandparents! So we did what any self-respecting parents would do - drank and stayed up till 2 a.m. Some friends came over and we went to Dive Night at the Aquarium, which was awesome - think booze and DJs and fish. And we jammed all night to the Stranger Things playlist. It was pretty amazing to be honest. 
New hair style to try, the Bun Cuff. I have ten million cuff bracelets that haven't seen the light of day in probably a decade, but I've never been able to toss em in the donate pile. Wonder if they'll do...
Pretty Girls. I've been reading this book for a few months now, sometimes I can't put it down, and other times it drags on with no end in sight. I will say that it has one of the most shocking violent scenes I have ever read...or visualized while reading. Not that it makes it good or bad, but I guess it's sort of nice to audibly gasp while reading a novel.
Currently using this charcoal toothpaste a friend turned me onto and I love it! My mouth literally feels sparkling clean, and I got a craving yesterday in the middle of the day for the taste of it, how odd is that?

This would be like, my wildest dream come true.

This six part series is an amazing read, excellent journalistic narrative.

Fiesta Americana in Cozumel, Mexico

This past June we traveled to Cozumel, Mexico for a little R & R at the amazing, eclectic, clean, modern Fiesta Americana. My parents met us down there from Minnesota, and it was amazing. 

Here's some photos:


























We didn't take enough pictures, we took no family photos! Not a single one, but I guess that means we were just having too good a time IRL. We plan on doing a family trip like this every year now, it was really great to spend time with my folks in paradise.

A Little Bit of Life

We just had one of those weekends that is going to make the next few weekends feel extra boring, but in a good way. I feel like we squeezed half a summer into one weekend, and Mr. Flynn was so well behaved! Even without his usual morning 3 hour nap, bless us! 

On Thursday I was able to drive up to Santa Monica and have lunch with a very pregnant friend who I don't get to see as much as I would like, and she's always such an inspiration. A real take life by the horns type of gal. Well she is rocking her pregnancy, ofc. She also filled me in on her sister-in-law who was recently diagnosed with thyroid cancer, which I guess is one of the better cancers to get if you're going to get cancer, but apparently they are linking thyroid cancer to infections connected with having a root canal done. Her doctor told her that just getting the tooth pulled is better than having a full on root canal. So just something to think about there. She had surgery to remove her thyroid on one side, and will now have to take medicine for the rest of her life, but doesn't need to have chemo or radiation so that's a major plus.

That night we were invited to go help out w/ some sailing races that my good friend's pops is a part of, even Flynn got to come! I got to raise the flags and keep track of who crossed the finish line. It was seriously so much fun, Flynn loved being out on the boat and loved all the yelling and whistle blowing. We then got to have dinner right on the water at the yacht club, and it was such a treat. These people involved are just so cool. There were even a few current national champions present!



Friday C and I had our first real night away from Flynn with a real live babysitter! We got to take in an Angel's game with folks from my firm and it was tons of fun being away from babe for an evening, not gonna lie, although we both mentioned that we missed him a few times. We all had to pick a player and then based on their hits or strike outs had to cough up some dollar bills. I picked Pujols, who has a really good batting average, but he struck out all night! So I was the big payer outer :| Thanks Pujols, for nothin! Man I could never be a gambler, I HATE giving away even $10!

Saturday we rode our bikes with bestie to a beach party and even got to paddle board, I'm so buying one, I love it. Flynn had the best time exploring all the kayaks and surf boards and eating sand :| You'd think he would try it once and be over it, but no, he keeps eating it. Crazy boy. I feel like a horrible mom sometimes, I just give up and let him put his face in the sand, and I stop trying to wipe it off since he's just going to do it again 5 seconds later, so I have a dirty face little boy and im just like meh.

While we were out paddle boarding we noticed another paddle board ahead with the tiniest little person on it. She was practically falling off and as we got closer we  could hear her crying and screaming for help. I guess the current got ahold of her and was just pulling her right out. We helped her out and some other folks who had heard her also came out to help her back to shore poor thing. It was the strangest thing, her parent was the last one out there, I know kids can away from you sometimes, but c'mon, you're at the beach, you need to keep an eye on your kids at ALL times. This little girl was terrified, but phew, good thing we were all there to help her out. 

Sunday we decided to go to the beach AGAIN, because it's right there and it's the easiest thing in the world to burn all your toddlers energy. We set up an umbrella and a little tent and dug a big hole and all just chilled pretty much. I found some forgotten beach toys to add to Flynn's collection, and also a bunch of trash that I just had to clean up, ofc. I got a garbage bag from this sweet old lady who was doing the same thing! I swear, I don't understand how people cannot clean up the beach around them, we all clearly LOVE the ocean and know how bad plastic waste is for our marine friends. But so that's totally a thing I feel great about doing, my heart breaks when I read those awful stories about animals dying and being found with bellies full of plastic waste, poor things. I even had a nightmare about dying baby animals later during mine and Flynn's afternoon nap, I was rushing around trying to get them all milk and they were dying and there was so many and my heart was breaking and it was not a nice dream to have AT ALL.

We rounded out the weekend by biking to pick up some Stella's, making a Trader Joe's frozen pizza, and watching the first four episodes of True Detective. It's really cool, alot of the show is filmed here in LA so I'm recognizing TONS of places. I love that. Although it is super gritty and grimy.

So back to work for the week, I can't wait to do it all again next weekend! Or probably just one or two of the things ;)

Podcasts

Do you listen to podcasts? They were always sort of intimidating to me, or really they just seemed super boring. Like one of those activities nerds insist they love, but c'mon, we all know they are just trying to seem smarter than the rest of us non NPR listeners (another thing I used to not do but now LOVE). I grew up with my parents listening to talk radio while smoking in the car and I recall always feeling sick. Which, makes total sense, obvs. But, so, I would NEVER listen to talking in the car, (it's ALL I listen to in the car now).

I am now a podcaster. My co-worker Cindy got me hooked by suggesting this amazing podcast, Living Room. You'll relate, you'll cry, you'll ponder. So I in turn recommended it to my bestie, another never podcaster, who in turn recommended it to her co-worker, and the rest is history. 

So bestie texts me last night, "Have you heard of Serial??" Um YES! I just finished it last Thursday! Turns out me her and the other have all been listening to Serial concurrently and never mentioned it to each other! I hadn't had the chance to bring it up to her because she was on vacation for a week, and basically the same thing with her co-worker. I feel like this was such a missed opportunity! I have been talking about it non-stop to my co-worker who listened to it way back when it first came out and was just trying not to spoil anything for me. To think, we could have been discussing it THE WHOLE TIME. Ugh, I could scream.

So I really love RadioLab, Mau Mau is incredibly eye opening and tragic, Fu Go, Hello, Galapagos, Haunted, Nazi Summer Camp and Brown Box are all worth a listen. I would LOVE other recommendations, I have started a great many just to not really like the style...so PLEASE let me know your favorites!

A Movie: Whiplash


I suppose this isn't so much a review as a recommendation...but we watched Whiplash last night and oh my gosh. So. Good. Seriously the best movie I've seen in a long time.

I don't want to get into the details, I just want to tell you to watch it. I haven't seen a movie like this in years, I can't even think of anything to compare it to.

Whiplash is an intense ride with lots of highs and lows, it's one of those movies that really makes me regret I can't play an instrument, or read music for that matter. But ya, watch it. Now.

A Book: The Night Circus

I finally started this book on Friday, I am about half way through and I can't put it down. I'm reading the actual book (not on my phone) so I can only read it when my hands are baby free, or with the light on :/ This is one of those stories I can't stop thinking about. I really hope they make this into a movie, although I'm not sure who should play who yet...but if they do, I hope they do a really good job. Please.

I think the cast and setting from Penny Dreadful would maybe be kind of perfect. That show had so much potential, but it turned out pretty...well dreadful. Not by any fault of the actors, the story totally lacked any panache, going off on all these dumb tangents, never focusing on what you wanted more of...

So ya, I can't stop thinking about it, I'm at work right now, and I'm having a horrible time focusing. Maybe I'll just pull it out for a little bit...

Husband, Food, WTF

My husband is so frustrating sometimes with the way he says things! I made him breakfast in bed yesterday (scrambled eggs w/ chicken sausage, spinach and feta). "How is it?" I ask. His response, "It's pretty good." What does that even mean? I say pretty good if it's slightly better than okay, or if I expected something to be really bad, but it surprised me and is actually, "pretty good." But his 'pretty good' equates to my 'really good' most of the time, but sometimes he means it the same way I mean it. Ugh. "Well would you want me to make it for you again?" "Sure...I would eat this again."

Another thing he does, I ask, "are you hungry?" He responds, after a decent pause, with "uuum...ya I could eat." What? You're either hungry or you're not. You want to eat now, or you want to eat later. What is this, I could eat. As someone who is always in a state of, I could eat, this response makes me furious. I like us to eat at the same time so we can, well, eat at the same time. Have our meals together and what not. I would much rather have him respond with "yes, let's eat," or, "I'm not too hungry, let's wait." Or even just yes or no would be fine.

He also says he doesn't think about food that much. Who the f*&% did I marry? A cyborg? Who doesn't think about food? I am almost always thinking about food, planning my next meal, thinking of what's for dinner, am I cooking or picking up, what will the baby eat, and so on and so forth. I pay close mind to my cravings as I believe they are my body telling me what it needs. He says he never craves anything other than food, when he's hungry :|

And last but not least, the often asked, never properly answered question. "Where do you want to eat?" I'll even give him options, do you want tacos, or sushi, or pizza, or sandwiches, but his answer is always the same - "Whatever you want." No...I just gave you our choices, now you get to pick, that's how this game works. "What are you hungry for?" "I'll eat whatever." He says I shouldn't give him to many options, or any options, but sometimes I'm open to more than one thing, and I'd like him to choose. YOU KNOW?!

Butter, Broccolli, & Baby

I want to know who put butter in their coffee and realized that instead of helping them gain weight as they planned, they found they were LOSING weight. This is sort of like when my mom said that my baby was nursing non stop because there wasn't enough fat in my milks and I should be eating butter and drinking cream. Except when that happened I'm pretty sure I gained at least 5 additional pounds of post baby weight, every woman's dream. Well apparently it was some wack job named Gary Asprey. He has a blog, a book, a podcast and it's just another diet like Atkins or South Beach. But better obviously because he tells you to eat a ton of butter, grass fed butter. He must be talking about wacky tobacky, how else would he have discovered the miracle that is butter coffee. This sounds like BS, and maybe a little bit delicious. My co-worker just ordered the starter pack for her hubbie to try. Which means her. 
Coffee blended w/ coconut oil, taste just like creamer!
I've been having the strangest cravings lately, nothing crazy, just new. Like brussel sprouts, and broccoli. Last night I ate a giant bowl of steamed broccoli with parmesan cheese and pepper at like 9 p.m.! It was so good. And now I want more, but doused in butter like mom used to make.

Do you watch The Bachelor? I thought Juan Pablo's season was bad, and it was, but oh man. This one is just awful. The girls running around drunk the whole time, The Bachelor himself delivering his cheesy lines with more cheese than even he knows what to do with. And he's made out with like half of the girls already and it's only episode 3 tonight.

This past month and a half has been ca-razy. I'm sure it was for a lot of people, but man. Time flying by and all that. We went to Minnesota because it has been ages since I've had a white Christmas. Well guess what? No snow. So dumb Minnesota. Thanks for NOTHING. Except for us all getting sick that is. I was puking. Baby and husband had major sniffles, which are just now clearing up. The next journey to MN will be a warm weather one. So the very worst thing also happened in MN. The very worst thing, that's not really the very worst, but kind of. We left our camera in the center console of the rental car. We still haven't gotten a call to say they found it. Sadly I don't think we will be seeing it again :(

I've been told that as a parent I am not allowed to complain about being tired. I knew what I was signing up for, apparently. And I did, I do not deny that. I am actually a very high functioning person when tired, which almost makes it worse. Like I forget I'm tired. I finish tasks with complete confidence, tucking the file happily away, and completely forgetting everything regarding the task. That is how tired effects me. Confidence? When sleep is plentiful I lack finality upon completion of a task. I like to let the file sit on the corner of my desk for a few days in case there is any follow up, or in case I forgot to do something. Which is oft the case in my line of work. Well anyways, he seems to be starting down the path to better sleep. Now if I could just let him out of our bed and into his crib :/

Flynn will be 9 months in 6 days, and he just cut his first tooth! It's a crooked lil number on the bottom and boy is it cute. I was pointing my finger at his nose and he lifted his lil chin up and gave my finger tip a few bites until I realized he was showing me his tooth! And when I noticed boy was he ever proud! His vocabulary is growing everyday, and the other morning at 6 a.m. Carlos rolled over in bed and Flynn totally whispered da-da. We both heard it, he was looking right at his papa when he said it, but that's been it. My heart just weeps with love for this baby boy who is mine. He has such sweet temperament and is already a little jokester.  We are so blessed.

Into the Gloss Weekend Workouts

I haven't even watched episode 1, but episode 2 has new moves I haven't really seen before. Variety is the spice of life, and I've found mixing up my simple moves makes them much more effective. These workouts are also perfectly my style, short

Episode 1: modelFIT Full Body Workout


Welcome to our latest feature, the Weekend Workout—a video series aimed at keeping everyone accountable to those pesky “stay fit” resolutions. The first installment comes courtesy of modelFIT. Vanessa Packer (co-founder of modelFIT and bonberi) demonstrated modelFIT's signature small movements for us (but for you, really), in her apartment, proving that you do not need to leave your apartment to stay active. Published on Jan 10, 2015.

Episode 2: Arms For Abs  

In this week's episode of the Weekend Workout, join Karen Lord, of Karen Lord Pilates Movement, in her Arms for Abs routine. Learn how to work your arms while also using your abs, which is basically like killing two birds with one set of light hand weights. It's five minutes and the only other equipment you need is a floor. It's almost too easy. Published on Jan 17, 2015.


Episode 3, Legs for Butt
Take a break from your hand weights with Karen Lord's Legs for Butt series—a floor Pilates routine aimed at working the legs, powered by the core and glutes. It'll take 15 minutes and if you've got some nice carpeting, you don't even need a mat for this one! Remember: the burn means it's working. Published on Jan 23, 2015.

Tomato Potato

I used to work at an Italian Deli in downtown Long Beach which was frequented regularly by cops. I sometimes asked them clever questions like, fight any crime today? So clever, right?! 

Police Officer: You know those guys that sell porn on the corner?
Me: No...
Police Officer: Really? You don't ever see those guys selling porn out of a cart?
Me: No, never...
Police Officer: Well...one of those guys got shot today.
Me: Good.
Police Officer: What?! He's just trying to make a buck, poor guy. Of all the people to rob...
Me: Well I think he deserved it, selling porn on the street?!
Police Officer: Porn.
Me: Yea, that's disgusting.
Police Officer: CORN. He was selling corn.
Me: Oh...that's messed up then.

Anyways, have you ever had that corn? It is seriously AMAZING. As are most things doused in mayo and cheese powder. And easy too. All you do is roast some corn on the cob, douse it in mayo (as previously mentioned) dump a ton of that Mexican powdered cheese on it (I think it's called cojita?) (the Mexican equivalent of powdered Parmesan cheese) and finish with hot sauce or chili powder of your choice. I prefer Tapatio. Let me tell, it is to die for, but not necessarily to get shot for...


p.s. Not my photo.

Where Should We Eat?

You know who I'm talking to. Were going to have dinner this week, but where should we go? We could do Lola's, or Michael's, or Beachwood, or anywhere. Right now I'm just wanting wine, with a summer wind, and some good bread and olive oil, but I'm trying to avoid bread, so maybe Michael's is out. I wish we had that fancy salad place near by...yesterday for lunch I had the most amazing salad, and it was so simple! Fresh organic spinach, tinned smoked trout from TJ's, and pomegranate seeds. Some almonds and sprouts wouldn't have hurt. So simple. So delicious. I should have taken a pic. Darn it.

A Birthday (!!!)

It is my birthday this month, yay. I will be 32. I was always pretty chill about getting older until my pregnancy hormones decided I should now have great fear of getting older and death. Oh well, I figure it's like some survival maternal nature thing.
 31st Birthday last year @ La Creperie
I have had great birthdays the last few years. Typically involving good friends, good food, and dancing of some sort. My birthday is on Tuesday, but we went bowling last night to celebrate. I hadn't been bowling in ten years, it was great fun, the place was the opposite of crowded, and the babe did fine, so we might make it sort of a thing. Or a once in a while thing anyways. I've been forgetting to take pics lately, darn tootin. Maybe I can drag my friends out again on Tuesday so we can get another epic pic.
30th Birthday 2 years ago @ models
The horoscope below says on December 12-13, you’ll have “great fun and enjoy a touch of luxury.” Well I have my company Holiday dinner on the 12th, and am going to my old company's Holiday party on the 13th, so that sounds about right. I will take this as inspiration to work extra hard on my hobbies this month too, sow some of those future seeds mentioned. 

Love this Repell-o-scope from ManRepeller.

Sagittarius

Happy Birthday to you, sweet Sagittarius. I know the holidays can feel super annoying because you’re like, “Hey guys, I was born this month too, you know.” Well guess what, eggnog head plus Leandra? Now you can feel extra special because — according to the One and Only Susan Miller — “for the first time since 1985 to 1988, Saturn will tour Sagittarius.” Your birthday this year is practically historic! What does that mean, though?

Well, Suzanna says that whatever you accomplish with Saturn stays with you for a lifetime. Work hard now and start achieving your dreams, because you’re in the sweet spot to do so. You may pop out a baby! (Not in the “OMG WHAT IS THIS THING?” sense but like, if you’ve been trying, it could happen now, and babies DEFINITELY stay with you a lifetime.) Or, you might do a lot of other cool stuff like become an astronaut or a human bagel. Saturn pushes you hard, and you may not actually see the benefits until 2017. This is sort of confusing because I think kids are less cute at age 2 than they are as hot-potatoes, but when it’s your own kid you’re probably way more excited about a baby that can run around than one who makes you hold his head up all the time. Babies are divas, huh?

And if you’re not into all this baby talk, Susan basically says this whole month’s going to be awesome and that on December 12-13, you’ll have “great fun and enjoy a touch of luxury.” Sounds like caviar and cheese sticks to me!

NPR's Book Concierge: Guide to the Best Reads of 2014: Kid Picks

NPR has posted their best books list for 2014!  and it's kind of amaze...just go look, it's truly beautiful. You can use the filters on the left to narrow down the 250 results nicely. My interest is piqued for many. I need to check out past years, I am always looking for my next great read! (NPR's Book Concierge)

These kids books sure look fun, some of them look smart, and some of them look real interesting. Flynn and I have been going to the museum a bunch so I love anything that further encourages his appreciation of art.

*These descriptions are not my own.

Ah-Ha To Zig-Zag: 31 Objects from Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum
By Maira Kalman
Maira Kalman's whimsical, sublimely silly alphabet book celebrates the newly renovated Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum by featuring 31 of her favorite objects from the collection — a quirky companion volume to My Favorite Things, her selection for adults. Flagged items include a medieval Egyptian cap and a 19th century English glazed earthenware poodle. Just don't look for the dog under D or P. Nope, you'll find it under E — for "the cutest dog on Earth…(Except for your dog)," with all the e's printed in red. And don't look for the letter O in its usual place because — "Oops! We left out O. Oh well. We all make mistakes." Expect giggles. — recommended by Heller McAlpin, book critic




The Odd One Out
By Britta Teckentrup
This wonderful children's book is full of challenges to find the "odd one out" — the one penguin sheltering a fledgling, the scared tortoise who has hidden his head, the bird who caught the worm. Reading the story and finding all the odd animals could take quite a while, but the illustrations are so beautiful you won't mind taking your time with each page. (For ages 2 to 5) — recommended by Sarah Handel, Weekend Edition staff






Thank You, Octopus
By Darren Farrell
Thank You, Octopus is a wonderfully wacky tale about a mischievous octopus helping his charge get ready for bed. When the boy grumbles, the octopus tries to tempt him with a warm bath. "Thank you, Octopus," the boy says — until he realizes the bath tub is full of egg salad: "Gross! No thank you, Octopus." It has some of the same naughty, talk-back-to-the-book fun of Don't Let The Pigeons Drive the Bus! another modern-day toddler classic, and it's funny enough for adults to enjoy rereading again and again. The illustrations are insanely detailed and I especially appreciated the New York Harbor setting. (For ages 3 to 5) — recommended by Anya Kamenetz, blogger, NPR Ed

Gaston
By Kelly DiPucchio and Christian Robinson
Three things happened to me when I read this enchanting picture book about a mixed-up French bulldog raised by a family of prim, proper French poodles: First, I wanted to crumple up the whole world and commission a new one painted by Christian Robinson. Second, I wanted a French bulldog even more than usual, which is saying something, because I already dream of owning one with an intensity usually reserved for diamonds or beachfront property. And third, I wanted to hug the book to my heart and never, ever let it go. I've only done the third — for now. (For ages 4 to 8) — recommended by Margaret Willison, librarian and book critic

Hooray For Hat!
By Brian Won
Hooray for Hat! is practically the Platonic ideal of a picture book. It uses simple, repetitive language to tell a simple story with a simple message: Bringing happiness to others makes you happy, too. Elephant wakes up GRUMPY — until he finds an amazing hat on his doorstep! But can his hat delight his grumpy friends, too? Where a lesser writer might preach, Brian Won manages to simply delight with his elegant story and bright illustrations. On top of that, the book's many characters and repeated lines invite both (1) the use of funny voices and (2) the shouting-along of familiar phrases; i.e., the two BEST THINGS to include in a read-aloud. (For ages 4 to 8) — recommended by Margaret Willison, librarian and book critic


Draw!
By Raúl Colón
The conceit of this beautiful, wordless picture book is simple — a little boy is drawing in his bedroom and imagines himself on safari, interacting with the animals he has only seen in books. The way Colón captures how it feels to be engulfed and transported by your artistic endeavor, the way he evokes the perfect endlessness of solitary afternoons spent working hard on what you love best — that's anything but simple. His warm-toned, dreamy illustrations invite you into the story, and the special details — like who the protagonist shares his sandwiches with — reward repeated readings. (For ages 4 to 8) — recommended by Margaret Willison, librarian and book critic

Quest
By Aaron Becker
I am almost loath to tell anyone about this magic book. If too many people notice it, Hollywood is bound to come knocking and turn this transporting, elegant story — a wordless picture book that's Harold and the Purple Crayon raised to the power of The Lord of the Rings — into something airless, bombastic and murderously trite. But to read this book once is to want to personally distribute one to every bored kid you've ever seen, Hollywood be damned. "Here," you'd say. "Flip through right now and spend the rest of your day trying to climb right into the pages. I'll wait." (For ages 4 to 8) — recommended by Margaret Willison, librarian and book critic

Josephine: The Dazzling Life of Josephine Baker
By Patricia Hruby Powell and Christian Robinson
It would be nearly impossible to write a bad biography of Josephine Baker, civil rights activist and superstar. Glamorous dancer, spy, sparkplug and owner of a pet leopard named Chiquita — not even the driest prose could make these facts seem dull. But to create words and pictures that match her electric crackle — that's a challenge. Patricia Hruby Powell's vivid, rhythmic poetry and Christian Robinson's arrestingly bold acrylic paintings accomplish something special by simply doing justice to Baker's remarkable journey from segregated St. Louis to performing in Paris. Your kids will be dancing around in banana skirts after reading this one. (For ages 7 to 10) — recommended by Margaret Willison, librarian and book critic

The Night Gardener
By Jonathan Auxier
When Irish orphans Molly and her little brother, Kip, find employment at a rundown English manor house in the desolate countryside, something, or someone, is set on destroying them. As servants to a once-rich family, the siblings are struggling to survive but hindered by a mysterious giant tree that encroaches on the house and into the lives of its inhabitants. Molly's dreams and heart's desire soon turn to horror as she must engage her bravery, wit and storytelling prowess to battle an evil ghostly presence. This totally absorbing tale reads like a classic and is not to be missed. (For ages 10 and up) — recommended by Lisa Yee, author, most recently of Warp Speed

A Movie: Her

We watched the movie 'Her' last week, I know it has been out for a while but I've been kind of reluctant to watch it in the first place. I mean, it's weird, right?
It was actually very insightful, I liked the range it showed with how we relate to one another, how we interact with others, how we keep ourselves separate...
My husband described it as a, "psychological thriller about love." He said it was emotionally riveting, and an interesting new look into the human psyche. I mostly agree with all of those things. My co-worker described it as a thought provoking love story; what are the implications of falling in love with something not human? It is really very scary to think about.
There are a lot of layers in this movie. It is thought provoking. It makes you look at yourself. It is interesting. More than this post about it anyways. I keep thinking about it. I am actually really surprised by how much I liked this movie, and I recommend it to everyone. You should watch it if you haven't already.
