Triple Witching

According to the NY Times, Michelangelo Antonioni, the Italian director whose chilly canticles of alienation were cornerstones of international filmmaking in the 1960s, inspiring intense measures of admiration, denunciation and confusion, died on Monday at his home in Rome, Italian news media reported today. He was 94. He died on the same day as Ingmar Bergman, the Swedish filmmaker who died at his home in Sweden earlier Monday.

If I were Scorsese, I'd be a little scared today.  Then again, he's not a European and his edge is closer to the middle.  OK, he's 30 years younger.  Rest easy, Martin!

The Capitalist Uterus

This is something I came across from a personal coach:

I have a special announcement...I'm expecting another baby:)! We have a little boy on the way who is due in November. Being that I work alone and often never get to meet clients in person, you would never know that I have this growing belly getting in my way:). But I wanted to share the good news and also let you know that starting in September I will not being taking on any new personal clients until the new year.

If you've been thinking you'd like to work together there are options for you:

1. I can take on one more client starting in August.

Is she using the upcoming baby as a marketing device?

Rosey's Got a Baby

Rosey is happy to have the kitties, overall.  She'd be tons happier if they played with her more.  Tallulah and Bob are built-in playmates.  They are the same size, can fit in the same corners of their rooms and can get under the bed quickly and easily.  Rosey is and can do none of these things.

She has found a way into their life.  The pictures are care of Pkin.  I'm wondering if this is a good thing.  I don't know enough about animal psychology, or physiology for that fact.  Rosey seems to enjoy it and so does Tallulah. 

Tallulah began her life in our house as the rambunctious one.  She was the first to leave the box, the first to climb all over the sofa.  Bob has now become the "first" one except for the nursing.  Tallulah is more skittish actually.  I guess she just needs a little more care.  Good thing Rosey is around.  Bob's having none of it, by the way.

Woe is Me: Say a Prayer for the Big Girl, She Needs It!

As if life isn't hard enough for chubby girls!

That obesity impairs health is well-established. Crosnoe's study takes a different tack by highlighting the psychosocial disadvantages of being young and overweight. He says that if the general public discussion about obesity seems "overblown," then perhaps a shift in focus to how obesity can affect education, the future workforce and economic inequality, will allow health and educational professionals and the public a new approach to a discussion of the disease. Crosnoe's upcoming book Fitting In, Standing Out will focus on the effects of social marginalization on education.

Harry's Adventure Continues

Though I have read the book once through, I'm going back to re-read parts that were fuzzy, good, and necessary to understand better the fuzzy and good parts.  This will be a month long process, at least.

I found a great site for exploration, BEWARE, there are spoilers in abundance.

Meltdown of the Post-Teen Drama Queens

While Harry, Hermione and Ron are dueling with dementors and more, Hollywood's loud mouthed, marginally talented drama queens are growing into alcoholic, drug binging crazies.  I think Liz Taylor waited until her 30's or 40's.  Britney and Lindsey (who named these girls? Oh, their silly Moms!  I'm seeing a pattern here.) are going through mid-life crises just out of their teens.

Better than Starbucks!

I Read It All

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is another book on my shelf.  Yes, it was worth the wait.  I did find out what happened to whom and why.  You could definitely tell that Ron, Hermione and Harry and everyone else had grown up.  But something was missing and it wasn't Dumbledore. 

I know I can't say anymore here I can hardly wait for my friends to finish the book so we can compare notes and thoughts. 

Did you know that, according to the AP:

Two guys named Chuck and Larry edged out a teenager named Harry at the weekend box office.

Adam Sandler and Kevin James' comedy "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry" overcame bad reviews to debut ahead of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," according to studio estimates Sunday. But they were close enough that there was a slight chance rankings could change when final weekend figures come out Monday.

Universal reported that "Chuck & Larry" took in $34.8 million, while Warner Bros. reported "Order of the Phoenix" at $32.2 million. Other studios were tracking "Chuck & Larry" in the $33 million range, which could make the No. 1 movie too close to call.

It's scary than Voldemort!

Travelling Harry

At Noon it said:

07/20/2007   8:27 A.M. DESTINATION SCAN
07/20/2007   5:30 A.M. DESTINATION SCAN

Right now it says:

07/20/2007   8:27 A.M. DESTINATION SCAN
07/20/2007   7:14 A.M. IN TRANSIT TO FINAL DESTINATION
07/20/2007   5:30 A.M. DESTINATION SCAN

Maybe it got to it's destination twice so then it needed to be told that it was still in transit.  I only wish I were home to hear the UPS truck driving up the street.  Oh, and that it were Saturday.
