amazing grace


so, i'm a little behind the times. but last night, i finally got a chance to see amazing grace.

then, when i went to bed i had a strange dream in which i was supposed to tell everyone about it! and the silly part is, i cannot remember what i was supposed to say! arrrrghhhh. i wish i could remember more, i really do. i know it had something to do with the TRUTH being true, even when we cannot see it at the time. through the whole movie, i was thinking about how abolishing the slave trade was so much like trying to ban abortion, the thing we are facing now in our country (the "politically incorrect" thing). doh. silly brain :)

anyway, it's a good flick if you have not seen it yet. i like british period films anyway, because they usually have a bit of humor. i guess i just like dry humor. although i usually am a bit more blatant when i try to be funny :)

the next film which is supposed to have some subtle references to the abortion issue is "horton hears a who" which of course has the famous "a person is a person no matter how small" line. perhaps my dream about it will be a little more clear!

Yes, Ms. Super Series Watcher, but is Phil 25 pages into a 30 page thesis???

no. he is 1 1/2 months into a 7 day a week job though. kind of explains why we only have energy left to watch tv at night :)

thesis = yucky. they are only good when they are DONE :)

AMEN. I have started calling the laptop his girlfriend, because he spends so much time with the stupid thing. He will turn in his 1st draft before we leave this weekend, so I get a whole week without HER.

I have a seven day-a-week job, too!
