Well I know that I rarely post to the ole blog any more, but I am re-building the computer and I figured I would use my blogging app before possibly not being able to use it. Wow that sentence made no sense.
In Crabby news, we are pregnant with our second child. Just as a testament to how little I am blogging these days, we have been so for over 6 months and we are having a little girl. We are really excited and the boy is pretty excited about having a little sister. In fact, the room is painted up and almost ready to go. Oh boy to get on that roller coaster again.
The boy is recently potty trained as well which is pretty amazing to think about. It has taken a fair amount of time and he is still pretty hesistant about going poo-poo in the potty, but overall he is completely out of diapers and making it through the night without wetting which is incredibly awesome. Lets all just hope that he can keep it up after the girl makes her grand entrance.
On the movie front, I have seen a ton of good movies lately. It has been a combo of movies seen over the holidays and some great Netflixers. So here are my thoughts in two sentences each. Juno was a fantastic indie-esque flick with great dialog (though a bit too we-are-too-cool-to-explain-the-expressions-we-are-using in some parts) and a real heart in it. It really struck close to home on the pregnancy side and other aspects of our life recently (8.5 out of 10). No Country for Old Men was fantastic as well with really good acting, great characters and dialog that is GREAT as in most Coen brother movies. Was my favorite movie of 2007 till I saw the next movie (8.5 out of 10). The Kingdom is a really interesting movie as it really gives a glimpse of the intersection of politics, oil and fundamentalism in Saudia Arabia. The last 30 minutes are perhas the most intense of any recent movie, and yet the director, Peter Berg, manages not to lose the individuals in the story (9 out of 10). Nativity Story was a flick that we wanted to catch over Christmas, but didn't manage to. It has GREAT production values, GREAT acting and really drove home how much Christ loves his own in coming as he did. It really put more humanity arounnd Mary, Joseph and everyone involved, and was a buyer of a movie even with Netflix.
Alright...well, maybe I'll get back into this when the new PC is up. That and blogging for another friend on general church / "modern" Christianity issues. That and update links and whatnot on the blog (been over a year a half since the wife kicked my addiction to World of Warcraft).
