Reports from the mushy brain (3,000th post!)

-Does this movie look amazing, or am I missing something?

-Today I rediscovered how delicious hot dogs can be. Yum! This can't be good.

-I also rediscovered that the Astor Place Starbucks is not the most uplifting place ever, although it's certainly cleaner than I pictured it. (Low expectations.) Returning to Anna Karenina (vacation reading put aside during height of head-cold brain-mush period) works better when not overhearing women who look like a certain coffee-selling Wasillan, but far more makeup and hand-tatooage, discussing the difficulties of getting one's self, one's husband, one's baby-daddy, and one's baby through heroin detox. Levin's agricultural pursuits did not stand a chance.

  1. What's the difference between Despereaux and Ratatouille? Aren't they both rodents falling into French soup?

  2. Despereaux sounds like the perfect movie to see by myself on a random afternoon when I abscond from research work and buy myself a movie ticket and an ice cream cone. M

    Or, possibly, a date movie. I am often surprised by my boyfriend's willingness to indulge in whimsy with me, which apparently includes cartoons. We rarely see downers together, because couple time is precious and I cry at the drop of a wee mouse hat. And yet I totally want to see Benjamin Button, if for no other reason than this other loves-to-feel-the-emo girl said that she sobbed continuously throughout it.

  3. Dana,

    Both your suggestions sound excellent. Surprisingly, I already have some takers. Or maybe not surprisingly. That computer-generated mouse is cute! Such big ears! What's really surprising is that I've had mouse problems a couple places I've lived, and I still think this.
