I joined Blogger about a year ago. It seems like I've been posting entries forever.
Watching the movie "Julie and Julia" last night, I wonder what I was doing seven years ago, when so many already were into Blogger. I had not heard of salon.com, but it's out there, and full of the latest content.
The setting for the movie script could have been yesterday. The dialogue about who writes and reads blogs hasn't changed. The terrorists, the targets, the grieving, and the frightened are the same as in 2002. The oppressors are the same as the Joseph McCarthy death squads of the 50's.
Food! What a contrast in movies, between "Julie and Julia", and "Cloudy, with a Chance of Meatballs", which we watched the night before. That one could give you nightmares. And then, there was the restaurant scene from Monty Python's "the Meaning of Life", which I vowed never to watch again, but there it was in the "Monty Python Documentary II" we watched last Tuesday.
Was there anything to watch on TV this month? We've gone through more Netflix movies this month than we had in the previous six months. There was no lack of in-person social networking with various family and community Christmas celebrations.

Hey stranger! From the days of "23 things".....
In reply to your question about anything to watch on TV: NO!! We, by chance, caught "Charlie Brown Christmas" but other than that, we are making great use of Netflix too. You would think the TV execs would get a clue. Hope you had a good Christmas - Happy New Year!

My favorite restaurant scene of all time is the one from "When Harry met Sally", especially the scene at Katz's Deli, ending with the line by Rob Reiner's mother, "I'll have what she's having":

My husband and I were just discussing our inability to find anything to watch on TV. We've probably watched more old movies in the last month than in the previous year. Julie and Julia is on our soon to see list as Santa put it in my stocking.
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
Liked the movie - Meryl Streep was very funny. Read the book about a year ago. I think cooking some of those dishes - Marrow from bones would be enough to turn you into a vegetarian. But the desserts were great!
