The Chronic—What?!—cles of Narnia!
When I was a kid, I loved The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It had battles and talking animals and witches and ice and everything else that was awesome, including a whole other world inside of a closet (which is an avenue of symbolism more interesting to me than the whole crucifixion theme that the movie jammed down my throat yesterday. Perhaps I am growing weary of Biblical symbolism. Perhaps I am growing weary of symbolism in general. Can I just hear a good story, people, please?).
On a (somewhat) related note, the next time I have a lazy Sunday, I’m also going to make a short film/music video about how lazy Said Sunday is, instead of just sitting around being lazy. This is because
A. I’m sick of being lazy
B. I hear that the short film is making a comeback
C. It looks like a ton of fun and I’m into the whole fun thing

i just reread the first two books over christmas. and was expecting to be bugged by the BIBLE crap but found it was not as present as my adult mind thought it would be. so maybe they overdid it in the movie? my mom, however, thought the movie caught the "mood" of the books just right. ?? tilda swinton creeps me out so i guess while that means she would be doing the right thing in her role it also means i don't feel the need to rush to the theater for that one.

I think it would behoove you to consult an expert on lazy Sundays, which I would be happy to do at no cost to you, except you might have to leave the house to come to my house where I am being too lazy to go to your house, thus making your lazy Sunday a little less lazy but proving that I am really the expert, and the winner of Sunday laziness.

I got a video camera for Christmas, from my AWESOME MOM, and I had wanted it really really bad.
But now I don't know what the hell to do with it. I walk around the house taking stray footage of my family. I have fifteen minutes of footage of my 10 1/2 year old daughter giving me disgusted and snooty looks, and another fifteen minutes of my 8 year old son jumping in front of whatever it is I might be trying to film, his arms outstretched, saying "Me! Me! Look at me!" And I also have about two hours of footage of my husband behaving badly when drunk, which could actually make a helluva short movie. I don't know how to edit anything either.
Argh.
