Kids, I need your help

I saw this movie, long ago, and I cannot remember what it was called.

It was on a ship? or a submarine? and the two ships/submarines were fighting against each other but then they all got sick so they banded together and housed the sick people on their ships/submarines. One of them was probably a German shipmarine.

This movie was probably a terrible movie. Every time I watch a submarine movie, I want to watch this mystery one.

Children, what is this movie?

I do not remember who is in it. Probably some men.

It is not U571. They just get blown up and the one guy drowns.

The Way We Were and Holiday Inn

I finally got to watch the end of The Way We Were. I watched part of it before we went to France but Nick and I had to leave for some reason so I never saw the end of it. Well. It suffered from Roman Holiday syndrome in that spoiler alert the main characters don't get together and I end up being upset with my ovaries in overdrive.

Then today I watched (my favorite holiday movie) Holiday Inn. Every single time I watch that movie I forget how racist it is. Blackface? Check. Minstrel show? Check. African American cook with terrible racist lines and a racist role? Check. Besides Lincoln's birthday, it's great! And it's good to see where the song White Christmas came from too. And Bing Crosby? Sigh...that man and Irving Berlin will always have my heart.

And that was my weekend.

Oh and remember how our car only had two doors that would open from the outside? Well after work on Friday those two doors were frozen shut. I tried for half an hour to get into the car before my boss' boss came by and I asked him for help. He got me into the car but he broke one of the handles. So now we have one door that opens from the outside. He felt awful about it. I told him it was just a door handle. He's probably going to offer to pay for it tomorrow but he was just trying to help. There's no way I can take his money.

And our cats still have fleas.

I was going to write this great story about how, while watching The Way We Were, Nick had a great observation about handsome movie stars (past and present) looking alike but apparently this isn't a new conclusion.

Here it is anyway:

Robert Redford and Brad Pitt look exactly the same. Especially when RR smiles.

The end.

P.S. Toi noted that the level I was stuck on was the last level of the best timesuck ever so I decided to savor it until I can convince myself that there will be awesome games after this one. Sigh.

P.P.S. Even though I am a big fan of peace etc, I cannot resist a man in uniform.

I'm watching Justice for Annie. I hope I see her mom get Justice this time.


I am so excited for Thanksgiving tomorrow. The food, pies, food, family, food. And I will finally be able to listen to Christmas music without getting lectured by Katti the grouch. I'm making hot brandy apple cinder for tomorrow. I'm excited for it. Katti made it a year ago and it was so good.

Our Thanksgiving plans: We're going up to Nick and Katti's parents' first tomorrow. We're eating at 1 there then going to my parents' after dropping Katti and Oliver off at Oliver's brother's house. His brother lives a street down from my parents' house. Then we're lying around and not doing anything for the rest of the week.


Oliver got a call from Comcast and he has an interview next week. .الحمد لله They gave him shift times already too and Nick thinks it's in the bag. I hope so.


It's hard to split all of these holidays between our two families. I told Nick we can swap holidays (my family one year, his the next) but it's hard.

Nick put some of our Christmas lights up on Sunday. Yay! I'm going to start listening to my Christmas albums and Katti can't stop me. I get to wear my Christmas earrings soon too.
