Culture: June 2002 Archives

Friday night Jen, Lindsay and I went to see Lilo and Stitch… this is the best movie to come out of Disney in years. We were practically falling out of our chairs for the first half of the movie. Definitely a "buy".
If you still need some yuks after seeing L&S, head to Barnes and Noble and hunt down a book called I am Puppy, Hear Me Yap. Cute and amusing at the same time. The picture of the Aussie puppy (somewhere around 2 or 3 from the last picture in the book) looks very much like Cindy did when she was a puppy.
Then, Jenny, Lindsay, my Grandma Phyllis and I all took a day trip to see New Harmony on Saturday. It was a bit of a drive (2 hours or so each way), but well worth it -- it's a very interesting ex-utopian community, primarily active between the early 1800s and the Civil War. If you're into history definitely a place to check out.
Finally, Conner, Lindsay, Jen and I played roller hockey this morning for a few hours. It's been a long time since any of us played (and it was Lindsay's first time), but we had a lot of fun for all that. Great weekend, even if it did involve 16 hours or so in the car. :-P

Songs: I really like Counting Crows' new single (American Girls). Catchy. Scanning the lyrics from the rest of the CD it looks like this one will be a must-have. If only I didn't actually feel guilty about buying CDs and thus supporting the RIAA…
Bleats: I really like James Lilek's Bleats blog. He's fun to read, and Gnat sounds adorable. Jenny will cite this link as merely one more piece of evidence pointing to me wanting kids; I will then note that as much fun as it is to have a dog who urps if I take corners too sharply, I'm not really eager to add a small child to the circus yet. But I do like reading about them. ;)
