Ouch! Now, wait just a minute before you dismiss me as a hopeless kook, Little Sis. Little Miss Sunshine wasn't terrible; I probably would've enjoyed watching it with you. (Little Olive even kind of reminded me of you at a certain age!) But I was disappointed after all the crazy hype and runaway success of the movie that it wasn't all that. It just wasn't a very original family road movie. Like, National Lampoon's Vacation recycled with elements of other stuff I like better. Hey! You tricked me into commenting on the wrong post, damn it... Anyway, I take issue with your use of the descriptor "obscure." Cat Ballou and Blazing Saddles are very well known in some circles, young lady! Just 'cause they were made before you were born... sheesh! And yes, I too look forward to seeing you soon and harassing you in person. Headache? Ouch!

I realized I hadn't checked pedsaga in awhile, and now that I've caught up I must admit to having a headache and a combined feeling of bewilderment, awe (for you), and once again disappointment (for the fact that yet another movie that I THOUGHT we both might enjoy didn't work. Come on, sis, Little Miss Sunshine was great!!) I must say that I haven't a clue what have of your last few posts said, but I can say that I'm delighted that you enjoy your obscure movies and word geekiness. Since if I were actually still blogging (slacker...) mine would be filled with some serious science teacher geekiness from this past week! To each his or her own! :-) Right now, I am sitting here watching our yard flood (seriously, the ditch has spilled over the driveway and road) and not wanting to do housework, and looking very much forward to seeing you SOON!!
