C.S. Lewish quote of the day

"Certain things, if not seen as lovely or detestable, are not being correctly seen at all."

My Mom

On Sunday morning I went over to my parent's house to help out and organize some of my Mom's cupboards (one of my Operation: Raise $$ for Taxes jobs that has come up)
So as I was figuring out which of the Jell-o molds to keep from my grandma's 60's Tupperware collection, my mom says to me "Amber, I would have let you borrow my DVD player"
huh?
"uh... what are you talking about?"
"You said you couldn't watch a DVD on your TV because it wasn't working."
"uh... what?"
"Amber. I read your blog."
I'm so glad Amy (my cousin) was standing there to witness this because I NEVER thought I would hear these words come out of my mothers mouth.

So Ladies, and Gentelman (all 9 of you) I would like to welcome to my blog my newest reader: My MOM!!!

Mom: this now officially makes you cool :) Love you!

yet again... nothing to do...

ok, so tomorrow afternoon, thursday afternoon and ALL DAY FRIDAY I will be the switchboard operator at my lovely workplace.
this means that aside from waiting for the phone to ring, I won't be doing much of anything, especially since it's spring break and it's like a ghost town on campus!

Last time I operated the switchboard I was able to catch up on LOST, but now i'm not sure what to do! I don't have any tv-on-dvd I'm dying to see and I don't have tons of movies I want to watch ALL DAY.....
any suggestions?

sad...

someone made a joke today referencing a "flux capacitor" and I had to ask what that meant..... I missed out on a lot in the 80's- I have a lot of catching up to do!

The Namesake

Favorite movie quote from "The Namesake" (2006)

(after Gogol discovers that his wife, Moushumi, has been having an affair with a frenchman)

Moushumi: Maybe it's not enough that we're both Bengali.
Gogol: That's not why I love you.

Excellent movie. A little slow at times, but the cinematography is fabulous, the plotline is gut-wrenchingly honest and true to life...
Go watch it.
