a nest of snakes

The kidlet has developed some new moves recently which feel like a bunch of snakes roiling around in my belly. Last night it was so bad that I couldn't sleep, so I got up and spent a couple hours shopping for diapers online. At other times, it feels like 2 squirrels chasing each other around a tree. I don't particularly enjoy these feelings, though I can manage the kicks ok.

movie reviews to save you 4 hours of time

Skip:
Flags of our Fathers - seriously short on plot. Ok, we get it - you don't think you were heros & you don't want to be paraded around. Intersperse that with lots of battle scenes. But it really doesn't need to be so long. We gave up & went to bed.

Borat - wait, people thought this was funny? As soon as it ended, we switched to South Park & laughed more in the first 30 seconds than we did during the entire movie.

Meh:
The Departed - I have absolutely no idea why this won an Oscar. Really. It was ok, but not something I'm going to recommend.

Ok:
The Illusionist - much better than the others, but not one I'm going to see again.
