Nick has started saying "I love you." Of course he "LUBS" everything.  "Dinner?  I LUUUUB dinner!" William finally loves music and dancing.  He used to make me stop singing, now he'll sing with me.  He'll sing parts of Twinkle Twinkle, Poop Goes in the Potty (yeah, thanks, Statia), Put on Your S...

Wonder Woman (2009 - Blu-ray) The Story: Pretty good. Exactly what I was expecting. Not as focussed, structurally sound or iconic as i'd hoped but completely serviceable.

TO MY BIG BROTHER GEORGE, THE RICHEST MAN IN TOWN. Okay, I guess you’re wondering why I am writing about a 62 year old Christmas movie. Well, to put it quite simply, this is the best movie ever made. I don’t want to hear your bitching and whining. You can disagree with me all that you wa...
