Bridget

I accidentally watched a film called "Bridget" (imdb link) this afternoon (Tobias was sleeping in my lap). It is said to be about "a desperate young woman who is struggling to get her son back from foster care". But in reality it is a desperate old man's (the director that is) attempt to make an artsy film with his favorite actress where he gets to film as much naked skin as possible without getting it resulting film labeled as porn. *sigh* I could've bought the concept hadn't it been for the fact that I was informed the story was about a 'young woman'. The leading actress was 48 when she portrayed this young woman. I didn't mind the relationship between her and the slightly retarded son of an author she was marrying to get the money needed to buy back her own child, it was in reality the only thing which kept me watching most of the movie. However there were too many scenes which didn't make sense and the story wasn't very tight.

So with the sketchy acting and the nakedness which made it a sordid affair all in all I can not recommend this movie to anyone.

Tonight we will watch the rest of "Big Fish" (imdb link) a much more pleasant acquaintance we made last night (had to break to put Tobias to bed).

Seigmenn

These must be the bestest candy to ever come out of Norway... :-D

S' mum thankfully brought a couple of bags of Norwegian candy with her when she came to see us this cold Easter weekend (if she hadn't we wouldn't have had anything to give to the two small easter witches which came knocking on our door). :-) Anyway, my all time Norwegian favorite candy must be these - Laban seigmenn and seig ladies and other varieties which make it out of that factory (that is "jellymen", "jelly ladies" and more).

Arrgh! Now that I surfed the net to find Nidar's website I realise the bestest Norwegian candy is Troika and no other... X-) (how could I forget?) Three layers - dark chocolate truffels, cherry jelly and marzipan covered in dark cocolate, yum! :-)
Perhaps I can have categories of favorites? Jelly candy being one and chocolate candy being another?

Med sine tre lag av trøffel, marsipan og gelé, er sjokoladen Troika en typisk nytelsessjokolade. Denne godbiten spises gjerne fra dypet av sofaen, på mange forskjellige måter.

That's why he's the one

It's the little things he does. Like the plate of sandwiches he prepared for my breakfast the other day (above). And the heart he had created with a red wool blanket on our bed when I had been away for a while (below).


It's the little things and the big things he does. It's because he is the man he is that I love him. :-)

Robin Thicke - and World of Warcraft

He he, just found a perfect soundtrack to play Warcraft to at this ungodly hour Robin Thicke's "The Evolution of Robin Thicke". My sister tipped me off on this young man quite some time ago and I promptly went out and got it but I never got around to actually listen to it. :-) Now I'm happy I picked it for tonight's random playlist. :-) Easy on the ear and a mood-pick-me-up. :-)

Now back to hunting Rot Hides for their Rot Hide Ichor on Fenris Isle, one more to go then it's time to hit the sack. :-)

Curled

On an impulse I added rollers to my hair when we came back from today's visit to the pool (baby swimming lesson) and by the time it was time to go to the evening's birthday party I had lots of manageable curls in my hair. :-D

Despite the somewhat "American housewife" style of styling (according to S) it's the first time in a long long while I have left my hair hanging loose and liking it. :-) Have to save some money for a perm later this year. :-)

Films I'd like to watch right now

As I don't seem to find it in me to sit down and watch a movie instead of playing computer games I thought I'd list a few of the ones I really feel like watching here...

Juno - imdb link (just seems like such a feel-good movie!) "A comedy about growing up... and the bumps along the way".

No country for old men - imdb link "There Are No Clean Getaways"

Drillbit Taylor - imdb link "You get what you pay for"

There is naturally a list as long as my arm with other films I really want to watch, but these just caught my attention (on the internet) tonight. :-)
