Movies are wonderful things.

I was going to go to the car thing yesterday, but Ross talked me out of it. Later that night, Ross and I rented and watched Raising Helen and Hidalgo. I enjoyed both of them. Sadly, Ross didn't make it through the last one.

This afternoon the phone rang and it was Lyne, but it took me a minute to realize who it was even after she said her name. I guess I was in a kind of trance. Apparently someone called for my mom that morning too and I answered and talked but then when they called back that evening I had no recollection of the precious phone call. Ah, oh well. Anyway, I had lunch with Lyne and that was nice. We ate at American Pie, where Lyne is apparently a regular, and the food wasn't bad.

A couple nice little quotes from Raising Helen:
-------
Jenny: I think this is lead paint, kids don't chew the windowsill!
Helen: Yeah, stick to the table legs like I taught you.
-------
Jenny: (as she knits on the couch) You know, a lot of celebrities are knitting now.
Jenny: (later, as Jaguar drives into their driveway) Who do we know that owns a Jaguar?
Jenny's Husband: Maybe it's a celebrity coming to knit with you.
