Winter Time

Well, we got our first snow and it is not even Winte yet (officially). Last Monday and Tuesday we had some snow fall and some of it even stuck on the ground. So Karina took Matthew outside for his first interaction with snow. He likes wearing all of his snow clothes, but he is still pretty cautious of snow itself. You can see from the pictures, though, that the snow was still falling while he was outside, and he spent some time trying to catch it on his tongue.
We also went through the major transition of moving Matthew from the crib to his big boy bed. Okay, so it turned out to be barely a transition at all because he loves it and he doesn't get out of it. It's pretty fun to see him laying in an actual bed.


So, in sports news: I don't know if anyone heard, but, if you didn't, UCLA beat USC!!! I heard someone today say that USC blew it against UCLA. I'm afraid this was simply not the case. It is true that USC blew it when they lost to Oregon State. They got way behind in that game, came raging back, and had they had two more minutes, instead of losing by 2 they would have won by 28. Again UCLA, the Trojans had chances at the end. They had time. They were held to 9 points in the entire game. USC did not blow it. UCLA beat them. Wooo hooo!!!

So, I finally got to see the much-anticipated (at least by me) Deja Vu last Friday night. And guess what? I didn't like it. I was so let down. The director made Spy Game, one of my all-time favorite movies, and the movie starred Denzel Washington, the greatest actor of all time. Here are the problems (I won't completely spoil it, but I will a bit). First of all, movies need to be careful when they take a mid-movie leap from being a thriller/mystery to being a SciFi movie. That was tough. But even moving beyond that, it was inconsistent with the space/time continuum. I am no talking about ultra-nerd stuff here. I am just talking about consistency. If a person looks back into the past and it becomes clear that he has already been somewhere (as in, it is clear that he will go back and change something), then it makes no sense for him, when he actually does go back, to change things. If you have seen the movie, what I am saying should be more clear. Anyway, kind of a letdown. The action was decent, but the plot didn't work. Too bad, had potential.

Time to go eat lunch.
