Bill Murray

We like Bill Murray.

We recently watched Rushmore, which I’d give an A-. Joanna liked it “a whole lot” as well. Ben should enjoy it, if he hasn’t already seen it.

Next we watched Ed Wood, which wasn’t really a Bill Murray film (he only had a small part), and wasn’t that good. considering that it’s the story of the worst film director of all time, I’m not sure how good it could have been, anyway.

We also watched Broken Flowers, which wasn’t in any way bad. But I was expecting really good. And it just wan’t really good. It’s done by the same dude who made Coffee and Cigarettes which helped explain things a bit. I do like the generally unresolved note of the movie. It has a tendancy to come off as just a slight pompous, which is not a good thing for a movie insisting that it’s ordinary. I’m not sure anyone who reads this would like it, but maybe.

Ghostbusters is coming up next because Jonah’s never seen it. Her parents were afraid that if she saw it, she’d wind up marrying a non-christian. As a result, she’s almost 32 years old and is culturally deficient.

Chocolate Chippers

I made lasagna Sunday. Berck helped by making his famous tomato sauce. I used all three of the eggs left in the carton to make the pasta. I like playing with the KitchenAid pasta maker. It’s like playing with an electric Fuzzy Pumper Barber Shop.

Then I wanted to make cookies, but we were out of eggs. So I used mayonnaise instead and left out the salt. They ended up being a different texture, very crumbly instead of chewy.

Berck refuses to eat them. He insist they taste like mayonnaise, but I think that’s only because he saw me put it in the batter. I think they’re yummy.
