QUOTE OF THE NOW

"Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That's why it's good to be able to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower. 'Lead us not into temptation.'" Joseph Campbell

Ah non, mon français!

My French is slipping again! So I watched two back to back seasons of a show called La Galère, but Netflix doesn't have the other seasons. Hapoo. It's about 4 women who, with their kids, decide to live together. This is the song they play at touching moments.

fighting to the bottom of the deep

Two great songs I heard on the radio this week.

Whitehorse - Devil's Got a Gun (They do a nice cover of "I'm on Fire" too.)
I'm never going home
I'll be the only one
With daylight on my tail
And heaven on the run

Lyrics from eLyrics.net



Think of all the work you’re doing
As work that you can only understand

"Do you have a stroller for 533 children?"

Delivery Man comes out today and might be worth a look in. It's an American remake of a French-Canadian movie, but by the same director/writer. The preview looks exactly like the original.

It's about a guy who was a sperm donor years ago, and finds out he has 500 kids, a bunch of whom want to find him. He secretly starts to look them up, and gets drawn into helping them out with their lives. It's a lovely little comedy--one that takes you from a silly premise, to a touching story about our desire to feel connected and cared about. Makes me all weepy-esque.
