Guess I should post something too...

So yesterday Monica asks me to go to Blockbuster and get us a movie to watch..."Something I dont have to think about" she says. I said OK and went to town. I was perusing the vast selection of new titles out and am still surprised at how much junk Hollywood turns out on a regular basis. As y'all know we are movie lovers and sometimes go against mainstream tastes in our movie selections, but this was not one of those times. We needed something simple. So I picked out Tommy Lee Jones's newest offering, In The Electric Mist. The movie was OK, nothing to write about on here for sure, but I wanted to point out one key element about the film that takes place in Louisiana. We absolutely LOVED hearing people speaking in Cajun accents! The smallest thing really helps ease the tension of being away from home. By the time I leave California I will have been here 11 mths with 2 trips back home, each not more than 7 days long. Now for people who are in love with where they are from, this is simply unacceptable! I can not express in words how ready I am to go home and be back in the South again! I ask Monica to make Sweet Tea as often as I possibly can and we fix as many true Southern dishes as possible. Thankfully Monica knows how. My new departure date from this wonderful place is 6/29, a full month after Monica leaves for Grad school. If anyone would like to add to our movie watching efforts, please feel free to post/comment about Southern films that y'all have seen. Take care everyone and remember...ER nurses and MD's are always happy to assist in your time of need, just make sure that you actually need to be there in the first place :-)
