...Unfortunate Events!
Took Angelbaby to see the Lemony Snicket movie today. Every Christmas Santa Clause brings Angelbaby at least one book. This year it was "Book the First" in A Series of Unfortunate Events. This being our first non-picture book, I was a little worried that she wouldn't give it a chance. I was wrong. So far we are on chapter 3 and she is enchanted. As we were walking into the theater today I asked Angelbaby if she thought seeing the movie would ruin the book for us. My child genius said "No, probably there's more stuff in the book mommy." I love that kid. So, the movie. The best metaphor for life I have seen in a long time. I would even go so far as to describe it as transcendent. I can't recomend it enough. Maybe I'm just infantile, but some of the concepts these children learn I am still striving for in my own life. Plus, the imagery was brilliant. Hideously beautiful if such a paradox can exist. I guess you could say I liked it and I look forward to reading the story to Angelbaby.
