Today is Pop Culture Day over at Fancy Simple, so here's my "finds" for today!
Movie: Just Like Heaven- First I have to say, as much as I expected to dislike this movie just based on the cheese factor of the story, I LOVED IT! K-Monster likes it too (I don't know, he's a weird 8yo). I am a strong believer in the universe connecting you with people (experiences) that you need and it doesn't give up even when you don't "get it". I love that they were supposed to meet, ended up meeting in a messed up way, fell in love with each other's "spirit"/personality (and I loved that they annoyed the hell out of each other but still connected. As I joke with the hubster "Marriage is about finding that one person you can annoy for the rest of your life"), found out that they had people in common and ended up happily ever after....
Book: The Kite Runner- This is a wonderful book, although disturbing in places. It really shows how the connections we make as children can influence and follow us all through out our lives. It also shows the strong connections within ethnic communities in the US.
Gadget: Blogs! Like Barb said about email, blogs aren't a gadget necessarily, but I think just saying the computer doesn't work. I've made many connections with people that I never would have met through their blogs (and now mine!) and I'm very grateful for those connections. My life has been enriched by the women bloggers I've gotten to know and I just wish I could have all of them over for a dinner party sometime!
