lauradi7dwWorth watching - John Hockenberry commentary about people who don't need wheelchairs looking at people who do.

Sometimes I have no problem with movies that are full of stars, and sometimes I can't keep my mind on the plot because I keep getting distracted by the actors. I can't predict when that will happen, but I think it will be true in Lincoln (the one without vampires)

I'm already distracted by the age discrepancies. Sally Field is older than Dan Day-Lewis. Jared Harris is older than US Grant was at the time, to my surprise. Stuff like that. The music in trailers is often not the movie music, but it certainly sounds like the American Experience music. Is that supposed to make it seem more like a documentary?
I was thinking about how close Rosh Hashanah falls to Talk Like A Pirate Day (not overlapping, but nearly). There actually was overlap in 2009, so of course there are web pages about it.

I attended a memorial service this afternoon. As we were leaving the sanctuary, we were given little cards with June's photo on one side and a poem by ee cummings that she liked on the other. Is this a new trend?* At some point will people trade them for the photos of other dead friends? Play card games with them?
*apparently not - in the Roman Catholic church, they have existed for a while, substituting a photo of the deceased for a saint's picture, but still with a prayer on the back. I found this site.

I don't like the example cards. June's just has a nice photo (no implication that she'll be playing golf or smelling roses in the afterlife).
