Cooling Down

It is monsoon season and the dark, heavy clouds are coming in, but it is hot outdoors yet, and at 6:30 in the afternoon still hanging around 105 degrees. I will go out shortly as I have stayed indoors today, watching a movie, Knocked UP, and playing hearts, mah jong, and solitaire on my gateway games. Knocked Up is a funny movie about a pick up that leads to a pregnancy, friendship, an odd bunch of men who so obviously unsuited for the family life that they are close to becoming homosexual if not already there, and this guy who gets our heroine laid on the first date inches out of his group through his paternity. It is a very funny movie, very touching, warmhearted, and loving...most men that I know run scared of admitting to their role in the fathering of a child but this guy has a great understanding father, a bunch of friends who are supporting, and the woman has to be well heeled working for E t.v. show. Ryan Seacrest has a cameo appearance at the beginning of the show. That in itself gives credibility to the knockout looking gal who is a sharp cookie despite her obvious situation of picking up strangers in a bar and then getting caught at it. It is a humorous film depicting the hardships of marriage so that the lead pair decide to have the baby without getting married. It is easy to understand why that is a good decision here. The movie ends with the baby finally arriving, and the delivery scene is the funniest that I have ever seen...no holds barred in this one...makes one know why men are sometimes afraid of Madame Pussy!
