teen pregnancy and potato soup

B treated us to the movies yesterday which gave us a chance to finally see Juno. A good movie, but I wish I'd been able to avoid the hype a bit before hand. As always, the overuse of the words "groundbreaking" and "genre shifting" had me expecting something more than it was. Don't get me wrong. It was quite lovely, well acted and indeed quite different than your average teen movie. Sadly, it probably was groundbreaking for the Hollywood machine to have let this one through. It didn't inspire me though. Then again, I'm not a teenager anymore. It may've been different for me 20 years ago...or if I were hetero. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

After the movie, B had us over for homemade potato soup and other good snacks. Her friend R joined us for both the movie and the afters, and we ended up dissecting the evening news together. (This was made entirely more interesting by the fact that B and R both work on the inside and had some insight as to what was going on behind the scenes. I love peeking behind the curtain.)
