Film Meme from matgb

Inspired by the AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies list is the obvious meme. I'm surprised that there's only one film in the list that I struck out. I'm not surprised by the number of them I've never seen. Basically it reads like a list of "Best Picture" winners up to about 1996 (nothing after then... hmm... anything to do with Titanic being the 1997 winner?), plus a few token others.

Edit: Ahh, the list was published in 1998, which kind of explains the lack of representation of the '90s and '80s, when you consider the probable age of the voters. Still, analysis has revealed that the 50s and 60s were the "favourite" decades, with the 50s (1951-1960) contributing 20% of the films on the list!

More Baby Stuff?!

I went up to the hospital this morning, Alexis is fine (apart from being bored out of her skull - and she has another 9 hours' observation to go!)

I got back to find the car seat and base had been delivered, and were sitting in the downstairs hallway. I can tell already that we're going to have lots of fun with it - it took me a good 5 minutes to work out how to un-click the seat from the base! Next up, more fun as I try to install the base in the car.

Edit: Done. I'm not convinced about the seat, though... more a case of Alexis/passenger having to slide their seat forward a tad, I guess, to allow the seat's carry handle to fold down [Edit: or not, as I'm told it's best to keep it upright]. Other than that, it seems nice and sturdy :-)
