The pictures are gorgeous! Yay for sisters! :-) Also, I love movie reviews from NORMAL people who can appreciate things like You’ve Got Mail, but also obsess over the intricacies of “deeper” films. We used to watch a lot of more mind-challenging Cinema, but then we had kids, and when we veg now, it’s usually nothing deep. I kind of miss that.

Point taken, Humoldt and the other coastal areas are pretty liberal.

I personally call SF central california for the most part, or i just say the bay area and skip the north/south region all together, but most people call it norcal so for the sake of popular understanding i went with that. and while there are parts of norcal that are conservative, there’s also places like arcata/humboldt, mendocino, etc that are probably among the most liberal places in the state. so it’s not just the bay area that’s liberal either.

Northern California more liberal?? Maybe San Francisco & Berkeley are liberal but outside of that Northern California is way less liberal than So Cal. As a side note, I hate that people think Northern California is San Francisco and Southern California is L.A. What about the half a state that is north of san francisco? That’s like calling Temple North Texas. San Francisco should be called ‘central california’ since its in the middle of the state. Just a pet peeve

Yeah, I need to watch those movies as I haven’t seen any of them, I have seen the movies you could watch over and over again and all are good. Cool pictures.

Thanks for the definition, Matt! Basically, a fancy word for a “coming of age” narrative. Next I need a pronunciation.

Aren’t those photos incredible?? They look so surreal. I keep looking at them over and over. They look like some fictional place, like someone just oil painted this fantastical wonderland.

Justin and I saw In Bruges a couple years ago. Sounds like I need to watch it again though. It does have one of my favorite actors, Zeljko Ivanek, in it for a few minutes, which I was really excited about when we watched it.

Bildungsroman (German for “formation novel”) is defined as a “genre of novel which focuses on the psychological and moral growth of the protagonist from youth to adulthood.” I had to look it up to understand what she was talking about exactly.

Sadly, I have never seen any of the movies Lazlo thinks everyone should see.

LOVE the photos! I may have to go up there some time. I can’t believe that we lived in San Jose for 4 years and never went to Yosemite.
