A weekend at home

The past two weekends, Nora and I have been able to spend some good time at home, watching movies and playing with Levi. We have Levi on a very strict sleeping schedule thanks to a book, "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" which should be called "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Parents". The phrase "Sleep Nazi" is become popular around our house as we guard nap times and map sleep patterns. We have to adjust our schedule around these important milestones, so that usually means sticking close to home or making quick errands.

So we caught up on a couple movies we have been wanting to see. If you get a chance, check out "Idiocracy" by Mike Judge. It is a comedy about a future where the least intelligent have taken over the future because our great thinkers didn't procreate and spent their collective energies on solving erectile dysfunction and hair loss instead of the major world problems. It's just close enough to reality to make you cringe.

Similarly, but in a more serious tone, we watched "Children of Men" a Sci-fi thriller about 2027 when mysteriously, women can no longer have children. The world collapses into depression and chaos when they lose that hope for the future. England becomes the last safe haven for order so refugees are flocking to its coasts. There is a shot of the lead character leaving London and graffiti on the wall reads ,"Last one to die, please turn off the lights" which kind of characterizes the movie. Miraculously, a refugee girls becomes pregnant after the country has gone 18 years of having no children. The story involves trying to get this woman out of England because she also happens to be a refugee.
