Good Luck Chuck
Kathy and I watched "Good Luck Chuck" last night. It was very funny, charming, and sweet all in one. Not a movie for the kiddies since there is a lot of nudity, but fun for the adults. The story is about Chuck who has a hex put on him that no woman willl ever fall in love with him, but the next man they meet will be the man of their dreams. The rumor spreads rapidly when he is older and woman are lining up at his door to sleep with him in hopes of finding true love. Chuck takes advantage of this for awhile until he meets Cam played by Jessica Alba. From there on the story takes a dramatic turn for love and is filled with Alba's physical comedy. All in all I thought it was great fun and had me laughing out loud.

Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
I finished this book Thursday evening. I have to say, it was long, nearly 550 pages. Some phases of the book were really good, others were a little far fetched... the ending left me feeling like something was missing, it did come to closure, but.....
So, it is an epic novel, spans three generations of family. The historical descriptions and references were very interesting, I wonder how accurate they are. I'd be happy to pass this one along if you want to read it.
