of love and race

I like this video about interracial couples. I like the glimpse into their relationships and the way they interact.

I don't like the part with the "psychologist" who talks about the show "Friends" being racist because the "friends" don't have any black friends. That's not a racist portrayal. Many groups of friends are of a single race and that doesn't mean that the "group" is racist. Anyways, only individuals can be racists.

I'm also not sure how "bad" it is that young children have a tendency to conceptualize marriage as a mainly intra-racial thing. This may be based on their own empirical observations.

New member of the family

For my birthday, we welcomed a new member of the family!

Please welcome Alfredo Pescatore. We call him Freddy, for short.

When he goes incognito, his alias is Alfred Fishman…

Alfredo is an oranda, which is a type of goldfish. We picked him out because he was very lively and danced in front of us in the pet store. He is very cute and this morning he was sleeping on the bottom of his bowl!

Last month, we found some pips in weird places around the house!

Spring came in early February!

Conservative Movies

Here is a list from National Review of the top conservative movies. Included are some that I really like:

1. The Lives of Others: Loved it. about East Germany, a favorite subject matter since childhood. I like how everyone is scared and spying on each other. I'd give it an 89/100

2. The Incredibles: I really liked this Disney Movie, and Brad Bird's follow-up, Ratatouille. Ratatouille also has a more muted conservative message. I'd give it a 92/100.

3. Metropolitan: I liked this when I saw it. some class issues. don't remember it well enough to rate it. Would kind of like my life to be like this.

5. 300: very entertaining display of courage, masculinity. 85/100

11. The Lord of the Rings: I watch this in its entirety about once every two months. 97/100 for all three movies.

22. Brazil: watched this with best friend when I was in high school and a few times since. I like my movies to be about dystopias. 88/100.

Honorable mentions that I like: The Last Days of Disco, Witness (loved this, love the Amish). Peter Weir, who did Witness also made another of my favorite movies Picnic at Hanging Rock, and The Truman Show.

I just saw another great conservative movie, Taken. I'd give it an 84/100. This was exactly what I wanted in a movie. There was good and evil and no moral equivalence. The moview was about (Liam Neeson's) mission to find the people who stole his daughter and tried to sell her into 'white slavery'. The first 30 minutes were pretty terrible. But they made the rest of the movie even better. I was rapt with attention for the whole movie. AWESOME. Here's a review on Andrew Breitbart's Big Hollywood blog.
