30 before 30- #25 Scream
I was impressed with how little I knew about this movie going in. I had no idea who the bad guy was going to be, and I half guessed near the end? But only half got it right. What struck me most was how much Scream felt like an episode of Buffy. I enjoyed this movie, I’d rewatch it.

30 before 30 – #24 Dante’s Inferno
I read the midget’s illustrated edition, that included summaries at the beginning of each canto telling what was going on, and I still only understood a fraction of this book. I tried to find a link to the edition that midget has and amazon failed me, but I do recommend taking the time to read this classic. It is fascinating and worth the time and effort.

But we did sit down and mom explained piece by piece how the sewing machine worked and while watching her experienced the fingers thread the bobbin did look a bit like sorcery I now understand how the thing works. Now that the missing pedal has been found we have plans to sit down with some mending and we’ll see if I actually understand how the machine works!
