| "Thor was really cool. Thor kissed a girl." |
Good choice as you can tell from her school work today.
She wrote this note herself with the illustration- notice the hammer.
Everyone, including the six year old girl, loved Thor.
So will you.

Erica's Movie Review
Some might say taking a six year old to see "Thor" was a mistake, but EVERYONE wanted to see it, even her.
She asked us Sunday when we said we wanted to all go to the movies as a family that SHE wanted to see "Thor."

Foo-based Blog Topics
Image via WikipediaEveryone is creating blogging topic helpers.Brogan is selling them. Others giving them away for free.
Decided I wanted some inspiration and found it a few weeks ago with the release of the Foo Fighter's Wasting Light album. I wrote about the first line of the first song was "These are my famous words" and I asked, what would yours be (in 140 characters of course).
So what about the rest of the songs? Turns out Grohl gives food for thought.
"A Matter of Time" opens with "Let's change the subject to someone else."
"Back and Forth" starts with "Once upon a time, I was someone else"
"Arlandria's" first line is "Ain't that the way it always starts, a simple round of conversation."
"I Shoulda Known" starts with the predicable "I should have known it would end this way."
"White Limo," one of the least understandable songs in history, opens with "I'll take it out of the wishing well."
"Walk's opening line is "A million miles away, your signal in the distance."
I like the opening of "Rope" alot: "This indecision got me climbing up the walls." (Sounds like Gini D's latest post was written with this in mind.)
Or maybe it was "These Days": "One of these days the ground will drop out from beneath your feet."
"Miss the Misery" opens with "If I had my way; If I had to lose, Wouldn't take back one thing; Never had much to choose."
Finally, the tough "Dear Rosemary": "You got away from me; now, get away from me."
Sure these might not help you, but I am going to try and post based on them in the next few weeks. Where are you getting your oddball post ideas?

What Makes the Muskrat Guard His Musk?
photo © 2008 Ewan Munro | more info (via: Wylio)How much courage does it take to do ______?
How much courage did it take for President Obama to actually commit to the kill/capture of OBL?
How much courage does it take for someone to put an opinion out there?
How much courage does it take for you to post an "original" blog post?
Does it take courage to do any of the above?
Wikipedia's definition of courage: "Courage, also known as bravery, fortitude, will, and intrepidity, is the ability to confront fear, pain, risk/danger, uncertainty, or intimidation."
Dictionary.com: "the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear; bravery."
I would dare so there is no arguing that the folks that went in literally after OBL showed courage. However, there is a slight level of hyperbole applying "courage" to certain decisions.
I suppose it's always a matter of degree, just wish people would take it easy on the hyperbole.
PS- can you name where the title of the blog post is from?
