Procrastinating...

Crocky and I watched a really sweet movie last night. I's called Breakfast with Scot, and if you can, you need to watch it. It is funny, and the characters stay in character and relatively unclichéd. It's about the couple Eric and Sam who take in the son of Sam's SIL after her death because his father cannot be reached. While Eric, an ex-ice hockey player who is now a TV sports caster, is not too thrilled of their recent addition to the family, especially of the femine ways of the boy, Sam likes Scot. Waiting for Sam's brother, the boy's father to turn up, the three slowly grow together. This is the trailer:
It is not as syrupy as I had expected after seeing that there is a Christmas scene, and it convinced me so much that I ordered the novel it was based on which is also available on Google Books as a preview. I really need to check out more Canadian films if this one is anything to go by.
Ok, back to work. Somehow, the pile of "have to read" books for my paper is growing more than the "read" pile. I'm so scared of Thursday, when I'll need to show my Professor the abstract for my thesis, I can barely sleep.

We were getting a kid because Sam believed a man is meant to make good on his word, and because I hadn't seeded and watered and weeded my garden, and now, when I needed it, I had no abundant supply of garlic to ward off the little vampire."
