first dinosaur egg

Zaiid wanted to have a dinosaur egg just like Sid's from the movie Ice Age III. So we hard-boiled an egg and drew a face. He was so thrilled to have one of his own. He made it sit, lie down, or say some funny movie lines to it. But then he accidentally broke it. "Sorry, egg. It's ok... na...na..." He was so cute and he was so sincere that it broke my heart into bits. I remember how he loved my eggbelly and now he's actually loving a real egg. Sweet.

Mijn Schatje copied Totoro!

I thought the rabbit felt very Hayao Miyazaki. It had to be. I am a fan of his animated films as Spirited Away is one of my ultimate favourite movie. I've also known My Neighbor Totoro by heart and I knew that cute little creature on that illustration is Totoro.

How can this Mijn Schatje thought of getting away with stealing other's works while making money all on her own? I can't believe how she imagined that people wouldn't recognize other artists works. I'm sorry but I have to say that this is truly a pathetic cry for desperation - couldn't create my own, might as well do some short cut.

Synopsis

The Science of Sleep," a playful romantic fantasy set inside the topsy-turvy brain of Stephane Miroux (Gael Garcia Bernal) an eccentric young man whose dreams constantly invade his waking life.

While slumbering, he is the charismatic host of "Stephane TV," expounding on "The Science of Sleep" in front of cardboard cameras. In "real life," he has a boring job at a Parisian calendar publisher and pines for Stephanie (Charlotte Gainsbourg), the girl in the apartment across the hall. While Stephanie is initially charmed by Stephane, she is confused by his childishness and shaky connection to reality. Stephanes co-worker, Guy (Alain Chabat) a vulgar but practical man, offers advice on the opposite sex, but Stephane is too far in the clouds to listen. Unable to find the secret to Stephanies heart while awake, Stephane searches for the answer in his dreams.
