What's In This Blog

I created this blog for my journal. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this blog I keep many of the things I come across as a member of the church. I also share my experiences on the ACE Train and getting to work, my experiences in Manteca where we have lived for three years, and other things I think are noticeable.

Movie Night: ***The Gift of the Magi (2010)

This is a remake of the O. Henry classic.  However in this version we substitute an antique car and a camera for the hair and watch.  This version adds a marital fight and separation just before the giving of gifts.  I didn't really care for this part, because if they were truly people who sacrificed so much as they did, I think they would have had more trust.  The two things did not fit in my mine.  The separation was based on a misunderstanding and lots of pride.  He saw her with a man, who in fact was her second boss at a job she took to make money for his gift.  There is a side story of the best friends of each of the main characters needing to find someone, and having been unlucky in love in the past.
