It is the end of our first week and we are a complete group at last. We picked Margaret and most of her luggage up from the airport tonight. I've been bombarding her with questions all evening and have learned some interesting facts about my journey to come: 1. There was a chance that Willie Aames was going to be our Cruise Director, but it turns out he will be on another ship. 2. On one of the Nautica's first runs down to South Africa it was "attacked" by pirates. But they were in tiny motor boats and the Nautica is a cruise ship so it didn't go well for the pirates. Margaret will probably be sick of me and my questions by tomorrow lunch time but I think she's super nice. She's from South Carolina so in case the two Brooklyn boys weren't having enough of an effect of my accent I've now picked up a twang. I'm adding another category to my blog, Movie, Music and Book Reviews. This afternoon the boys and I saw 50/50. I loved this movie. I mean it was wicked sad and cried pretty much from beginning to end but I also laughed just as much. I would not be surprised if Joseph Gordon-Levitt gets nominated for an Oscar for this performance. Bryce Dallas Howard, who I just saw play the mean girl in The Help, was just as good in this movie at making me really hate her. Seth Rogen played his typical Seth Rogen type character and provided most of the comic relief. I would give this movie 4 stars out of 5 for sure. Although now that I'm reading this review I realize that I don't know what I'm talking about or how to review anything at all. Nonetheless, I was totally into this movie.

Well, this certainly falls into the rambling category.
