I liked this film a lot.  Especially at the end where is SO spectacular that it makes fun of itself.

The Last Lecture The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch


My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
Good. Reminded me of “Life’s Little Instruction Book”, but much better and more an account of Randy’s life. Thanks to Melissa who gave this book to Michelle to read. Michelle liked it too, although she said it was sad. She was right it is sad especially page 200!

Non-Dairy Cheese

30 million people in the United States suffer from lactose intolerance.  I am part of the luck 15% of Caucasians that suffer this affliction.  For a pizza eating, cheese burger loving, nacho snacking male, this is very bad news.

  • 90% of Asian American adults have lactose intolerance
  • 70% of African-American adults have lactose intolerance
  • 74% of Native American adults have lactose intolerance
  • 53% of Mexican-American adults have lactose intolerance
  • 15% Caucasian adults have lactose intolerance

As a lactose intolerant person, I really missed cheese for a while.  Yes, I can take some pills, but it is just not the same.  I would much rather just be able to eat it (an cook with it).  And now I have found some cheese products that I can do just that with.  One was even mentioned in Scientific American lately.  In the article, they mention Tofutti, while I haven’t tried they’re cheese slices I have been enjoying their deserts.  For cheese I really like Veggie Shreds or Veggie Slices.  I did also like Rice Cheese, it has a funny smell when melted.  I’ve been able to find many of these products at Sprouts.  While there I always pick up some of Amy’s frozen foods, great dairy-free foods!

Excellent book. Don’t think twice about purchasing this book. I loved pretty much everything about it. I think it will be a great book to share with my son some day. I’m very happy that my friend Melissa gave me this book in hardback form, so it will last many years.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1 The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1 by Alan Moore


My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
Best graphic novel I have read thus far. Great artwork and a good story. Different from the movie in a lot of ways. I would say better than the movie, but not by too much. Characters are more interesting in the book.
