My hubby, our baby girl and I went to go see Superman. We did the usual Arby’s run, I got my fix of curly fries and my chocolate shake and we went to see the newest incarnation of Superman. My hubby and the baby girl loved it, I liked it but at some point during one of the fighting sequences, I found myself thinking enough already. I can’t help but think that perhaps I was distracted by how intensely handsome I found Henry Cavil as Superman. He was almost unnaturally handsome, almost like Chris Helmsworth in Thor but even more so if you can believe it. I know that I had seen Henry Cavil before, since he was an important character in The Tudors, he was of course handsome then, but it didn’t distract as much in The Tudors. Perhaps because I was distracted by all the sexual liaisons of King Henry or the drama of Anne Boleyn and her immediate family, I don’t know, perhaps it was because his face wasn’t featured on the big screen so that you could focus on his cheekbones, his expressive blue eyes, his interesting nose. I don’t know but it was certainly distracting.

Anyway, there was a message as there tends to be in any movie and what I took the message to be was that genetic engineering is bad, everyone should be mindful of our finite resources and fracking is bad. That was what I took away from the movie, so even if I was distracted more than usual, at least I took away an important message for the future.

Plan the ultimate celebration for the person you're closest to, and tell us about it. Where is it? Who's there? What's served? What happens?

The person that I am closest to is my hubby and I know that instead of a big party, I would plan a get away for just the two of us as the ultimate celebration. We would start in Paris and we would go back to Le Crillion and spend at least a week in Paris and I would book him a reservation at the atelier at the Hermes store where he can meet with the chief architect of their luggage and he and my hubby can design my hubby's new satchel together with my hubby picking everything himself. My hubby has a luggage obsession and that time spent with the man at Hermes would be the ultimate gift ever. After that it would be a gastronomic tour of France leading down into Spain, looping back into southern France and following into Italy, leading us into Greece and then onto Istanbul. We would essentially be following our palates for however long it would please us. We would be so happy together, adventuring and eating our way through Europe.
