Rebellious

June 16 is No Orange Clothes Day.  And my rebellious 4 year-old refused to change his shirt.  Sigh.

That's okay though, because June 16 is also Fudge Day and it's Captain Picard Day.

Through fun and facebook, Jeremy and I were able to sync up and watch Star Trek First Contact at the same time with a friend in Oregon.  Another friend (in California) joined us later in the movie.  And synced up his movie so he was watching it at the same time.  It wasn't that hard for him to find out where we were in the movie, because Jeremy and Corey (our friend in Oregon) kept quoting the movie and commenting about it on facebook when things happened.  Marc (in California) also joined in the quoting, so after it was all over, we could look at a bunch of quotes from the movie with comments to go along.

Oh, and I made fudge for Jeremy and me to eat while watching the movie.  It was from the recipe on the back of the Western Family evaporated milk container.  "Old Fashioned Fudge."  Corey said he had fudge to eat while watching as well.

That was fun.
Jeremy thinks it would be fun to do this again.  Maybe have a party with several people/households across cities and states.  Everyone syncs their movie to watch at the same time.  And of course it's fun to have comments throughout the movie, just like watching in the same room.  But no pausing the movie allowed.


Anyone interested in participating if we set that up some time?
