Movie Quotes, and a New Name for the Blog

So I need a new name for my blog now that I have two. Any suggestions? Today I started thinking about doing one of those silly "How to..." titles, because:

A couple of weeks ago I followed Kathy Bates and Rene Auberjonois to a movie called My Best Friend is a Vampire a/k/a I was a Teenage Vampire. Information about the movie referenced the fact that this was one in a series of films with "I was a..." blank blank sort of title. You may remember that one of Michael Landon's first films (or was it his very first?) was I was a Teenage Werewolf. Vampire also starred Robert Sean Leonard. It was fun and amusing, but generally awful.

Maybe the title of my blog should have something to do with the birds nest inhabiting the light on my front porch. Something about the birds watching us.

Isaac occasionally looks gloweringly at us, which Michael says means he's judging us. This is a reference to the movie America's Sweethearts.

Kiki: Nobody hates you.
Gwen: Oh yes, they do. I was in a store the other day, you know that great store on Melrose? And there was a baby in a stroller and he was looking up at me and he was judging me. The whole world is judging me for what I did to Eddie.

(copied of of the IMDB page for this film)

This is one of those films we often quote. Particularly (in a whiney voice):

"It's so hard being the only person who cares about other people."

You should name it:

While these children don't know they need me

A break from the crazy life

Undercover blues


I got nothing, really. This is a good Sunday afternoon lunch conversation...
