Succulent Flower

thread
Succulent Flower
My succulent (多肉植物) plant is flowering now. The flowers are small, but pretty. I read online that if you cut the flower stem (茎, くき) and plant it, it will grow into a new succulent plant. Sounds easy - I might try it.

Vocabulary
- flower (名詞) = 花 flower (動詞) = 咲く
- plant (名詞) = 植物 plant (動詞) = 植える

2001: A Space Odyssey

thread
2001: A Space Odyssey
Recently my kids watched the movies Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, and Toy Story 2. I was surprised that they both contained references to the famous 1968 movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey, so I said to my kids, “Let`s watch it – it`s interesting.” My sons liked it, but my daughter was bored & confused.

Grammar:
- I was bored/confused/interested
- The movie was boring/confusing/interesting
