Random Thoughts Thursday

An "it's been vewwwwwwy quiet" edition

* Where do I go for a week at a time? Silly. I'm here. I'm working. I'm around. Just not blogging. Quien sabe?

* I drove through the teeny historic town here yesterday and the trees that were green last week are orange-y red, finally.

* Speaking of that, ORANGE you glad I'm blogging today?

* Can ya tell I like cheese?

* I like ham.

* I don't like green eggs or Spam.

* It's a birthday party weekend -- niece is turning 25! I remember the day she was born (though I was just a kid meself). I've known her for her entire life. Weird. Cool.

* Thief! Someone has stolen the first half of October! Well, it feels that way anyway.

* I've started Christmas shopping. Just a bit. So far, I've ordered stuff on QVC and online. My goal this year is to not set one foot in a single store.

* I wish I had waffles. The chocolate ice cream in the freezer is begging to be put on some waffles.

* *hitting power* *pushing play* I did not know Alanis Morissette was in my CD player! Morning surprise for me.

* In honor of her, Thank U for reading. :-)

Movie Mania!
Featuring the TLJ-
Roger Ebert 4-star system.
Usually, Rog and I agree. Usually.

The Dark Knight
TLJ: 3.5 stars
Ebert: 4 stars
I agree, it's an "engrossing tragedy." A great film that makes you think.

I Love You, Man
TLJ: 3 stars
Ebert: 3.5 stars
I liked it, too, Rog, but not as much as you. Yes, you're right -- Jason Segel is my new favorite guy though I do still love my Paul Rudd, too. I laughed enough that I was happy I rented it. Corny, silly, but smart in places, too.

Ballerina
TLJ: 2.5 stars
Ebert: No review online
This movie followed the ballerinas of the Russian Kirov and other ballets from youth to company. I liked learning how much the dancers sacrificed, how perfectionistic they are (even more than they're teachers and choreographers), and how dedicated, but what was missing? Dancing! They kept teasing me with brief pieces from various ballets. I wanted to see more of the payoff of their hard work.
