Random Thoughts Thursday

An "I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter" edition

* Dear Stomach,

I hear you! Dinner is coming. Hold on just a wee bit. And there's Starbucks in your near future! Hang in there.

Sincerely,
She who feeds you Dairy Queen blizzards(tm) occasionally


* Dear Knee,

Happy bending! I'm so glad you're feeling more like yourself, walking up and down steps, dancing like a maniac in the living room. I bet you didn't know I still remember the moves from the final scene of the Broadway version of "Hairspray" (not the crappy movie). Rock on, knee!

Love,
The Walker, Tara Turnblad


* Dear Hair,

I'm sorry about the whole bang issue. They're grown out now. Thank you for behaving so much lately, especially in this humidity. Does this mean we're friends again?

Yours,
She who won't cut your tresses that short again. Ever. I promise.


* Dear Self,

Happy Vacation! Enjoy museums! Enjoy the beach! Enjoy the dentist... wha? Well, Self, it needs to happen. It'll be OK. I'll buy you ice cream after. We can drool together as the novocaine wears off.

Sincerely and with love,
She who looks awesome in a blue paper bib

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.
