Random Thoughts Thursday

An "it's the little things, peeps" edition

* The snowflake lights are on the poles in town as of today! YAY!

* Winter will be here soon! WOO!

* Lovin' my bacon-mustard-lettuce sammich.

* Admiring the Big Bird trees -- is it me or is there more yellow this year?

* Lots of soapy bubbles that smell like orchids in the bathtub.

* Waving at some kid in the back of the bus and having him wave back like I was his long lost relative.

* Laughing at myself thinking he turned to his friends and said, "Hey, some old lady just waved at me!"

* Losing myself while playing Beethoven.

* Loving myself for my cooking ability, my positive attitude, and my growing black and white cow toy collection.

* Chick-Fil-A... tomorrow. YAY!

* Smiling. I am. Are you?

Hey, have you thought about writing for Examiner? It brings in VERY little money, but if you have the time, it's a lot of fun. Plus, if you put me as your referral, I make a little bit of cash too! :)

Hi YSP. I'm sorry, but writing is something that should be rewarded at least a little and from what I know of sites like that one, they don't pay even minimum wage.

Chick-fil-a!! How I miss it! They don't seem to have it anywhere this far North. Boooooo!

THB, I think what NYC has to offer more than makes up for not having the awesomeness of Chick-Fil-A. :-)

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.
