Dig this.. I got this trial paper and stuff in the mail to try Netflix for a month and if I like it, then it’s 7.99 a month. I’ve of course heard of it, but never tried it because I am a bit dubious about these things. But being the movie lover I want to watch movies when I want to watch them. Okay, so I’m sort of out of the scope of this kind of stuff…it really trips me out sometimes. But still, I’ve decided to try it out myself. 🙂
The Illusionist
Folks, though this is an older movie, (I didn’t know it was.) some of you may have seen it. If not, I highly recommend it. I’m a movie freak, of course. But I am totally critical, from the costuming down to little things that I catch out of sync. This movie, is a must see. I had to watch it twice, matter of fact.
The Illusionist
Fact of the matter is, for some reason my ability to post the video isn’t working. But click and see if this works for you!
Gonna snuggle in for the night!
Nooo Silly’s… NOT with a guy. LOL! (Course, I did have one in mind, but…I’d feel sort of obligated in a chick type way to do the shave the legs, wash the hair, yada, yada, type stuff that I don’t feel like doing.) I just got a new comforter which is totally cozy, hence my name for blankies and comforters I love. It’s still early, but I’m going to jump in a hot bath, then put on sweats, pull my hair into a braid and plug in a movie.
My “kid” sister told me I HAD to watch the movie called, The Illusionist. I’ve got a six pack and some munchies and this will be my Friday night. I’ll update on the movie. Have a great weekend all!
Prom or Not?
Overheard some high school talking about whether or not they intended to go to their prom next month.
Everyone deserves a big special night. Getting nice clothes, having your hair and nails done, and going out looking fantastic and feeling special. Riding in a limo, eating at a nice restaurant, and then dancing for hours. Being with friends that you grew up with and might never see again, so you have one last special memory of good times with them.
So, my advice to those girls who have not yet decided, go to the prom and make the most of it. You might never have the chance to be glamorous and elegant like that again. If you have never done that, you are missing one of the best parts of life.
I Guess They Don’t “Get It”
Last night while fixing a late dinner – very late for me -I had the TV on to keep me company in the kitchen. The show was a news talk format with a local anchor interviewing two guests. I like the anchor – he does a good job, although he was not very familiar with the topic at hand: Domestic Violence.
The two guests were cops who work for Metro and do a lot of domestic work. I was interested but very dismayed to hear them talk. They really don’t get it. Seriously.
R I P Elizabeth Taylor
If there was one Hollywood actress whom my mother idolized, it was Elizabeth Taylor. She was the most beautiful and glamorous women on the big screen.
I was sad to read that Elizabeth Taylor passed away today from heart failure. At least she had the best medical care throughout her life and with all of her different conditions. And she had her family at her side – most close friends did have a chance to say goodbye.
I don’t know where the funeral will be held, but if I lived anywhere near her final resting place, I would make the effort to go to her funeral. She was an icon and will be missed.
Do You See the Resemblence?
The Social Network stars a guy named Jesse Eisenberg. Same last name as Hallie. Look at the faces . . . yep! Brother and sister!
Jimmy Fallon is FUNNY!
I knew who Jimmy Fallon is because I used to watch him on Saturday Night Live. Then he ended up getting a late night show – it comes on at 2:00 am – the latest late show on the schedule.
Every once in a while I can stay up extra late and not worry about having to get up at 5:00 am to go to work. Those are the only times I can watch the Jimmy Fallon Show. But I really enjoy his show when I do have the opportunity. He makes me laugh out loud, and I love the variety of guests that he has on the show to talk and play games with him.
Larry vs Piers
For many years I would watch Larry King do his show on CNN when I was not interested in the drivel on primetime network TV. I always thought that Larry was a good host and that he asked very interesting questions that would draw out the guest. I was sorry to see him retire – I even watched his last show and got choked up at all the people who participated in the tribute.
Now Piers Morgan has taken that slot on CNN. He is a very good conversationalist. His style is very different from Larry’s, and that is to be expected. I watched his first show with Oprah and learned a lot about Oprah that I did not know. I missed the Howard Stern interview, but tonight the guest is Condoleezza Rice and I am enjoying this interview very much.
Music on the Internet
As much as I am on the internet and as much as I love to listen to music, I am so excited to have found a web site called Pandora.com This is a web site that lets you pick the type of music that you like by choosing 2 or 3 or 4 of your favorite artists or groups. Then they create a personal station for you that plays music by those artists plus they add in a handful of similar artists. I love that idea!
