Brother Bear 2
– Cute! Predictable, but with the fun loving characters from the first one. Kids loved it. 9/10
Stick It
– So, it’s the age old bad girl does good movie – with a 2.5 double back w/a twist. Loved it! Entertaining and it jabs fun at the gymnastics world. Awesome.
Friends with Money
– Hrm. A slice of life movie of an older (read: not teenage) generation that has it’s moments. I liked it alright, but wouldn’t see it a second time. 5/10
DILO – Day In the Life Of
So, today, thanks to KristyK’s heads up, I took part in DILO. If you’re interested, click the picture to start through the set – or here to the whole set. Still adding some, of course, as it’s only 4:30 pm, and thus still a few more hours before this day is over.
Just a normal Saturday around here. Up early for training meeting, then hanging around the house. The one oddity was heading to the High School so that the boy could record his AllState Choir audition tape. While we were waiting (Cuz they were running behind, of course) we wandered around and took some pictures there too. Now why is it, that everytime I want a decent picture of the boy, he grumbles and ducks and dodges – but when I want a picture of say, a hallway – he JUMPS RIGHT IN? Harumph.
Unfortunately the recording didn’t go very well, because guess who’s voice is changing? Heh. Not really noticible until he wavers on certain notes. Ms. H says that his voice has changed a lot in just the past three weeks. She’d know, of course. If it settles into a steadiness by Monday she’ll re-record. Otherwise, he’ll have to wait until next year to try for Allstate. We’ll find out if he made All-Burough in the next couple weeks, and Monday (hopefully) we’ll find out if he gets to take the trip to Europe.
So. What’s happening in YOUR neck of the woods?
ETA: Just uploaded the last DILO pictures! It was fun! Perhaps I’ll do it again next time. *g*
Heh.
Let’s see. It’s a good week for “People piss me off!” ala Hillbilly Mom! Cuz well, people do, and have been all freakin week. I think I may send them all to Lower Bastmentia to join HM’s Donots! Perhaps she can knock their heads together better then I can.
No reply from Simonweb, still. Hahahaha. And I’m still happy with Paypal’s T, who helped me figure out a way to deal with it. Pulling another client off Simonweb tonight/tomorrow, and the last one likely on Monday. So there. heh.
In other news – got a phone call yesterday that proved I still refuse to pull punches when a kid is involved. Hopefully I got through. Course, they’ve all said at some point “I hear ya, you’re right” and then they go wandering off and do the exact opposite of what I said should be done and lo and behold there is mayhem, and strife, and anger, and namecalling, and childish behavior. You’d think they’d learn. Unfortunately, at this stage in the game, I’ve given up all hope of it ever happening.
I swear. This world would be much happier if people’d just listen to me, dammit.
In OTHER other news…. hm. well. I don’t really have any other other news. *L*
The pup got to go on a field trip today to Seward to see the Artrain exhibit – it’s exactly what it sounds like, an Art Exhibit on a Train traveling through the state. Course, she was all about the “REAL LIVE SWAN momma! not a PICTURE!” seen at Exit Glacier, but did tell me about the woman weaving the Native Alaskan blanket that she thought was pretty cool too.
The girl is getting to teach a younger girl Clarinet and reading music two days a week in band, which makes her go all kindsa giggly happy.
And the boy got a bit of “neener neener” news today that made him happy. *chuckles* Someone who always called him stupid, is now repeating a grade. And while I cautioned him not to make fun, because he was SO CLOSE to failing last year, I can’t help but let him revel in it a little bit.
OH! in OTHER OTHER news – who knew Hal Sparks (QaF, among other things), who is still a TOTAL hottie, could rock out like that? and sing? AND HAS A GIRLFRIEND? 8OÂ Be still my beating heart! *fans self* AND he’s funny. AND he mentions The Secret on his sight. ANd? well. He’s risen even farther on my Celebrity Crush list because of it. *grin*
