Ok, week one down. Not too bad.
This weekend though, was/is going along very nicely. I had the Meryl-thon with Lindsey. We watched 11 Meryl Streep movies in about 36 hours. It was really amazing. She is so amazing. Both Lindsey and Meryl. I only hope to have a chance to meet/thank the woman someday. If I could act with her that would make all of my dreams come true! Anyway the order went as follows:
The Manchurian Candidate
Death Becomes Her
Dancing at Lugnassa
Defending Your Life
Postcards from the Edge
The Hours
Mamma Mia! the sing along
Sophie's Choice
Marvin's Room
A Cry in the Dark
Bridges of Madison County
We had a great time. However, I am not extremely tired.
I am home now, hanging out with the family. Working on a few things before having to go back to school tomorrow afternoon.
SIDENOTE: For those of you who emailed me to tell me you read this, thank you. I am glad someone does read this. And, for those of you who want to comment but don't, please do not worry about it.
OH: When we went and saw Mamma Mia! the sing along.... We had such a blast. It was Lindsey, Jessica and I and we went all out. I mean everyone sang, but quietly. We, however, sang at the top of our lungs, dramatically/emotionally, without looking at the screen for words, just enjoying ourselves. Which is funny because we cannot sing very well but we didn't care. At the end when they roll the credits they play music..and....we happened to be sitting all the way at the top, so we danced our way down the stairs to the front of the theatre and performed for everyone. We skipped around the theatre, sang, danced, and everyone loved us. afterwards we were driving with the windows down, blaring the songs, singing at the top of our lungs, and a woman who happened to be in the movie drove by and waved and laughed. One of the highlights though, was when a police officer came into the theatre to see what was going on (he just seemed curious, because we were told to sing, hello it is a sing-along) Lindsey sang to him and he just laughed at us.
Well I have some other stuff to do, so I will go for now.
Bon Appetit

I am fascinated by the effort you guys put into Meryl. Seriously. It must take work. I mean, it must have been hard not ripping your teeth out while watch all of her almost-award winning moments in such a compact time span, becuase you would have realized over and over again that someone, somewhere aced better. And you mentioned those who want to comment but don't; I tell you, you should its fun. I mean, I do it. And I'm more like, I don't want to comment but I do. It's a compulsion.
And also: there were other people in thee Mama Mia Sing Along?! Seriously, I'm not that stupid. People don't actually go to those things. Well, not for real.
and I think I deserve some sort of award/honorable mention for being the most prolific (and only) commentator on this blog. It could be televised, and when you admire me, you can say at least he won something, unlike that Meryl what's-her-name...
