Odds & Ends and other things
|
Not really having any one particular event of interest to write about, I am going to tell you all the new things I have been doing lately.
Friday, we watched the new Music Man movie. It was just like the last one except for a few changes in the script. All the songs were the same. All the lines were the same. There were better characters. I can much more easily believe Marian could fall for Matthew Broderick than for Robert Preston. :-P And I can more readily sympathize with the professor when he's not always got his guard up. And I much prefer the style of singing in the new movie. Mom says it's because I'm used to hearing people sing that way.
Saturday, I started working at the Gift Gallery again. I am only working there for the month of December. I figured it might work out well. I can use the extra money and Mary can sure use the help at Christmas. :-)
Sunday, I went to church and played my flute for the service. The Smiths weren't there, so it was only James, Adrienne and I for instruments.
Today, I had a chiropractor appointment. I don't seem to be making the progress that I should with my jaw. I know I should be putting ice and heat on it more than I do, but it's not something I think about doing until it starts to hurt and by that time all I really want is ibuprofen. :-/
I got a Christmas present in the mail on Saturday from the girls in WBLA. They sent me a card with our picture on it. It was one we had taken for the department picture, done in black and white. And they sent me a CD of Christmas music. It's the newest one in the To God All Praise and Glory series. It's got some really great songs on it. One is called Masters in This Hall. It's a French carol and sounds really awesome.
I talked to Brittany on Saturday night. It was great to hear her voice again. She and Willie seem to be having a great time with their family this Christmas. They were watching the Grinch when I called. She said it was the signal to begin the holiday season. I told her we hadn't begun ours yet, because we hadn't watched A Charlie Brown Christmas. I told her we had it on DVD, but then I found out that we only have the soundtrack, not the movie, so now we have to get it so we can start Christmas. :-)
James has got all our lights up this year. We had a total lack of working white lights. We simply had to buy some more. After a while, you know, those lights don't work anymore (or they get too tangled up) and you have to do something about it. But now they're all hung and looking pretty. (And I might add that the decorating competition in this neighborhood has gotten way out of hand.)
So anyway, that's life around here. |

just my 2 cents on the Music Man movie.
They did not keep to the original script and that is what I didn't like about it. Plus, they changed all the choreography.
Love,
Mom

It was the same exact wording! They left out a few things. And they added a sentence or two. But about 98% of the script was exactly the same.

I hate Matthew Broderic. I didn't even like him in "Ferris Bueler!" (spelling?)

Ok, true. I never really went for M.B., but I can still imagine a girl could more easily fall for him than for R.P. Am I right?

| The ShugaBowl |
| Sounds like some kind of sports thing, but in reality, the ShugaBowl is just a little hideaway for me, Sugarcube herself, to let loose my thoughts and occasional creativeness. |
