Two months since my last post. I've been busy. I have my daughter staying with me. I get to do girly things, I have a familiar accent around and she gets my jokes. She is being extremely successful as a kitten wrangler.
Harry Potter
I've re-watched the first six, preparatory to seeing the final episode. Loved the first one, not so keen on the second, but enjoyed seeing my old friends again. These movies are so well-made and well written, great believable effects (have to say this - watch, listen, and take notes Mr Cameron - both the effects and the writing). Scary movies, not for children.
Crazy stupid love
A time filler while my daughter attended a Warped tour gig. It was the best of a bad bunch and turned out pretty good. Some interesting messages and some funny bits. Yes - enjoyed it. Best bit, heralded by gasps from the female members of the audience, including myself, was when Ryan Gosling took off his shirt.
Glee 3D concert movie
I quite like the Glee television show, some good characters, great singers and dancers and some wholesome messages about diversity, tolerance, acceptance etc. This movie is basically a concert with a few other bits thrown in. One reviewer referred to it as evangelical and he has a point. I enjoyed it, energy, likeable people and good singing. My faves - Rachel (for the voice) and Kurt.
When Harry met Sally
At last I have seen this movie. Billy Crystal (remember Soap?) and Meg Ryan. Nice. She is sweet and goes through a series of hairstyles which illustrate the passage of time. Another Ephron story like Sleepless and Mail, with the same sort of music. If you like that music you will love Rod Stewart's American Songbook albums. Yep, nice, funny, with a happy ending. Check out the hair and fashion of the era. And of course you can't miss the iconic coffee shop scene with the "I'll have what she's having" line.
New kitten, Harley, black and white, cute as a bug, no he's way cuter. Was going to give him away but that may not be possible now he has bonded with the daughter. Have another kitten to catch, not being at all successful with that despite complicated rope and pulley arrangements. The mother is pregnant AGAIN. I'm over this, kittens are hard to house due to the over-supply
