Week Thirty-Two: Movies and suchlike!

Last night, my family decided to go out and see a double feature at the drive-in. Mum cooked up a delicious meal, we gathered blankets and pillows, chairs and chocolate (for dessert) and packed up the car.

As we did so, the sky got darker and darker, until it got to the point where we went back and checked the weather AGAIN (after seeing that there was not a drop of rain forecast until the next night), and sure enough, there it was. A %20 chance of rain.

As anyone who has gone to a drive-in knows, going in the rain is absolutely no fun at ALL, so we decided to play it safe and stay at home. Since we had planned to see a double feature of "Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes" and "Captain America", we settled on a double feature of our own. "Pricilla, Queen Of The Desert" and "Fall From Grace", a documentary on the Westboro Baptist Church.

Both films were really good, and as Pricilla went along, I grew to like it more and more. "Fall From Grace" was both facinating, educational and like watching a train wreck.

As much as I'd like to go into what I thought about the movies some more (and I might, with Pricilla), I have to run.

There are proposals to make up for the family theatre business, and the day is marching onward.

But before I go, a few questions:
Have you seen any of the movies that I mentioned?
What's your favorite film?
What's the best film you've seen lately? (Mine would have to be a documentary on crossdressing in film/on stage, I think. Too many options to choose from!)

Until tomorrow,

Getting over myself.

Only after I finished my post, I realized that the blog I wrote yesterday was rather long. I think that's fine, though. There are some things that just need to be said, no matter how many words it takes.

As is my established pattern, since yesterday's post was long, this one will be shorter.

The unschooler's conference that I go to every year is coming up, and I've been hiding myself away, practicing my guitar so that maybe I'll actually get up the guts to enter the talent show and play in front of a room of people.

The idea is both terrifying and exciting, so I can't quite decide which feeling is going to win out, although I kind of really want to do it. It's just a matter of convincing myself that I'll do fine, and getting over myself.

In other news, I will be reaching my 100th post on this blog this month! That's a HUGE milestone, one that I never really thought I'd reach. So that's a cool thing.

Anyway, my day is calling me, and I have things to create, books to read, and songs to sing!

Have a splendid day,
