How many days left till KONG?!!!!
Great Googily-moogily... I'm going to want to put my eyes out with a rusty spoon by then! Earl is KING KONG CRAZY! And I'm going to be a Kong widow. (think golf widow... same thing). I have to say, what I've seen of it, it looks AMAZING, and I can't wait to see it, but I have a feeling I won't be able to sit through the end. I'm not good with sad movies. There's enough sadness and heartbreak all around us, why create more?
My dad told me before I toddled off to see Titanic... "Don't waste your money! The ship sinks!" I kind of agree with this film. I'm not going to walk out of the theatre happy. Kong DIES! (Unless there's something I've not heard about in the edit bay going on this week). I cry at the drop of a hat, and as a friend said ' I cried at the 1970's one, and not just because it was so bad'.... yeah, I'm that way too. Although, I can watch "bad" movies and usually find something redeemable about them.
So, wish me luck. I'm going to need it as I'm sure we'll be camping out for tickets for opening day in Los Angeles. Wheeeeee!
As for everything else. I'm knitting like a fiend, getting ready to do some serious baking and trying to eBay as much as possible, so that we might be able to make enough money to go to Tombstone to visit Kirby for a bit. I know Nora would like that. Earl seems enthused as well. Neither one as ever seen the 4 block stretch of town where less than 60 seconds if history occurred, but, millions still visit. Drama seems to surround that town. The first time I went there, when I got back, I was unexpectedly single ( I was only gone for a few days, and I get dumped upon arrival home, sheesh). And the second time, was when my friend(also unexpectedly) killed himself. I'm not sure what can redeem that place for me, other than the "Texas Cat Head Biscuits" at the local eatery (no they're not real cats heads, they're just the size of cats heads, but they've got good gravy on them... Maybe they're cat-flavored?)
I'm not good with holidays, I always forget to get a present for so-and-so, and then have angst over it for days, and I just basically want to hide until January.
Nora has perked up Christmas for me. She REALLY loves Christmas lights. I can at least now see things through her eyes for a change. It's brining back some of the wonderment I've lost over the years. For that I am grateful.
I am excited that we're having our second performance of the AMS Gospel Choir this Sunday, and this time, it's with the kids ages 3-12... This should be a RIOT! The song is "Jesus Is The Reason (For The Season)" It's bordering on Hip-Hop and it's a hoot! They're trying tog et us to do hand movements and everything... Did I forget to tell you... I'm WHITE!!!! Movements... Not-so-good-for-me, but I'm getting it... Earl is whiter than I am, I think.... So someone should get a video camera out for this one. If someone doesn't wind up with a black (no pun intended) eye or falls off the stage, there will be a second Christmas Miracle.
OK, I've got to run... I'll post more later.
