Another movie review
February 25, 2007
Yesterday, I went to see Music and Lyrics. There were a couple of laughs–chiefly the send up of 80’s music videos. Mostly, though, it was Hugh Grant trying too hard and Drew Barrymore not trying hard enough. In the words of ‘Men on Film’ from In Living Color, “Hated it!”
The Devil Wears Prada
February 15, 2007
I just watched this movie on DVD. I can see why Meryl is nominated for an Oscar.
In fact, she is SO good in her role, that the ending rings rather hollow. Girl quits and follows her dream to be a journalist and all turns out well. But Meryl Streep brought such humanity to Miranda Priestly that I couldn’t hate her; I loved her and wondered why anyone would quit working for her.
Especially with all the free clothes and a trip to Paris.
Although if six is fat, then I’m ginormous.
Very provocative

This take on the Apostle Paul’s comments on women keeping silent in the church. Your thoughts?
Not to be picky, but . . .

I just happened to catch part of an episode of Little House on the Prairie with Johnny Cash and June Carter-Cash in which he plays a con-man pretending to be a visiting pastor. He learns to be good, as is required on all LHOTP episodes. I thought the Cashes did a nice bit of acting, but I was disappointed that Johnny’s only singing was “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean” and no singing at all from June. As the program ended, Johnny Cash walked out of the church to the congregation singing “In the Garden.” I thought to myself, “Hmmmmm, I think that song was written in the 20th century.” I was right. It’s a little thing, but I hate it when people don’t do their homework. At least they were right about My Bonnie.
Knitting to come, in the meantime . . .

Try these on for size:
How Well Do You Know Your Bible?
I got 100% on the first one, but the second is MUCH harder, so I either need to read through the Bible and then take it or cheat. That seems like a wrong option on a Bible test. How’d you do?
There’s no joy
