Feb. 17th, 2008 12:17 amI saw two good movies today. I seem to be getting lucky with movies lately!
The first was Stardust. I loved this movie!! It was so creative, and lovely, fun, sweet, romantic, exciting, and funny. It had so many twists and turns in the plot, and so many crazy-wild things, like the ghosts (what a hoot they were!) and the flying pirate ship, that I was on the edge of my chair through it all. Everyone was good in it, but Michelle Pfeiffer almost stole the whole thing, she was so awesome. A little extra treat for me was one of my favorite audiobook readers, Nathaniel Parker (he does the Artemus Fowl books, and he's great), was in it, playing the adult Dunstan.
The second was Song of the South. This was typically Disney, which meant the live action parts were pretty sappy (why didn't they tell us what was going on with the dad? why are Disney kids so obnoxious?) and the animated parts were terrific. I loved the butterflies, and was there ever a hero so cool as Br'er Rabbit?
It rained here all day long. I don't know how much we got - 4 to 5", I think - but our wheelbarrow was filled to overflowing! We had a few thunderstorms go through, beginning last night and going on all day, but mostly we just got a long day of drenching, neverending rain. Since we keep a close eye on the weather, we knew this was coming, so I got my grain hauling done yesterday and put off my grocery shopping until tomorrow.
My roomie is making me the coolest nightgown! The fabric is blue dragons on a black background with red and yellow flames, and besides lace, she's decorated the front with star buttons and a tassel.
