So ~ last night we watched "88 Minutes" with Al Pacino -- I thought it was excellent! We then watched "Mamma Mia!" and I loved it! I really would like to see it live ~ but have to say Meryl Streep was terrific... thought Colin Firth probably should have been more featured in the singing, he has quite the nice voice... I love Pierce Brosnan, and he did an admiral job; but watching him sing made me uncomfortable because he looked so ill at ease for most of his stuff.
Had a really good conversation with my dad last night, which was something I needed. I read about people who are screwed up because their fathers are emotionally distant... my dad and I are so intune with each other it is kinda spooky ~ and he definitely is the polar opposite of emotionally distant! So ~ Love You Dad... oh so much :D.
Today I loaded up a bunch of photos onto facebook... for my two expat buddies (you know who you are) ... well, I just encourage you again -- in the light of the new year... to seriously consider being on FB. It is faster than blogging, easier... and in real time -- you can have the page up while doing other things... go away then come back and read your friend's updates and it is cool. Of course, it is a time vortex, which will suck away your time... but time-schwime, right?
I've updated my barbershop music database (yes, as exciting as it sounds *Yawn!*), and my barbershop audio database... our quartet gathering this weekend will be a music choosing and image discussion meeting, with maybe a little singing thrown in for good measure.
I have the craft class tomorrow and haven't done one. single. thing. And I'm here, bloggin like I have time (!!) It's gonna be a long night...

Helping me feel less guilty about keeping in touch with people... keeping a timeline of life so when I get around to scrapbooking I'll have dates, times, names etc... one more excellent excuse to not go to sleep!
About Me
- C D
- Um.... I'm from California, then Arizona, then lived in Scotland for 5 1/2 years, now back in the desert -- have lived my life as if I'm going to miss something, so have done a little of this, a little of that, but am no expert in anything (yet). My philosophy is we make no mistakes, as we are the sum of our experiences - just learn from your life.
Quotes
"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not, nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not, unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not, the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." ~ Calvin Coolidge
"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be & you help them to become what they are capable of being." ~ Goethe
"Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit,
for anger resides in the lap of fools."
Ecclesiastes 7:9
"When you follow your bliss... doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors, and where there wouldn't be a door for anyone else." ~ Joseph Campbell
"To love what you do and feel that it matters - how could anything be more fun?" ~ Katharine Graham
"Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill." ~ W. C. Fields

I agree that facebook eats away your time. It's really fun, though. Twitter is even worse. It is like facebook on steroids, so if you haven't tried it, check it out. People can see everything you say, not just your friends, so you need to be a little more guarded in your comments, but it's a lot of fun. I'm from California, too and I love that you sing. Glad to meet you online.
ok. ok already! I'll join FB! ;-) Hmm..you'll have to tell me how to find you, won't you?
