Smart Music

I recently purchased a thing called Smart Music. It's pretty cool. They have a lot of music and I'm really excited to start playing/ Singing. They have vocal songs from musicals and Cole Porter. However, they don't have all the songs I'd like them to have. But I guess I'll live. I forgot hoe fun it was to blog.

Hey.....

I'm a crap blogger I know....

******
I have to ask you all a question, does it matter is a girl has a friend whose a guy. They are just friends is that so wrong? I have a friend named Jake and we spend time together but I get a lot of crap from others what's wrong with the world?

It's really cold here in Alaska blargggg. I really dislike  the snow here. but the moose are really cool.

So what's new in my life. I'm currently taking a sword fighting class to stave off the winter boredom and because I'm going to join the local SCA we have a Barony Wooo! but alas no Duchies which is sad because you just don't get to say that everyday oh well.

Robert Browning

I recently downloaded the musical Robert and Elizabeth. I think it's wonderful. He's fighting for position as #1 poet against Robert Frost. So today at the library I got a book of Browning poems. I haven't read them yet. But I plan to.

******
Tonight (tonight it all began tonight...) On PBS (9.1) the Vienna Symphony Orchestra is playing a 9p.m. Alaska Time. My Mother and I are going to watch it together. Yay!

******
Finally, I'm reading The Lionesses Song Quartet by Tamora Pierce. It's fantasy and it's so far really good. Even though I'm only on the first book. I would recommend it.

A Bit of This a Pinch of That

I've been reading a lot of books lately. Such as Growing Up Again, Life, Loves, and oh yeah Diabetes by Mary Tyler Moore, The Once and Future King, and, 1984. IMHO all are good books.

I've been gone for a while, miss me? I've been pretty busy (errr reading, sewing , knitting, going to the library, watching TV.....) But I'm here and that's all that matters.

How's fall for all of you? Here in Alaska it's pretty but we don't have any deciduous trees so the colors are pretty much brown and yellow. It's also getting darker at night and you can go out in broad daylight with a sweater on and have it be chilly. It also smells like berries. It's also time to pull out winter clothes now that the temp doesn't get over 70. It did one day... it was nice.

Movies!

I've been watching a lot of movies lately. #1 on our list is


My Week With Marilyn-
    A very good movie. It is sort of documentary style. The woman who played Monroe was very good at it and the lipsyncing was really well done. A fun romp if ever there was one. The only reason it'a rated R is they drop the F-bomb several times.

2. The Children's Hour-
    An Audrey Hepburn movie, very well produced and yet such a sad story. A movie about two school teachers who are. both women and friends. And a terrible lie about them being lesbians ruins their reputations. Though it's not true Martha (not Hepburn) does like her like that. And Karen's (Hepburn) fiancé leaves her. No spoilers but a sad yet good movie.

Finally #3, Gypsy-
     A okay movie about a doting stage mother, a dying vaudeville scene, and a troupe. Or was a so so. Not the best roles for anyone. But a well done production, songs, and acting. My favorite song was Rose's Turn.
