Wednesday . June 04 . 2003 . 8:43pm we've got annie and she's got it all I never realized that the movie "Annie" was so funny. I caught the last bit of it on the Disney Channel last night, and while I used to love it when I was little, I never quite enjoyed it as much as in the campy light I watch it now. That movie cracks me up. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT (During the "Tomorrow" number at the White House) Sing, Eleanor. ELEANOR ROOSEVELT I can't sing! PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT (Sternly presidential) Sing. ELEANOR ROOSEVELT (Busts out with this operatic voice) Tomorrow! Tomorrow! Some other thoughts: * Did you ever notice how Daddy Warbucks is always wearing a tuxedo? That's to show that he's RICH. * Ms. Farell looks like Courteny Cox. * Is Tim Curry in every 80's cult movie ever made? Seriously. Hello, "Clue"? He was a lot skinnier back then, though. Now he's large and in charge on that new sitcom where he plays the butler in charge of wrangling sassy kids. * Favorite line in the whole movie: "I never realized how many dishonest people there were in New York." I'm sure there's more, but I pretty much turned it off after the "Easy Street" number, because everyone knows it gets all boring after that. Bad guys kidnap Annie, orphans escape through the roof, Punjab saves Annie by using his turban as a rope, Daddy Warbucks adopts Annie and Sandy, marries Ms. Farell (it is implied). Boring. I'd much rather watch the "We Got Annie" number where everyone's prancing around the house, so happy that they're going to adopt this scrappy little orphan, and Daddy Warbuck's chauffer does that Chinese-y dance. * * * Today was crazy errand day. I walked the dog fifteen buzillion times (she seems to be phasing out of this incontinence thing, if the last two days can be used as data points, but just to be safe, I'm giving her every chance possible to intentionally empty her bladder); took in six pairs of pants to the tailor for alterations (stemming from an initial erroneous observation, "I have no work pants!" I do indeed have many pairs of work pants, but they're all too long for me and my accursed constitutional short stature); went to the supermarket for dinner makin's (pasta, broccoli, garlique bread); went to the bookstore in a failed mission to find this book (I probably could have found it if I had looked harder, but I was too lazy to ask the information desk person); and went to Banana Republic to pick up two pairs of these sale pants for Joe. I am not his mom, he just gave me money to buy them because I was going to be the neighborhood and he wasn't. Also, what is it with me and parentheses today? Whereas at the beginning of my hausfrau phase (the six-month vacation that was the second half of fourth year...there go the parentheses again) I found it interminably boring, and didn't know what to do with my day. But now I'm pretty used to it. In fact, I'm kind of enjoying being a domestic, as embarrassing as it is for me to admit. Also, I get to sleep late, go to bed late, and structure my day any way I like. This is my new norm. I don't know what I'm going to do when I actually have to start work on the 12th. * * * My Pocket PC is on its way! It just got shipped today, according to the Dell website. The best thing about getting a Pocket PC is that, since Joe has one too, he can just give me all the good programs that he downloaded. And he can be my tech support, since he knows computer things and I don't. I don't even have to enter in any addresses or phone numbers, because our friends/family list almost totally overlaps now, after the wedding, and Joe can just beam me his contact list. Freeloading makes my life easy, see. xo Michelle |
