Shrinking Violets - Part 5!

[mdrai 3]

Ok, I realize that I am 7 months late on this, but...

We just watched "This Is It" and I was truly struck by what an artistic genius MJ was and overwhelmed by how tragic his death was (yes, he's dead)... I didn't know then what I know now about how hard he was working, or even that he WAS working, & how amazing that show would've been... I feel so sorry for everyone who worked on that show that they were so close but never got to perform it... I hope tomorrow night @ the Grammy's the singers/dancers get to perform in the tribute... wow, what a waste of a life... how is it that no one could say "No" to him or be real w/him or help him... so so sad...

I will be interested in seeing the movie. I think that everyone even his harshest critic can agree that he was a extremely talented man.

I am going to bed, I hope everyone has pleasant dreams!!

Michael Jackson died?????!!!!!

I'm anxious to see the DVD also. Everyone I've heard from that has seen it has been amazed at the talent. And you're right Michelle..nobody had guts enough to intervene and say enough!!

I'm up early so I can head to church and get things ready for choir. I forsee a nap in my future today. Didn't sleep well last night for some reason.

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Hey Girls~

What an exhausting weekend. I haven't seen a movie in weeks! You know I am busy.

We have a 10am apt to put in our "official bid"...keep you posted on that! I'll try not to drone on and on about it, but just post the exciting cliff notes version of all this madness.

I have a ton of papers to grade and I don't wanna!:thumbup::thumbup: I'll pop in later!

So yesterday we were at the northern edge of the winter storm that was supposed to go through to the South of us... the official prediction was that we'd get "a dusting" of snow... & we ended up getting loads of snow! DD was at the barn & they ended up having to walk out to the main road to get picked up, because the road & driveway were too slick for cars... crazy!

So far today I'm still in pj's snuggled on the couch... have to go to the grocery store (if I can get down the driveway) but otherwise, nothing definite to do... yay!

I had no desire to see his movie, I've never liked watching music DVD's.. but I've heard so much about it, I know my mom is going to buy it, she really wants to see it, so I will watch it just to see what all the hype is about.

Meanwhile did you hear Avatar grossed 1.8 BEEELION already? My my...beat Titanic and it hasn't been out so long yet.

Pamela, did you make the offer?

Surprise surprise, my nose is running sooo much today!! I have already finished off one box of puffs, working on another......

I am in the middle of watching the movie "Fame", I am about half way through it and don't like it. Where is the Hot lunch Jam? If they don't sing The Body Electric at the end I am really going to be upset!!

I wanna see Fame. I LOVED it when I was a kid in the 70's. My fav all time song is Body Electric...sing it ALL THE TIME in the shower. Hope your nose behaves soon! Go see an ENT!!! xoxoox

I felt exactly the same way about the movie & him, Laura, so I was quite surprised by my reaction... so sad about the waste...

In Entertainment Weekly (1/29/10), they had this list, which I thought was interesting:

At $504.9 million (in domestic gross) and counting, Avatar may well be on track to pass Titanic as the top grosser of all time. But the picture looks very different when you adjust box office numbers for ticket-price inflation -- suddenly, the Na'vi plummet to No. 34 (just a few notches above Pinocchio). So who makes this Top 10?

1. Gone with the Wind, $1.49 billion

2. Star Wars, $1.31 billion

3. The Sound of Music, $1.05 billion

4. E.T., $1.04 billion

5. The Ten Commandments, $963 million

6. Titanic, $943 million

7. Jaws, $941 million

8. Doctor Zhivago, $912 million

9. The Exorcist, $813 million

10. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, $801 million

Am watching the Grammys... enjoy the fashions & crazy match-ups they do w/performances (Lady Gaga & Elton John)...

No "Body Electric"! It was like the same movie without the good songs, okay maybe the songs made the movie!!! Is Haydee having kareoke at her wedding? Pamela and I can do a duet!!

[mdrai 3]

Taylor Swift & Stevie Nicks -- now there's an unexpected combo! ...Not sure it's working...

I know I saw the original Fame... but don't remember it... hmmmmm...

Oh crap, I don't have my 3D glasses! Do you think it'll work if I cross my eyes?
