They roused him with muffins
I'm sick of the dentist performing money extractions on my wallet. At least I have now finished with the dentist for 2008. No more dentist till 2009!
The last few weeks have been a bit unblogworthy really, I don’t know that my quiet weekends following departure of the many visitors really give me much to write about. I can't even talk about domesticity, because all I've done recently is pull weeds, because it's really not the right time of the year for planting, and before I can plant, I have to remove stones and weed matting, and if I do that too soon, I'll get mega quantities of weeds, which will lead to more potential lack-of-blogging about weeds.
In the absence of other content I will write about movies recently seen -
Shanghai Noon - it's a good film but not as funny the second time, particularly when you're getting frustrated by attempting to sew at the same time as watching, and
Ice Princess - starring Dawn from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the Cheerleader from Heroes, the film is a piece of Disney tween tosh. Physics geek studies the mechanics of ice skating as a means of getting a scholarship to Harvard, but then… surprise, surprise discovers she has natural talent, and has to overcome obstacles (misguided but well meaning mother, lack of money, competition from popular girl and her mother etc) to make it to the Ice skating regional semi-finals… Will she make it to the national championships? However, despite all that it was relatively enjoyable. Joan Cusack did a good job as the mother (Favourite line - 'I've made you a treat today - we're going to have pancakes with _white_ flour') and it's certainly a lot more entertaining than either Flashdance or Dirty Dancing, both of which were aimed at the same demographic in their time.
