Mamma Mia!

The one good thing about crappy weather on weekends is that you don't feel guilty spending an afternoon at the cinema. Right? Right.

My friend N hauled my butt in to see Mama Mia, more as an excuse to see the movie for the 4th time than anything else I think. Did I like it? I suppose so, in between the oka swiss marbled cheddar scenes. I love Abba as much as anybody else who grew up with them so that somewhat tempered the whole thing, but in a nutshell:

Liked: Meryl Streep, the stunning Greek scenery, the costumes and the story (fatherless girl getting married at 20, finds her mother's diary which detailed a torrid summer with three men so she has no clue which one of them is her dad, she invites them all and they show up - you get the idea of the mess!).

Didn't like: All the shouting, screaming, corny line dancing and utter chaos that reigned during the majority of the film.

It was too much of a chick flick even for me, so... be warned :-)

Next up in the evening was "Superhero Movie", the dumbest thing we had laying around (don't ask). Um. Farts, crotch bopping, more farts, styrofoam brick walls, bad acting, bad effects, bad script, even more farts and very little laughter. Superdud, The Movie. 70 minutes of your life down the drain.

Today was a family picnic out in the countryside but yet again I had to miss out cuz of a crushing migraine. Thank the frigg for Vegas, who went to take care of Melonhead this morning while I tried to get more sleep. Even drugs don't help at this point. Ugggh.

Figures that it's beautiful out today, too.

Am feeling better now but still on the verge of pain so need to take it easy. We ran a few errands and had a nice lunch (I made chocolate espresso milkshakes for dessert), he's also fighting a headache so WTF is going on! Barometric pressure absurdities, no doubt. Anybody else clutching their temples today?

OK time to go pick up my new supersexy dress, I had it altered and it's ready now. August 12th is our huge party at Club 740 in Los Angeles, it's going to be a blast! All I need now are red shoes that aren't flats nor ridiculous stilettos - you've no idea how hard those are to find. Shoemakers of the world, are you listening?? How about us girls who want a small sexy comfortable heel, huh? We exist in droves you know!

Jerks.
