Happy humping, folks. How's the week going? I had a fantastic time at last night's Sound of Music sing along. Turns out it was not quite as I expected -- there were no drag queens, no costumes, and no rowdy groups. Instead there were some old couples and lots of women our age, as well as some random thugs, which was sort of charming. Everyone was very hesitant about the singing in the beginning, but soon we all warmed up and began to belt it. It helped that we also started heckling, like hissing when the Baroness came on the screen, and booing the Nazis. Soon we were like one big family, we the audience, and I sort of wish all movies were like that. It was so interactive. It also helped that Schmillie and I killed a bottle of wine before the "insert 2nd tape" part of the movie.
It was also just amazing to see it on the screen, fully restored. I really enjoyed the details in the scenery and the costumes that I'd never been able to see, as well as the subtle facial expressions, and laughing at Schmillie's creepy childhood crush Kurt, and my obviously gay childhood crush Friedrich. So after a shaky start, I'd say the sing along was a success.
Food today is usual, except I skipped the cereal as I wasn't hungry for it, though now, an hour after soup, I'm starving, so I think I'll eat some now. It's OK to rearrange! Oh, and I have been eating pretty heavy foods for dinners since I had so much leftover from the weekend, so it'll be Sweet & Sour Chicken for dinner tonight, but at least I'm practicing portion control. It would be good to get some exercise, but I'm so tired today after many late nights in a row that I don't think it'll happen tonight. I have DVR to catch up on after I get the veggies, anyway. Oh, but we're signing up for a winter share with our CSA, which they'd never offered before. It looks exciting -- we'll get produce, "value-added items"??, dairy (cheese, yogurt, eggs, butter, milk) and occasionally ground beef and/or chicken. And it's a monthly pickup, which makes it easier schedule-wise (though maybe not bag-carrying-wise.) I'm looking forward to local cheese THE MOSTEST.
Happy rainy, crappy Wednesday, friends. Hope you get to be lazy, too.
