I haven't seen ET either. Sounds like I'm the lucky one!
Well most of the PC is kept to the movies and the wretched 'Gay' weeks (although maybe Gandalf will come to one of them, grrrr!). There are a number of times during the year when there are no crowds at Disney (or the other theme parks). As I remember, this includes January, after the holidays, until Spring breaks start, in late February; May(?); September until Christmas, except Thanksgiving week. At these periods, you usually have no crowds, and no lines at all, except for short ones at the most popular rides.
Florida barbecue is smoked, and served dry, with the beef and pork sliced, with several different sauces on the side, according to your taste.
OK...now I have to reveal what a stick-in-the-mud I am. :) I don't care for "amusement" parks or going on rides. I'd end up spending a lot of money just to be bored all day.
It's funny you mention that. My older and just younger sister have developed a love of Celtic music, as I have, though we all came to it seperately and without the others knowing about it. Our maternal grandmother was Irish, but she never talked about her Irish roots; I'm not even sure when her family came over. Her paternal grandparents, the Selbys, were from Kentucky and her great grandfather was a colonel in the Confederate Army, but I'm not sure about the maternal side, the Dolans. I don't think anyone in our family ever asked her about or did any sort of search.
My younger sister loves to go to Celtic fests and Highland games, neither of which I have ever done. Living in MA, I could avail myself of some live Celtic music, but I just don't feel like schleping into Boston!
No I hadn't seen it yet... and haven't had a chance to watch it all the way through yet either... But I was getting into it before I had to leave on errands.
Well, I went to town to buy the suddenly-needed new TV! (Remember my sound finally went out on my old one?) Well, since the old one was a 25 inch and I felt it was a good size, I walked into the store ready to buy a 27 inch and be better off than I was.
Well. Once I saw the choices and the bigger sets, I splurged and bought the 32 inch! It is still in the truck... I need to put it on a different piece of furniture than the old one was on... luckily I have my old desk that will work nicely. But I have no idea how I am gonna get it unloaded. It is in a big box and it is heavy! Called a couple friends, but no one is home. hmmmm.
Oh! - and I found Fiddle on the Roof (My now-2nd favorite movie) on DVD and bought that too!
That's very interesting, SC! I feel the same way about the Victorian idea of fluff angels versus the idea of the Biblical Angel. When anyone in the Bible is visited by an Angel, the Angel's first words are "fear not". To me, that means that the creature before them is not some sort of wispy, romantic thing, but a awesome, powerful being of whom they would be afraid!
Does that mean "Thats outrageous! That's silly!"?
It also looks like the style of one of my favorite artists, Will Moses. I think he is the great grandson of Grandma Moses. I just love this style of art. I'm going to have to keep a lookout for more Brueghel!
Well I don't know if you have ever been to a theme park, but the 'rides' in Disneyworld are not much like ordinary amusement parks or state and county fairs. Many of them are meant as educational experiences, presented in an entertaining way. Epcot is more like a permanent World's Fair than it is like an amusement park.
