Media Monday

I'm back on schedule! Yes, power was restored late Saturday night so I'm very excited about it.

I realized that I'm still talking about it and most people reading this may have mentally moved on. The thing is that we in Houston haven't really moved on yet since we're still affected by it, whether at home or work. We either still don't have electricity, or we know someone who doesn't, or we don't have electricity at work, or things in life are still modified because of the storm. I went to the grocery store last night and couldn't buy anything in the frozen section (not that I was trying to, but if I wanted to, I couldn't.) All the frozen aisles were blocked off and empty. It's just things like that that show us that we're not back to normalacy, even if we have electricity, water, and no flooding.



Anywho.



Two movies I've watched lately: Mama Mia, and P.S. I Love You.



I've never seen Mama Mia in any capacity (movie, show, Las Vegas show, etc.) so I didn't really know what to expect. I liked it enough, but maybe not enough to buy the DVD. I like musicals, don't get me wrong, but there were times where I wish she would have just said it rather than sang it. Oh well.



P.S. I Love You was so sad!! And had something of a surprise ending. I liked it, and I might consider getting the DVD, not sure yet. I think Hilary Swank did well with her character and Lisa Kudrow was hilarious.



Interestingly, these two movies have something in common, albeit cliche. The main female character is dealing with something and she has two friends to help her along the way. And one of them is funny and kind of into herself. Ok, I don't feel like getting too analytical about the movies or comparisons, so that's the end of that.
