| What can I possibly say here? |
Well.
Here we are again.
Rob is still in Australia as of this writing...
and this is his last stop before he gets some time off.
Is it wrong for me to want that?
Not only for Robert who must be exhausted...
but for me.
Because I'm exhausted, too.
I swear.
I can't keep up with all the pictures and videos and interviews.
I'm doing a rather shitty job of fangirling lately.
BUT.
I did finally get to see WFE over the weekend.
And I don't have much to add that hasn't already been said.
The movie was beautiful to watch.
Robert was beautiful to watch.
The cast was great...
Especially Tai.
Funny how you just want to hug her...
I thought Robert did a great job in this movie.
I really did.
He gets stronger and better with every movie.
So I can't wait to see whatever is next.
I think what I love most about Rob's acting...
Is that he does so much of it... with just his face.
The way he looks
The way he smiles
The way his eyes look pained... or happy... or well up with tears.
He shows EVERYTHING on his beautiful face.
I love that about him.
I loved the circus. The animals.
The scenery.
It was all so gorgeous to look at.
Favorite parts?
1. Robert.
He not only showed that he can hold his own
against high caliber actors...
He looks absolutely fantastic doing it.
Sweaty. Dirty. T-shirts.
Polished. Tux. Leather jacket.
And what the hell...
The necklace he wore...
Why is that so damn sexy??
2. Robert and Tai.
So completely adorable.
Rob's love of animals shows in every scene with her.
LOVE.
3. Christoph.
He plays a helluva bad guy, doesn't he?
Some people just have that face...
that voice...
That demanding presence.
Brilliant.
4. I thought Reese looked gorgeous
and did a good job.
But I was really too busy looking at Robert.
5. The Hyenas.
Yes.
Gotta tell you I thought it was hilarious.
And the best part?
From an interview with Madame Le Figaro
"And there were a couple of hyenas as well...
They were...uh... that was more complicated to be around them.
Cuz they just want to eat you"
Can I just say...
Rob knows.
Oh YES... He knows.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
 |
| YES... |
 |
| And YES! |
OK.
What didn't I like about the movie?
I pretty much liked the whole thing.
I enjoyed it from start to finish.
It made me cry.
It made me laugh.
It did what it was supposed to do...
But I will be honest.
Not a lot of chemistry with Rob and Reese.
Yeah yeah...
I'm sure some people just think I don't want to see it...
But I didn't.
The kisses were as innocent as you can get
No real passion.
No portraying how much they wanted each other.
It was all... kinda generic.
Like...
Oh well... have to throw this love scene in here.
But other than the lack of chemistry?
LOVE
LOVE
LOVE
LOVE
LOVE
Water For Elephants.

| Why do I want to see Edward and Bella married so much? |
Final thoughts.
The MTV movie awards are coming in June (I think)
I've always made it abundantly clear that I don't get
into the whole voting thing...
But I just find it absolutely HIGHLARIOUS
that the people who scream
"NO ONE CURR"
are the ones going to MTV and voting
and voting
and voting
against Rob and Kristen.
Are the ones who screech the loudest
most vile, disgusting insults...
who bring the most crazy.
So yeah...
GO CRAZY... CRAZY.
Vote
Vote
Vote
Because only people who don't 'CURR'
bother with things like that.
Right?
 |
| Just Because. |
I finally got my copy of
Waiting For Forever.
So...
I can't wait to see Tom.
And that's what I am going to do right now!
This post is brought to you by the letter *T*
T for Tom
LOVE HIM.
T for Truth.
Robert wants to be with Kristen.
T for Only Time will Tell.
Where will Rob and Kristen turn up.
We already know it will be
TOGETHER!
Bye for now
Sweet post, Rose :) Anxious to hear what you think about WFF....I'm watching that sometime this weekend, too.
ReplyDeleteHappy CrazyBusyFriday, Roseland!
<3
Ooh first post lucky me ;-)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all TFIF....finally the weekend!
Doesn't look like I'll get to see WFE this weekend after all which is a shame. I'm sure I will love it though when I do.
I'm with you Rose, I'm so glad Rob gets to go home to Kris and spend some time with his love....it makes me smile to think of them sharing happy times.
Massive love from me to them both.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Liza
As soon as I saw the hyena part in WFE, I knew you were going to comment on it. I just KNEW it!
ReplyDelete(Also, Bear looks hyena-like. I think he's sending a message to tell the hyenas "I own you, like I own Bear." Course, that's just speculation. LOL)
Happy Friday everyone!
ReplyDeleteIf us fans need a break from all the WFE promo overload I can't even begin to imagine how Rob feels!
Hopefully he will get home tonight or tomorrow and get some much needed rest & relaxation! Spend some time chilling at home with Kristen & Bear, that has to sound wonderful to him at this point. All that traveling & work & screaming people in such a short amount of time, I don't see how they do it! They must crash when they finally get home!
Hope you are all well & have a great Friday! I can't wait for work to be over & I can sleep alllll day tomorrow! :)
Hehehe Liza! :D Hope you have a great weekend! <3
ReplyDeleteHa ha not quick enough...make that second post ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to be second to the lovely Kay <3
ROSE.... I LOVE the Hopping BUNNY!!!!! Now...about the love scene....I'm assuming you read the book...It was rather "graphic"...I will leave it at that...I can't help but wonder if the "powers that be" were so concerned about the "ratings" that they ended up doing something much worse...downplaying the love scene to the point of "lackluster"...too bad...Rob has already shown in Remember Me...that he can do a steamy sex scene tastefully. I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't know that Rob and Reese don't have "chemistry"...more that I think it is more that whoever was in control of the final product tamed it down to allow the film to be viewed by a wider audience...unfortunately it certainly doesn't show what he can do....
ReplyDeleteNice post, Rose..thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way about Tai, she really does make you want to hug her :)
Wishing Rob safe travels back home to Kristen and Bear, also hoping he gets some well deserved time off!
Hi Everyone!
Rob looks exhausted, let's hope the 3 of them get some peace and quiet when he gets back. I should be seeing WFE this weekend finally :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Rose.
ReplyDeleteHello to Kay, Liza, TMI, Groovie, Super, & anyone else here.
I am so ready for the week end!
Hi Kay, Liza, Groovie, Angelica, Super, and anyone I missed :)
ReplyDeleteDK- A shout out to you from earlier, have fun and enjoy the movie...again :)
Have a great weekend everyone!
Hi Angelica and Rhonda. You 2 snuck in while I was posting! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat's with the bunnies???? Did I miss something or is this an "only Rose knows" thing?
Hi dottie- Lol, I don't know about the bunnies, but their cute :)
ReplyDeleteI hope Rob is on an airplane at this moment heading home for a few weeks off before he has to begin filming again. What a whirlwind tour and Rob was perfect along the way.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Rob...Job Well Done!!
Rose... Glad you found the hyenas to be hysterical too!
Love that new pic of Rob and Kristen in BD...
now that is CHEMISTRY.
RHONDA, yes the bunnies are very cute. I don't know alot about bunnies, but I have heard a few things, like how rapidly they reproduce.... lol
ReplyDeleteSUPER, you made a good point about the chemistry. Since RK have such extraordinary chemistry, I wonder if it makes their chemistry w/others pale by comparison?(even if the comparison is unintentional) It would be unfair if that were true because what they have together onscreen is such a rare thing. Not many pairings have it and certainly not in multiple movies together. I don't know, I'm probably way off. It was just a random thought. I'm probably not even making sense!
I think now we know why Rob tugs on his hair so much. It is not enough that he had to do a whirlwind promo but the endless screaming and redundant questions must be causing him to want to pull his hair out. I hope he has a quiet and safe journey home.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, an early Happy Mother's Day to those of you who travel. I was to be travelling, but now I'm not.
Happy Mother's Day Rose, and all you gorgeous mothers here on Roseland. Let's hope everyone gets to spend Mother's Day with their loved ones.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend ladies! And some gentlemen.

ReplyDelete*sniff sniff* hey did someone step in something? ohhhh she's back, wtf? That boy has to be tired, I can't imagine that schedule. He and Reese both looked tired in the last interviews, totally understandable. @Super, I totally agree. I think they were so concerned with the rating they neglected some of the passion. It read totally different in the book, and they cut ALOT out of the scene. I actually liked them together, but I've read other reviews that mentioned no chemistry. He portrayed the character very passionately, you could feel his pain and indecision, when August was abusing Rosie. Your right about seeing it all on his face. Thanks Rose.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone,
ReplyDeleteRose, I take your point about the chemistry between Rob and Reese, but truthfully it didn’t bother me – even though I suppose the romance is a key underpinning of the story. I think that some people tend to pigeon-hole Rob on his looks. They see him solely as the good looking “romantic” lead and I was really glad to see him in a role that was so much more than that. There were so many more facets to his character shown through his relationship with August, his relationship with the animals, etc.. To see him shine in a character with so many more dimensions was very satisfying, and made the movie a real success for me. I’m not sure I’m explaining this well, but I hope you get the idea. It showed that Rob can do well in parts that extend beyond the romantic lead. And the romantic scenes had a sort of chaste feel to them that I might associate with other films depicting the 30’s.
As others have mentioned, I hope Rob gets some down time before Cosmopolis, but I fear it may not be as long as we might hope. I am anything but an expert on film making, but isn’t there usually a period of pre-production? Wouldn’t Rob need to be heading off to wherever they will be filming in advance of the reported start of principal photography (May 23 or 24th)?? However, it works out, I hope he gets some well deserved rest and time with loved ones.
Super – enjoy your conference and safe travels.
Manjen – nice to see you pop in.
Oh and I missed Honey – what did she have to say? I need some comic relief…
I hope everyone has a wonderful day.
Hi, Rose!! Great post
ReplyDeleteThough, I'm loving waking up to all the gorgoeus pics and interviews of Rob every morning, I am glad WFE promo has endend, because Rob looks tired. Hopefully he will get back home soon to Kristen and Bear, and have some well deserve rest until he starts shooting Cosmopolis. Wishing Rob a safe flight back home.
I am going to see WFE on Sunday. I was supposed to go yesterday, but my best friend asked me to wait so she could go with me.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day.
Hugs
Hi Katy, Freddie, Super and those I've missed.
ReplyDeleteI think the director wanted the movie to be so much like a movie of that time period. If you've seen any of those movies, the love scenes are rather chaste. To be honest, I thought Reese played her character to be more aloof and hardened than the Marlena of the book. Again, that was possibly under the director's guidance. I really don't know anything about character interpretation so that's just a guess.
I loved the movie no matter what. It was beautiful.
WARNING for those who haven't seen the movie -- spoilers ahead.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the movie I'll admit that I thought the sexual chemistry was not what it might have been. But then again I don't think that Marlena and Jacob's relationship was about sexual attraction so much as it was about two people who were both displaced souls -- one because of a bad choice and one because of fate. And they found in each other that which defined each of their places in life. Marlena helped Jacob realize that he was meant to protect and care for creatures -- both animal and human -- who needed someone stronger than themselves to keep them safe and happy. And Jacob helped Marlena find the adventure and excitement she was looking for when she ran away, but in a more grounded and fulfilling context. Seen through this prism, the muted tone of the sex scenes struck the right chord for me. It spoke to a connection that could -- and did -last a lifetime, versus a passion that would burn out.
For me, the far more critical scenes in terms of "selling" the love story -- and the ones that made the most lasting impression -- were the ones at the end -- the black and white footage of their life together in the circus with their kids, the gorgeous shot of Marlena on a horse, and the look on Jacob's face when he saw her riding at their home. That's where I needed to see the connection and be able to believe that these two people could have stayed together for 50 years -- and that's were Rob and Reese really knocked it out of the ballpark. I think that as two performers who both came from solid and loving families, they called on what they each know about lasting love to create those vignettes. And the end result was incredibly vivid and moving.
And I thought that in those scenes, the chemistry was perfect.
Did I see Honey s Back?
ReplyDeleteHey Penny - I hope you are well. I totally agree with your thoughts on WFE trying to fit movies of that era. My take on the "chasteness" of the love scenes was the same.
ReplyDeletePR Pro - SPOILER WARNING....You are so right about the scenes at the end. They were very impactful. I was already weepy at that point after hearing Hal Holbrook's emotional recounting of Rosie's and Marlena's passing.
Hi Katy - hope all is well with you.
I totally agree with what you said about chemistry. I said the same thing to my friend. I just could not see it at all. I told he had more chemistry in Remember Me. It just seemed pretty tame.But overall the film was fantastic and so worth the time and money to go see.
ReplyDeleteReal pr pro- What a great analysis. I would have to agree, especially about the ending :)
ReplyDeleteHi Freddie, PL, Katy and 30 :)
Rhonda -- I wanted to be a film critic but PR flack was as far as I got!
ReplyDeletePr pro- Lol, you would have been good at it!
ReplyDeleteSpoiler.....
ReplyDeleteSo very well stated real pr pro. I join you in having wanted the last few minutes, the black and white photo "memories", to go on for more time. It was a beautiful testament to the lifelong love affair and commitment between Jacob and Marlena and a brilliant addition to the film version.
Hey 30 - yeah, I wanted to know what Honey said. I missed it. As I said above, I could use her kind of humour about now...
ReplyDeleteHey Rhonda - I hope all is well.
Olivia - beautifully put as always.
Hi Olivia- ((Hugs))
ReplyDeleteFreddie- I'm great, hope you are too :)
Hi Freddie....since you asked about you know who...basically she praised Kristen's acting skills because she has great CHEMISTRY with Jesse, Dakota, etc.
ReplyDeleteOf course, you can imagine what she said about Rob and I will leave it at that because Honey is an idiot.
Hi Rhonda,Penny, Olivia, 30 and all. Heading out for dinner, after all it is friday nite!!
Hey Rhonda - I'm good, thanks. I sooooo glad it is Friday. For some reason it has been a tiring week? Anything new/fun in your world?
ReplyDeleteHey Hope - thanks for updating me on "you know who". I'm glad now that I missed it.
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well with you. Does your family have plans for celebrating Mother's Day?
Freddie -- basically Honey said that Rob can't act but maybe he will improve his acting skills over time.
ReplyDeleteThe thought of Honey telling anyone that they have a deficiency that will improve over time reminds me of the famous story about an exchange between Winston Churchill and Lady Astor at a dinner party.
Churchill had had a few too many drinks, prompting Lady Astor to call him out on his lack of sobriety, saying with all the disdain and hauteur for which she was well known, "Mr Churchhill, you are drunk!" Slowly raising his gaze from his spotted dick (the pudding that is) Churchill replied, "Yes, I am Madam. And you are very ugly. But in the morning, I shall be sober."
Freddie...Ha Ha...shall I email you my husband's phone #??!!! They better have something planned for me!!LOL...I LOVE being a mom but it is a thankless job at times. 24/7 indeed!! NO, really, I usually get breakfast in bed, dinner out and a gift like a day at the spa.
ReplyDeleteFreddie- Not much new, just finalizing my Summer vacation plans :)
ReplyDeleteHope- Enjoy your dinner and your Mother's day :)
Real Pr Pro- Lol, love it!
PR Pro - thanks for filling me in. Perfect analogy. Mr. Churchill sure had a way with words.
ReplyDeleteHope - LOL. While I'm not a mother myself, I've seen through my mom's sacrifices that mothers truly are unsung heroes. I hope it turns out to be a wonderful day - all that you could hope for and more.
Hi Rhoda! Hi Freddie! Hello all!
ReplyDeleteI was just shocked too see her post that's all. (I think they forgot too give her, her meds today)
Hi everyone....**waves** and hugs.
ReplyDeleteExtra hug for you Rhonda.
Hope, have a lovely dinner and evening out.
Real pr pro, very good joke.
Am joining Rose, Angelica, Liza, Hope and all the rest of the lovely Roselanders who have mentioned special wishes for safe traveling home for Rob and major wishes for peace, calm, rest, happiness, and beautiful private time for Rob and Kristen before they are super busy again with their next work assignments.
Have been waiting for the Graham Norton interview to be posted on you tube and as of now there are only two short teasers. Well worth watching....."highlarious"! I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard after the second one.

Manjen....excited for you, your son and family about his upcoming high school graduation. One of life's monumental and happy moments.
Rose, thank you for the great posts. That sweet little Bear is the cutest puppy. He looks, happy, healthy and is one "lucky dog". His coat is beautiful, love the brindle ...mixture of all the colors. Wonder how large he will be when he is full grown. He has some darlling, wonky long legs to grow into.
I may be in and out for a bit this evening.
SPOILER ALERT
ReplyDeletePR PRO, Your analysis was just right. The impression that there was a lack of chemistry was probably more about people's expectations being different from the direction of the movie. I agree that Hal Holbrook bookending the movie was perfect.
As for the sticky one, what a shame she went back off her meds. ;)
Hi Rose,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your "review" of WFE, I liked the movie (visually stunning) and I think Rob is getting better with each performance, he was perfect as Jacob. But I agree with the lack of chemistry btw Rob and Reese, the romantic scenes didn't seem very natural to me. I'm talking about their on screen chemistry, because I have to say I'm a little bit surprised with their off screen "chemistry". I think I've never seen Rob acting so confortable and playful with anyone in public (yeah, not even with Kristen... it's different, because they're always so guarded) and I really hate to say this, but in some pics they actually seem a little bit flirty. I'm not saying that they were being flirty (I don't think they were, just that it looked like it). I know that they're trying to sell a movie where critics have been harsh about their chemistry, but I felt a little bit "uncomfortable" when I saw some of the pics (where it looks like he's checking her out).
I wish Rob would be a little bit more cautious when he's being photographed, if he doesn't want to feed stupid rumours. I read a lot of crap in the last few days, people insinuating that he and reese have something going on, that he can't take his eyes off her, the usual bullshit...
Honestly, I'm happy that the promo is finally over...
Rose, I feel exactly the same way you do about WFE.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen so many critics talk about the lack of chemistry before. I guess it is integral to a movie when the love story is one of the main plotlines. They probably knew that there wasn't enough "love " there after the film wrapped because we know their love scene and the end montage were additions from the reshoots. I don't understand what happened with Rob and Reese's chemistry in the movie. They seem to have great chemistry during the press tour. They have a fun, easygoing vibe, so why didn't it work? No, I don't think it's the age difference because I thought Reese still looked beautiful and youthful (and you don't need it for sparks to fly). What makes for great movie pairings? You don't have to be in love like R/K because according to Catherine Hardwicke, they clicked on screen the first day they met. It's not neccessary that the costars have to like each other. Look at Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh in Gone with the Wind. Apparently they hated each other, but as Rhett and Scarlett, they may be the ultimate legendary movie couple. Does anyone have any ideas?
Hey dottie - maybe she just got released from the "hospital" - hence her sudden reappearance.
ReplyDeleteHey FREDDIE (I want to call you Fredster) I think she may not be the only escapee...
ReplyDeletedottie - I like it - the "fredster". Go for it.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think you're right....
OK Fredster it is! LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Freddie and Dottie - Must be a full moon tonight...
ReplyDeleteHey Angelica - It's been a while since we've had those kinds of visitors, hasn't it? Maybe there's been too much goodness lately.... or a full moon!
ReplyDeleteHey Angelica - hope all is well. Yeah, is it a full moon??
ReplyDeleteGood evening ladies.......Full moon, and things that make you go hmmmm. :)
ReplyDeletedottie - LOL. Great minds...
ReplyDeleteHey Annie! Hopefully they got it off their chest and moved on.
ReplyDeleteHi Dottie. :)
ReplyDeleteOne can only hope. If not, we are here to assist. :)
Hi Annie - how are you?
ReplyDeleteAngelica and dottie - I just realized that I repeated back the exact thing you both said. Sorry about that. I obviously need to improve my skills in multi-tasking.
And what is their name...wait for it...M.
ReplyDeleteShocking isn't it?
Hi Penny Lane, Freddie, Angelica. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ladies- Definitely, full moon :)
ReplyDeleteHi Penny - it looks like they're tag-teaming..
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Penny Lane, There's just something about that letter. At least they're consistent.
ReplyDeleteHi Annie- Are you feeling better?
ReplyDeleteHey there, Rhonda!
ReplyDeletePL - I know - SHOCKER!!
ReplyDeleteHi Annie!
Freddie - We're clearly all on the same wavelength :)
Hey Rhonda.......Necessities for me are tissue packs and nasal spray. LOL.
ReplyDeleteBut this time it is "M." (with a period). So that makes it totally different.....
ReplyDeleteHi dottie, Annie, Freddie, Rhonda, Angelica,
ReplyDeleteI think we got a drive by. Perhaps our talk of chemistry or lack of made them feel we'd be receptive.
I think bottom line, did you like the movie? If yes, then chemistry or not, it didn;t seem to affect your viewing experience.
Hi Dottie and Angelica :)
ReplyDeleteAnnie- Awwww, hopefully, it will get better soon :)
Freddie- Lol, somehow...I'm thinking it's still the same :)
Hi Penny :)
ReplyDeleteAnnie I'm sorry you aren't feeling well.
ReplyDeletePenny you are right. The movie was wonderful. I didn't think about the chemistry until I read other's impressions. Rose made a good point that it was just one small part of the movie and overall the movie was great. That's the bottom line.
:) Thanks Dottie. It's just with seasonal allergies. More an annoyance than anything else.
ReplyDeleteI hope Sargent Syd is on patrol tonight and the next few days. I am not dealing with this crazy ass again.
ReplyDeleteI'm making Prozac, Xanax,Chocolate chip cookie dough ,vodka,rum, whiskey, beer and moonshine martinis. Anyone else want one ?
ReplyDeleteRose, great post, as usual. Rob looks very tired, and I am glad this tour is over. I hope he gets some rest before he has to go back to work. I know he is looking forward to getting home to Kris and Bear.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed WFE. Rob did a wonderful job and looked really great doing it. I loved the elephant, and Hal Holbrook brought tears to my eyes. I didn't see much chemistry between Reese and Rob, but it did not take away from the movie. I will probably go and see it at least one more time.
Have a good weekend Rose, and Happy Mother's Day to all mothers in Roseland.
Penny Lane
ReplyDeleteI use the letter M because it's the first letter of my name. And I didn't wrote the comment made by "J", if that's what you are insinuating, I don't know who she/he is.
I just read my comment again, and it didn't sound well, sorry (my english is not perfect). I'm not a hater, I'm a fan of both Rob and Kristen and I believe they're in a serious relationship.
What I was trying to say is that I think it's annoying that people are commenting that Rob and Reese were being flirty during the promo and that he's checking her out. I think that's disrespectful to Kristen. I agree that it seems like they were in some pictures and interviews (because they are so confortable and playful with each other), BUT, I DON'T think they were, I did say that.
I was surprised with their off screen "chemistry" because I didn't know they were such good friends, that's all. I don't think there's something wrong with that, and I like Reese too.
I said that Rob should be more careful when's being photographed because the haters pick every little thing to spread stupid rumours. They're insinuating that there's something going on btw them, and that's always annoying. I shouldn't have said that, that sounded harsh, and it's not my business anyway.
And I agreed with Rose regarding the on screen chemistry btw Rob and Reese in WFE (it's my opinion), BUT I liked the movie, I've seen it twice so far.
Nice post Rose. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHope Rob gets to have some well deserved rest soon. As much as I have enjoyed seen him, I cannot even begin to imagine how exhausting this whole promotion experience must have been.
Hope he gets reunited with the beautiful Kristen and the adorable Bear soon.
Best wishes to all the lovely and sane people of Roseland.
Let's Sing!
ReplyDeleteHow Can I Keep From Singing
Eva Cassidy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_odw0OeU21w
My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear it's music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?
Oh though the tempest loudly roars,
I hear the truth, it liveth.
Oh though the darkness 'round me close,
Songs in the night it giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
When tyrants tremble in their fear
And hear their death knell ringing,
When friends rejoice both far and near
How can I keep from singing?
My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
How can I keep from singing?
Lord, how can I keep from singing?
Oh, how can I keep from singing?
Thank you/prosepp
Let's Go Sailing!
ReplyDeleteCome Sail Away
Styx:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm-Vh3j8sys
I'm sailing away
Set an open course for the virgin sea
I've got to be free
Free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board I'm the captain so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord I'll try
To carry on
I look to the sea
Reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can
To carry on
A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope And this is what they said
They said come sail away
Come sail away
Come sail away with me
I thought that they were angels but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail away
Come sail away
Come sail away with me
Thank you/Joelmp89

Things will get better
If you just hold my hand
Nothing can come in between us
If you just hold
Hold my, hold my, hold my hand.
The nights are getting darker (Hold my hand)
And there's no peace inside
(Hold my hand)
So why make our lives harder
(Hold my hand)
By fighting love, tonight.
So if you just hold my hand
Baby I promise that I'll do

Things will get better
If you just hold my hand
Nothing can come in between us
If you just hold
Hold my, hold my, hold my hand.

Well, I heard the news
There's good rockin' tonight

As tight as I can
Tonight she'll know

Behind the barn
Don't you be afraid
I'll do you no harm
I want you to bring along
My rockin' shoes
Cause tonight I'm gonna
Rock away all the blues
I heard the news
There's good rockin' tonight
Well, let's rock, rock, rock, rock
C'mon and rock, rock, rock, rock
Well, let's rock
All my blues away
Well, I heard the news
Everybody's rockin' tonight

Here we go, come with me
There's a world out there that we should see
Take my hand, close your eyes
With you right here, a rocketeer
Let's fly
Fly, fly, fly
Up, up
Here we go, go
Up up
Where we stop, nobody knows
Where we go, we don't need roads
'cause where we stop, nobody knows
To the stars, if you really want it
Got a jetpack with your name on it
Above the clouds and the atmosphere
Say the words and we're outta here
Hold my hand if you're feeling scared
Here we go, come with me
There's a world out there that we should see
Take my hand, close your eyes
With you right here
A rocketeer
Let's fly
Baby, we can stay fly like a g6
Shop the streets of Tokyo
Get your fly kicks
Girl you're always on mind
Got my head up in the sky
And I'm never looking down
I'm feeling priceless
Where we're at
Only few have known
(...) super mario
I hope this works out (cardio)
'til then let's fly
I ain't never been to space before
But I ain't never seen a face like yours
You made me feel I could touch the planets
You want the moon watch me grab it
See, I ain't never seen a star this close
You got me stuck by the way you glow
I'm like, oh, oh, oh, oh
Here we go, come with me
There's a world out there that we should see
Take my hand, close your eyes
With you right here
A rocketeer
Let's fly
Fly, fly, fly
Up, up here we go
Go, up up
Here we go go
Thank you/Cire408
great post! Seems like i have a lot of catching up to do. So, so many things happened while i voluntarily exiled myself from the world wide web :)

Press your lips to mine
Let's kiss
For that thrill divine
As we realize
There's no one but you and me
I find your arms
So inviting to me
So what am I to do?
The thrill of your touch
Is exciting to me
While our hearts are reeling
While we have this feeling
Let's love
Till the end of time
Let's love
Leave the world behind
Now that we have found
The wonderful glory of
Two magic words, " Let's love"
Let's love

@Gwen
ReplyDeleteHey, it's so good to see you here!
I am well.
What friend?
DK!!!
ReplyDeleteOh the friend you said that just lost her hubby.
@Gwen
ReplyDeleteI'm going to spend a week with her soon. She's as good as can be hoped for, as new as it is for her. Thanks for asking.
What are you doing this weekend?
DK
ReplyDeleteAre you going out of town? Hope you have a great then. I think country side will be a good destination for both of you.
Me, umm just hanging out on my bed i guess. Im at work as of now and after that gonna have my hair cut.
oops, i mean great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteMorning Roseland :D
ReplyDeleteNice post Rose :)
I read all your "chemistry" comments and, my fault, also the Spoiler Alert. I just can't help it..
I can't say what i think yet cause I'll go watch WFE tonight (can't wait!!!) so I guess I'll let you know..
In the meantime I have to say that since I watched Twilight I always found myself making comparisons with very other movie or tv show I watched. I'm not just talking about Rob and Kristen movies.. I'm talking general here. Of course they just had it from the first time they saw each other.. but I haven't found that kind of chemistry in no one else, not even movies with people who are real couple in real life..
So of course making comparison with them is not a good thing but I agree two people don't have to be in love to have chemistry..
Speaking of "lack of chemistry" I always forgot to ask if anyone here has watched Red Hiding Hood..
I did and really liked it.. but found that Shiloh guy so arrogant from the first time he appeared on screen. I though it was some prejudice of mine because of how he had talked about K but then, some friends of mine who of course didn't know about it, confirmed me that they had the same impression.
I couldn't picture him at all as an Edward.. he looked so full of himself and self-concentrated even in moments that were supposed to be sweet..
And I thought Kristen was so right saying before you have to make a movie you should be intimidated and humble..
If that was how he showed to the audition.. I just can see why there was no spark at all LOL
Surely he was one of the "only trying to pose" guys haha.
DK- your DJ skills always know when it's the right moment to show up, and do it great :D
@Gwen
ReplyDeleteWe'll be in the big city of Minneapolis, and then near the Big Lake, and finally, in the country doing hoedown dancing, like we like.
There is a memorial celebration first, and then winging it, on wings of song.
Like this.....
On Wings of Song

@Fio
ReplyDeleteI have seen Red Riding Hood and liked it. Quite lovely to look at and rather intriguing.
Have a great time watching WFE.
Today, I saw it for the 3rd time.
I was even more completely involved with and drawn into, the place, time and people of the story. Didn't notice any actors, acting.
And I don't ask for anything, more than that, of anything.
DK
ReplyDeleteThat would be great. Its nice to spend the weekends out.
Good morning Fiorels!
DK- yes, the story really catches your attention :)
ReplyDeleteThanks and enjoy your 3rd vision as well :)
Study is waiting..
talk to you later ladies :)
i haven't watch WFE yet, maybe come weekend.
ReplyDeleteAnd Hello gwen :) sorry.. I missed your post hehe

Pride can stand a thousand trials
The strong will never fall
But watching stars without you
My soul cried
Heaving heart is full of pain
oh, oh, the aching.
'Cause I'm kissing you, oh.
I'm kissing you, oh
Touch me deep
Pure and true
Gift to me forever
'Cause I'm kissing you, oh
I'm kissing you, oh
Where are you now?
'Cause I'm kissing you.
I'm kissing you, oh.
Thank you/MizJamz
Hey DK can you play Train's Save me San Francisco for me. I just heard it from a radio and I love it ;)
ReplyDelete@Gwen
ReplyDeleteYou're going to see WFE next week, you said?
And, tonight, hang around in your bedroom? Watching Korean films?
Tell me a few titles, so I can check them out, would you? Foreign films really appeal to me.
It's almost time for you to be done with work today, hooray!
@Gwen
ReplyDeleteYes, for you, anything!
DK- you got that right. Try the original version (korean) of My Sassy Girl, it is more good than the HW version, then there is Stairway to Heaven, a real tear jerker and the Full House, a hilarious one. Well, that's a lot, lol.
ReplyDeleteDK, where do you go? I'll be out of the office minutes from now. Did you just passed out on me? lol
ReplyDeleteFor Gwen, Let's Have Some Fun!
ReplyDeleteSave Me San Francisco
Train:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj7NnR_QJNQ
I used to love the tenderloin
Until I made some tender coin
And then I met some ladies from Marin
We took the highway
To the one up the coast
To catch some sun
That left me
With these blisters on my skin
Don’t know what I was on
But I think it grows in Oregon
So I kept on going, going on right through
I drove into Seattle rain
Fell in love
Then missed the train
That could have took me
Right back home to you
I've been high
I've been low
I've been yes
And I've been oh hell no!
I've been rock ‘n roll and disco,
Won’t you save me San Francisco?
Every day so caffienated
I wish they were Golden Gated
Fillmore couldn’t feel more miles away
So wrap me up return to sender
Lets forget this five year bender
Take me to my city by the bay!
I never knew all that I had
Now Alcatraz don’t sound so bad
At least they have a hella fine Merlot
If I could wish upon a star
I would hitch a cable car
To the place that I can always call my own!
I've been up, I've been down,
I've been so damn lost since you’re not around,
I been reggae and calypso
won’t you save me San Francisco?
To tell you the truth
I miss everything, everything
It’s a wild, wild beautiful world
But there’s a wide eyed girl back there
And she means everything, everything
I've been stop
I've been go
I've been yes
And I've been oh, hell no!
Save me San Franciso
Won’t you save me San Francisco?
Thank you/mathew349
@Gwen
ReplyDeleteThanks for the film suggestions.
I've been busy finding the correct lyrics for the song, for so many were wrong. Then I have to re-edit, re-type and all that rot.
Great song! Will be checking out Train, so more songs soon.
No, I am not going off of Roseland yet. If you need to leave, you know I'll miss ya.
DK- Thanks for the song, love it! Do check their album, great songs.
ReplyDeleteI thought you hit the sack already, lol
@Gwen
ReplyDeleteDo I usually just disappear without saying goodbye? Sillybilly!
DK- LOL. Im thinking what hairstyle should i have. Maybe a short one since its summer time and its hot. Its hard to have a long hair these time of day
ReplyDeleteWell I can not believe it, Night Owls!
ReplyDeleteHello DK,Gwen and I see I missed Fio!
Morning Birdie! Wa dap? Lol
ReplyDelete@Birdie
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, yes, tis the NO's and you are one, too.
I'm slipping on my early sleeping, since it is Saturday, my madhatter day.
@Gwen
Yes, cut it but not too short, for I like how shiny it is in the FB pics.
@Gwen
ReplyDeletePost your pic here or after the new hairdo!
Gwen, what have you been up to? Anything exciting?
ReplyDeleteDK, is that clock of yours having trouble adjusting?
@Birdie
ReplyDeleteNo clock ticks for DK. I tell the clock, to tick tock. So it goes, and then I do, too. Perhaps.
@Gwen & Birdie
ReplyDeleteI told my son yesterday, that I may be working again. He almost fell off of the highchair! (We were in a bar)
He had to ask, who would I be working for, and wasn't that a silly thing?
I said, why, no one! And he wondered what I meant.
So, I told him I may make hats...
It's the I, that's the why, and not the who, for that would be me, and it would be true.
Did he think that was a good idea or not really get it,being a man?
ReplyDeleteI think you have the creative spirit to do this and after the Wedding you should strike while the iron is hot!
DK- maybe tom on fb.
ReplyDeleteBirdie- nothing much exciting to do. Still searching for a place to go.
Good morning from rainy England!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say I watched The Graham Norton Show last night. It was brilliant, so funny. Rob was fab and I love Hugh Laurie too so it was a double win for me :)
I spoke to my mum this morning and she had also watched it, she said Rob was a 'charming young man'!.
High praise! lol
Lots of love,
Liza
@Birdie
ReplyDeleteFunny, but he did not react to the hat-making, only the working for myself.
He laughingly said that of course, I would not work a real job, for a real company, and do real work! I had to agree, wholeheartedly.
Mother's Day, I'll wear a hat, that I didn't make, but I'll see how the public responds, since the RW and all, as you said.
Most of the ladies I've discussed hats with, didn't like the Brits ones. I loved them, but don't kid myself that they would be such a hit over here.
My market is totally myself, and I'll market me in hats, to the market, when I go to the market, and see what's what when I have.
Good morning Liza!
ReplyDeleteI've seen a few clips and it looks to be very entertaining. I think Rob looks darling as always. I just watched a few Sydney interviews. They were pretty funny. I think he is getting slap-happy after answering all the same questions for over 2 weeks.
DK, Birdie- i'll be outta here soon, need to go to the salon. See you soon. Say hi to Bren for me.
ReplyDelete@LJ
ReplyDeleteLiza! Lovely to hear from rainy England. Bet the air smells sweet.
I watched the show, too, on YTube and it was very funny. Love the host, he is a stitch. The Others tickled my funny bone, too. :O
Missed Hugh's (he's my bb, lol) performance but will find it and listen to it soon. He played a Leadbelly song-I was so exited to hear that he would.
Nice seeing you again,Gwen. Don't be a stranger!
ReplyDeleteDK- go for it, the hat thing, i mean.
ReplyDeleteMorning Liza!
Go to go. Happy Mother's Day to all mothers here! Have a great weekend.
Yuh, awww, I wrote exited instead of excited.
ReplyDeleteSo, maybe it's getting close to my exit time, although I'd dearly love something to eat right now, hmmm.
Sausage!
BRB
Morning DK,Gwen,Birdie ;)
ReplyDeleteLiza - Sorry to hear you have rain,it's actually warm and sunny here! After watching Graham Norton even my hubs grudginly admits Rob "seems like a decent bloke" :)
@Gwen
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the new look! Take care and have fun taking it.
@angelica1
ReplyDeleteMorning...nice Rob descriptions- decent and charming!
Sunny and warm, nice description, also.
Hi Angelica,
ReplyDeleteI think people don't want to like Rob because of the sudden fame, but when they talk to him or hear him interviewed they can't help but like him. Did you see WFE?
Good Morning Ladies!
ReplyDeleteI watched the Graham Norton show too..via youtube. It was hilarious, I don't think Rob even realizes how funny he is :)
Hi DK, Gwen, Birdie, Liza and Angelica :)
Have a great Saturday!
Hi Rhonda,
ReplyDeleteAre you working this weekend? I'm going to have to look up the GN show.
Hi to everyone!
ReplyDeleteDK you need to watch the Hugh Laurie bit its brill.
Angelica please send some sun over its miserable weather here :)
I am definitely going to see Water For Elephants tomorrow now, can't wait.
Enjoy the rest of your weekends!
<3
@Rhonda
ReplyDeleteHello! You, too.
@LJ
I will!
@Birdie
Computer is running slow due to system cleaning. I may as well head to bed. We'll chat another night.
See you all soon.
Merry, go around!
Birdie - I'm seeing it tomorrow. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteLiza - I've instructed the weather to head a bit further south :)
Morning Rhonda - I agree,he's a natural comic :)
Good morning everyone!
ReplyDeleteDK, Liza, Birdie, Gwen, Angelica, Fiorels,Rhonda.
Take care everbody......I'm off to enjoy the day.
Hoping for a great day for everybody.
Good morning Roseland. Belated hellos to DK, Gwen, Birdie, Liza, Angelica, Fio, Rhonda and Anne. I hope everyone is well.
ReplyDeleteCount me among the people who watched the video of the Graham Norton show and loved it. Now there's a great TV host. I too love Hugh Laurie (I'm a House fan as well) and was sorry I missed his part which was cut out of the video I saw. I looked like great fun. I hope the comedienne who was on the show finds her cat.
Well I'm off to the big city to do some shopping, so I hope you all have a great day.
Til later.
Good morning dear Rose and Roseland,
ReplyDeleteGlad that so many are taking a look at Rob on the Graham Norton show via You Tube. It is priceless and indiscribably hilarious.
Also nice that many more of you are finally able to go see WFE. Have seen it 3 times and it is a beautiful and wonderful theatre experience each time. Hope that it does very well this Mother's Day weekend.
Wishing for a very calm, private, happy several weeks for Rob and Kristen. Time to rest, renew, and resume real life before the next big work project. May they have longer and more unnoticed moments of normal time together, with friends and family during their non-working hours.
Have a beautiful Saturday and may tomorrow be the loveliest Mothers Day for all the Roseland "mums".
Hugs for y'all.
Life is good, especially when you are headed for home; because home is where the heart is. : )
I cannot believe I missed Honey's post.
ReplyDeleteI thought their first kiss was just right. He was an innocent young man and she didn't want to scare him. It would not have been proper for 1930 love scenes to be down and dirty. I thought their chemistry fit the movie. This movie is getting huge. So happy for Rob.
ReplyDeleteGood Derby Day Friends!
ReplyDeleteThe Kentucky Derby starts in about a half and hour!
Having a glass of wine and wondering who else is watching it?
Hugs for all, especially Rose, Smitty & Gruff. Yes, Syd, too!
DK
Damn wine-a half AN hour!
ReplyDeleteReese Witherspoon once again refers to Rob's girlfriend in an interview.
ReplyDeleteShe must have made more from the all the money Summit is paying her to fool us sheep that she did from WFE.
And the vast PR conspiracy continues...
Looks like a slow night around here. I was trying to catch up but I missed so much. I hope all of you that are moms have a great Mother's Day! I'll try to stop at a time when more people are around. Take care-
ReplyDeleteHi Smitty- Sorry I missed you. I hope you are doing well :)
ReplyDelete@Smitty
ReplyDeleteSorry to have missed you. It is quiet today. I check in and go out.
Appreciate the MDay wishes. Can't seem to get off of the telephone today, but I am not complaining, for it is all good.
You also have a wonderful weekend. Regards to Gruff & Syd. Do come back soon. <3
Hugs!!
DK
Lovely post Rose, as always!
ReplyDeleteJust popping in to say hiya to everyone and to also extend my best wishes to all the Roseland mammas for a happy mother's day.
All I want for mother's day is 2 solid hours of 'me' time so I can FINALLY see Water for Elephants. (I'm so ashamed that I haven't seen it yet!).
I'm bringing along my sweet mom so we can celebrate together.
Have a great night...
Hi Rhonda-I'm good. I can't keep up with the people here though. Too many posts. How are you?
ReplyDeleteHi DK- I'm just checking in for a bit...very loong day at work :(
ReplyDelete@Rhonda
ReplyDeleteHave a good night, too!
Hi DK! Thanks for the great songs, as always you find the best ones.
ReplyDeleteSmitty- Lol, I know what you mean!
ReplyDeleteI'm really good, tired today, but good :)
Just stopping in to say hi!
ReplyDeleteHope all you mothers on here have a happy mother's day & get all the love you deserve!
Don't even think anyone is here, everyone out partying it up on a sat night except for me? Lol
-----
Ok I typed that & left the computer cuz my kitty monster was making a ruckus & I come back & smitty literally typed what I was thinking lol
So Hello smitty & rhonda!
Thank you dear Smitty. Please know how much we hope that all is well and so very happy with you and yours. Sincere wishes for happiness to your mom.
ReplyDeleteHugs for you and all your loved ones.
This is so funny! We keep posting at the same time, and missing each other.
ReplyDelete@Smitty
It is hard to keep up with the posts and all of the new posters, too. We have some lovely folks from around the world, like Brazil.
Some days, we have great convos going and new recipes.
How are you?
Hi Groovie and Olivia :)
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda!
ReplyDeleteMore Lovelies!
ReplyDeleteHello, Groovie, MySoCalledLife, Olivia, realprpro!
@Smitty
You flatter me but I'll take it. It's so much fun, when I am hunting down just the right one for you, or others, and then for me.
Hello Roseland!
ReplyDelete4 am here.. cant sleep as usual.. I'm still thinking of WFE.. which i saw a few hours ago.. and it was just simply beautiful..
I enjoyed it a lot.. from the very beginning that wa so touching.. to the end that was so breathetaking.
I also cried in some scenes.. I guess cause I just can't stand violence on animals.. and that was kinda too much for me..
And Rob was so good.. he was so expressive in every single scene and portrayed it beautifully!
I liked a lot the scenes with animals, and Tai of course.. god he's so right! she's a great actress! LOL and just too smart and cute!
Again, I don't think the chemistry was bad.. just it was not super but not bad at all..
and the last footage totally killed me! *sigh*
very beautiful beautiful movie!
Definitely going to watch it again and was so glad to find the cinema almost full and heard lots of comments about how beautiful the movie was! :)
So am so proud of Rob! he was great in this..
it's not mother's day yet for the most of you.. anyway.. have a happy day!
I'm sure you are all great moms!
Hi DK, **waves*.
ReplyDeleteHi to everyone here!
ReplyDeleteWhat a day! I've been cleaning out closets and packing for our move. It's nice to sit down and rest for a bit.
Hope you all enjoy your Mother's Day whether you are one or have one :)
DK- I agree with Smitty, you are a dj extraordinaire :)
ReplyDeleteSmitty- Any new music lately?
Hi Fio and dottie!
ReplyDeleteHi Olivia, Groovie, Smitty, DK, MySoCalledLife, Fio and Rhonda. I hope you are all well and have had a good day. It’s been a nice low key day for me, albeit one that’s been a little hard on the credit cards.
ReplyDeleteDo any of you have plans for Mother’s Day? I’ll be talking to my mom tomorrow but won’t get to see her until Wednesday when I get to Montreal for work. I’m looking forward to it.
I hope tomorrow is a good one for all the mom’s on the board.
I’ve been rewatching the Graham Norton clips and having a chuckle. All around it was a great show.
Anyone doing anything fun tonight?
ReplyDeleteI went over to my parents house for a few hours, watched some sports but when my dad turned it to nascar I had to call it after about an hour lol so I came home, I'm just gonna hang out, maybe read or play some video games.
@Fio
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your thoughts about and experience of WFE! See how easy it is to want to watch it again?
How's the studying going?
Hi Freddie :)
ReplyDeleteHey dottie - sorry I missed you. We must have been typing at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI hope Melinda is breaking the bank in Vegas and IB's daughter is doing well at her cheer competition.
Yo! DK, dottie, freddie..
ReplyDeleteGroovie- I wish, I'm working this weekend so not much fun. What video games do you like?
ReplyDeleteGroovie, I would take NASCAR over packing for a move.... well...maybe not. To top off my evening the husband felt compelled to introduce our boys to the movie "Tremors." He wants them to be familiar with the classics I suppose. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy word is emitzit -- sounds kind of gross!
Hey Rhonda - sounds like you had a rough day. I hope it is improving now.
ReplyDeleteDK - you were busy last night. I thought you were trying to shift your clock around.
Hi Rhonda, Freddie, Dottie, Smitty, olivia, Groovie.
ReplyDeleteDK- Yes LOL definitely.. and also this friend of mine (who usually is very critical to movies, said she really liked it :D).
The study is.. going.. hehe.
And you know what? I have an exam the day after MMA... which airs here on MTV at 3 AM in the morning LOL i'll be a zombie haha and imagine what I will tell my professor hahaha.
thanks for asking anyway.
how are you?
Freddie, any news about Thomas?
@Dottie
ReplyDeleteHi, there! You're moving to Alabama, right? Tons of work to move, isn't that the truth.
@Freddie
I saw earlier that you were going out shopping, lucky you! Buy anything wonderful?
Thanks for the MDay wishes. Kids are taking me to a late dinner, when they get back from a college graduation in Ohio.
@Groovie
I had some fun earlier following the Kentucky Derby! Did you see those hats? Incredible and like the Royal Wedding hats, but they were more jazzed up, in true American style.
Rhonda-no great new music really. I've been kind of busy and out of that loop. If I find anyone good I'll let you know. Someone gave me some really old vinyl for my birthday that I want to listen to and maybe I'll be able to recommend some of it. Olivia-thanks for the wishes for my mom.
ReplyDeleteJust got a call that my friend is close so I'll say goodnight to you all and again, have a great day to all of you moms-
Rhonda-
ReplyDeleteIt depends, I still have my classic nintendo I got when I was like 5 when they first came out lol, so that's always fun to break out like mario or duck hunt
Or I have an xbox360, play a lot of rock band/guitar hero, the beatles one is awesome.
I also have this civil war game where u pick a side and play thru battles, I'm a total history nerd lol!
Freddie- Just a busy day, but not too bad :)
ReplyDeleteDK- I thought about you when I saw all the Derby hats, they were great!
Yay! People are here tonight!
ReplyDeleteHi DK, Freddie, Fio, Rhonda, Groovie, Olivia, Smitty...
Groovie - my fun plans for tonight involve sitting on the couch and trolling food blogs for birthday cake decorating ideas. My son will be 3 soon and I haven't a clue what to do for his cake.
The problem is, I keep coming across other great food things and keep bookmarking them so I can make them later. Like... check this out?! How good does this look??
http://annies-eats.net/2011/03/23/cinnamon-sugar-pull-apart-bread/
Fio - Your description of the movie and your feelings while watching it make me excited to go see it tomorrow! I really can't wait. Hope you are well lovely. What are you studying for? Finals?!
DK - will you be spinning some mother's day themed tunes? I have faith you could think of some, as none come to my mind immediately.
@Smitty
ReplyDeleteGoodnight, Miss Happy Heart.
Fio - thanks for asking about Tomas. No real change - we'll do another round of blood tests in roughly 6 weeks to gauge the rate of progression of the disease. In the interim, he seems fine, just not at all happy with his new food now that he's had it for a week or two. And I have to remember not to give him too many treats.
ReplyDeleteDK - a necklace for me and a bracelet for my mom for Mother's Day - oh yeah...and two leather jackets. So it was a good haul. LOL.
MySoCalledLife- mmm yummie.. that looks amazing! *drools* lol
ReplyDeletecan't wait for you to watch WFE! i actually wished I was you right now LOL the excitement before seeing something new is always the best part for me hehe.
I'm studying for my exams right now.. have to take 6 exams in 2 months and I just don't know how I'm gonna do this...
this f***ing Uni is a total mess..
how are you?
Smitty- Oh, I love vinyl, so that's really cool. Let me know what you think :) Give my best to Gruff and Syd, take care :)
ReplyDeleteNight Smitty - have a good one.
ReplyDeleteMysocalledLife-
ReplyDeleteMy mom always made the most epic cakes for my bday! She did one once that looked exactly like a burger & fries. She can make some awesome cakes!
What is your kid into? U can make the cake around that theme. Like if he is into a certain character or movie or toy like cars or whatever
DK Yep I'm moving to N AL,just south of Nashville.
ReplyDeleteSmitty, you're long gone but I trust you are doing great. Enjoy yourself, sweetie!
Freddie- no problem, when it comes to animal I'm iper-sensitive.
ReplyDeleteIs he eating at least?
Goodnight to you Smitty.
Groovie- I still love nintendo :)
ReplyDeleteHi Freddie and everyone,
ReplyDeleteFreddie, sounds like you were able to indulge in some retail therapy. Hope you were able to enjoy a great lunch somewhere while you were out.
This is a working weekend for me. Only half a day today and tomorrow, so not so bad.
Did get a lovely phone call from my son this evening and he will call again tomorrow for the official Mothers Day call. : )
Take care dear Smitty. Thank you for peeking in when you can.
Sweet Fio, bless your heart, you need to be sleeping. You definitely will need to think up of a good excuse to tell your profe during exam time if you don't get enough sleep and study time.

ReplyDeleteGood idea about the MD themed tunes. I'll be my brain in gear and if the red wine has not blurred my memory, I'll find some. Want them tonight or manana?
@Freddie
You are right, I am trying to shift the bod into day mode, and sometimes even succeed!
Last night I had such inspiration, I almost couldn't stop posting songs. Only 10, then, in the end.
Maybe tonight, it will be Happy this and that, instead of Let's this and that, lol.
You ladies were lucky with videogames! lol
ReplyDeletefor some reason I never even had a playstation..
guess my mom thought since we are all female, we didn't need one..
Oh olivia, thanks for caring but in some way I always make it haha.
ReplyDeleteI'm a quite lucky person when it comes to exams! LOL
Hi MSCL- That's a great age. I bet he's a cutie :)
ReplyDeleteMySoCalledLife – that recipe sounds absolutely delicious and definitely off my diet. LOL. OH well, I can dream.
ReplyDeleteFio – that’s a bummer about the MMA’s being right before your exam. It always works that way doesn’t it.?
Dottie – NOOO! Not the movie Tremors….it wasn’t the best movie….although Reba with a gun it kind of amusing.
Olivia – I wish it had been a nice lunch but I just grabbed a bite at the food court. I hope you get to have some time to enjoy yourself tomorrow. Your son sounds like a real sweetie to call twice.
DK – I liked all the action songs – flying, dancing etc.
Fio - Oh my goodness! 6 exams? Sounds grueling! I don't miss those days. College kicked my ass. I'm a working 'professional' and still think working full time is a cake-walk compared to college. Good luck! I'll say a little prayer for you ;)
ReplyDeleteGroovie - That's awesome that your mom made such brilliant cakes for you. That's why I want to make an amazing one for my little guy. I want him to look back when he's older and say "my mom made the most kick ass cakes for me..."
Right now, the leading cake contenders are a fish-themed cake and Curious George. We'll see which one wins.
I will also be serving these on his b'day, since I just stumbled upon them and MUST have them:

DK - I'll let you decide when to spin them. Whenever your most inspired or the mood strikes. I'm excited to see what you come up with :)
Hi Rhonda! He is a cutie, if I do say so myself.
Oops - typo - it should say "is kind of amusing".
ReplyDeleteAlrighty, think I'm gonna go run some errands, spend an obscene amount of $ filling up my jeep with gas lol and I need cake. And dr.pepper! Lol so I guess I'm going to the store too!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice night everyone! I'll prob check back in later to see what's up!
Freddie- i know right? and it's the second time actually..
ReplyDeleteI had the same situation last year as well so I ended up sleeping 2 hours before it but was so happy the day after :D LOL
MSCL- you're such a sweetie. I would appreciate a prayer actually lol
