Live Thoughts while Watching White Christmas
- Having a show in a combat zone is very stupid!
- “Thanks for saving my life! Call me if you need anything! But don’t actually call though, okay?”
- 10 days off with pay for Christmas? What is this world.
- Bing Crosby’s character is definitely at least 40, unmarried, and in show business. Would really NOBODY at the time have assumed he was gay?
- “How dare you make me famous and rich, I don’t have enough free time to myself!”
- Freckle Faced Hanes, the DOG FACED BOY?!
- This plot is really bad but also it doesn’t matter because watch Vera Ellen dance
- Why do they do this sister act, why don’t they just do one of their own songs? Is dressing up like women that hilarious in the 50s?
- Where is the SNOW? Ah movies before climate change was a thing
- The housekeeper is such a bitch, I love her.
- They must skip this Minstrel number when they show this on TV right?
- “Goodnight Judy”, face full of perfect stage makeup
- So nice of Bob to sing Betty a lullaby
- The wordplay in this is consistent but always unexpected. “Bleached charger”.
- “The listening on the phone to things you shouldn’t overhear and getting it wrong” is my least favourite plot in anything ever but especially this.
- By “let’s think about it over a sandwich” I assume Phil means “while I eat one” because Judy clearly never eats.
- What a jaunty ascot Bob has on in this scene.
- Bob at the train station trying to make sure it can handle … trains? This seems like not his job.
- Vera Ellen’s WAIST my GOD
- “Weirdsmobile”
- All the creative ways they find for Rosemary Clooney not to dance
- Betty if you just asked Bob directly we would not be in this mess.
- “No one is getting money for this!” Such a regular thing to say on TV
- “It took 15,000 men to take my place” how long has Emma been with General Waverly anyway.
- They threw me a musical number! Now all my problems are solved!
- No matter how many times I’ve seen this I’m still delighted when it magically snows at the end.
- And the dresses. And the kiss. And the song. It’s a great end to a ridiculous movie.
I don’t normally post selfies
But on the weekend I put in some fake pink hair extensions for a party, and I thought it looked pretty cute!
We Have Tree 🎄
Never had a Christmas tree so early in my life but my husband was very stoked to go to a nearby neighbourhood tree lot and get our first ever real tree. It smells like Christmas!
Just found the cutest pedometer pet
It’s called Habbie! You “feed” it by meeting your daily step goal, which you can raise or lower to meet your own needs. You can also give him nice pats.
If you don’t meet your step goal, it poops, and the only way to clean it is by walking more. I love this because the last pedometer phone pet I tried would die if you didn’t meet your goal, and I found that very upsetting. Like what if you’re sick, and really can’t do your step? It just dies?
Not Habbie! He just poops and sulks about it until you meet your goal. Perfect. He’s also super cute! For the really low one-time fee, I’m really happy with it.
If you’re looking for a home- or- lock-screen widget pal, I highly recommend!
I used to try to keep my Tamagotchi off my main blog
But now I think, you know what? It’s my blog, I can post Tamagotchi if I want to.
Doing some old school M!xing today.
Someone made a map of Toronto’s hidden fairy doors
Fairy Door via BlogTo
The Fairy Door Map is a work-in-progress, tracking the doors as they impishly appear and disappear throughout the city. Blue pins on the map are from 2020 and may not be still around, but recently the map has been festooned with pink pins, which are more recently confirmed door sightings.
