In A Flat


I've been on a bit of a movie kick lately. It all started with 'Becoming Jane.' The part where Tom glides in to dance with Jane and she has no idea that he's coming. I love that mushy stuff! I get chills every time I watch that scene. Singing In The Rain doesn't have the exact same effect but it is, by far, my favorite movie of all time. The dances and the story as well as the costumes and makeup. It's a gorgeous, funny film. This is one of the final scenes, and forgive me if you haven't seen it, but Kathy is singing behind a curtain for Lina. The boys open the curtain and the audience is able to see Kathy singing. It's an absolute riot. I love the painting but I will admit there could have been more work done on my microphone...my dad actually pointed it out and it made me laugh because it is so my father's way of saying things. I showed him the painting and he looked it over for a minute. "You know what I don't like?" What can I say? He's my favorite critic. How can you get upset over a comment beginning like that? Anyway, so he pointed out the microphone and continued to say that is really was a stunning painting. Just like my dad to end on a good note too. Between us, I've already got an idea for a movie drawing for his Christmas present. As for real life these days, Dan got a new job! He's actually out right now getting an ID made or something for work. I'm so proud. Hopefully I'll be hearing something soon regarding my own career...wish me luck. Well, I suppose that's it for now. Much love!
