Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

Welcome to the weekend!!!

Now if it were 20 degrees higher that be good

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, I feel ya Mac. We're in the 30's with wind chills in the low 20's. Snow showers right now.

Going to see LaLa Land this morning. I wanted to see it, and the kids said they would go too. I like musicals, so I am looking forward to seeing it.

 

[macraven]

I have not packed yet

But am thinking of what to fix for dinner tonight

Enjoy that movie Lynne
The reviews were good for it

 

[Monykalyn]

what is a vacuum cleaner?

The dog or kids

Heard La La Land was really good-let us know your review @Lynne G !

 

[tlinus]

In exactly 24 hours we SHOULD be on the runway......like my hero, mac, nothing packed yet. I dont even know WHAT to pack. Courtney can fend for herself after rehearsal...and then work..lol

I guess I should go find my capris and start washing some other clothes and light jackets

Be interested to know your review Lynne I really love musicals and was looking forward to La La Land so much but it just didn't do it for me. I admit I'm not mad on Ryan Gosling but he just didn't have the right song and dance man image for me and we both felt the story didn't flow well. We recently saw Strictly Ballroom (as a musical) on stage and that was absolutely fabulous with the whole audience joining in!

Lol......another last minute packer! It's the way to be.........I pack the morning we leave for our overnight at airport! Plenty of time.........

I just watched La La Land on the android box this afternoon........I thought it was junk! I expected so much more, I love musicals too........but I knew after a few minutes what it was going to be like. Searched the android box and found Sing........that was so much better! And funny! Really enjoyed that. I'd watch it again.


Settling down to watch something else now.......lazy night ahead.........TV and snacks.........not sure what to watch!

Feeling quite full right now, made a chicken curry for dinner.........now for a cuppa..........

Happy Saturday night all.........hope all heading to Orlando have a wonderful time..........

I have found my twin!!!!!!


It's after 5:00 and have thought of packing but that is as far as I have gone
Just thinking ....

Did grocery store run and in process of making dinner
Wasted my day watching Mary Tyler Moore marathon

Dinner will be ready by 6:30 then clean the kitchen and around 8:30 will pack but after I check out the weather for the week

Earlier I saw on a few days will be low 70's but high 40's once sun goes down

So I wear a jacket in the day and sweat but will be comfortable in the evening

Tlinus hope you are a better clothes planner than I am


I prefer doing the one hour flight but this time doing the drive down
Could be my first and last time for doing that

Pulling out of the drive way at 5 am Sunday as long as I don't over sleep

Safe travels Tracie!

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, I was kinda disappointed in LaLa too. Love story? I guess, but thought the ending was stupid. Dreams are more important than love. Uh, not the message I thought the movie was going to give. Even little one thought it was dragging in parts, and I have to agree with her. Music was good, but I liked Sing much better.

Time for watching soccer again. Sweater under jacket as they play on a hockey field, and even though some heat, it still is too chilly in the stands. Cold night, and below freezing again overnight.

Enjoy your Saturday night. Safe travels to Mac Tlinus and all the homies traveling soon. Jealous, LOL

 

[macraven]

I was hoping you would say the movie was great

Lots of attention has been given to la la land
Made it appear to be a winner of a movie

 

[tink1957]

Just popped in to wish mac and all our travelers this week bon voyage.

Hope you have a blast and think of me as I do my 7th day in a row at work....good news is I'm off for 2 days after tomorrow.

Robo, hope your bruises heal quickly.
Have a great weekend everyone

 

[keishashadow]

Lots of packing going on in the thread lol think I'm done. Well mostly, admit to tossing things in up until we leave.

Spent way too much today watching DSs play resident evil 7 on the PS4. All I can say is holy crap, talk about buckets of blood and totally different story line. Oddly enough house reminded me of the old evil dead one.

GD won 2 more medals in gymnastics yesterday, nice but long haul. Oldest DS being 'nice' decided to help me get into the car. slammed my foot in car, bonus points he did it twice. Thank God for heavy soled winter snow boots. Still it is rather misshapen mess today. Lots of ice today and will slap a sleeve on it and hope for the best. May have to drink a few 'pain killers'.

Carole for some reason the fog horns you mention sound positively romantic. We've been getting a great deal of fog here too. Saw sea fog for first time when in Daytona Beach. Different degrees of it in am, afternoon & evening; very interesting how it disappeared completely on the other side of the high-rises. Assume the streets warm enough to dissipate it.

Anybody else hoping they don't mess up 24 v.2? Believe it premiers after Super Bowl. I've been known to ahem follow Jack Bauer. He isn't involved but I'll give it a shot

Well Lynne places with no time change for daylight savings time might not be where you want to move

You have Hawaii and Arizona
Parts of Indiana used to not switch but think that has reverted back now

Nw Indiana near calumet and the terra haute used to not change
Terra haute has a lot of farm land and farmers said since their cows could not tell time for day light savings time switch

cows would eat no matter what the switch time would be
Lol

Indian (Native American/first people whatever floats the boat) reservations do their own thing as to observing time changes. My understanding most don't. Found Driving around the Grand Canyon can be a crap shoot too. Some of the areas didn't start daylight savings time until a month or so later, Strange stuffs. Almost seems like too much thought being expended on the issue.

Afternoon everyone back to the real world after a few short days of a trip. Had a nice time minus falling yesterday. Was watching transformer character yesterday morning when a guy came walking fast by me and I stepped back to keep him from stepping on my foot (which has been broken twice) and fell. Besides a bruised tush and thigh i faired well considering I have great difficulty getting up after having bilateral joint replacement.

I watched the fireworks last night at Universal after riding my fav ride Gringotts. Was nice.

Simpsons is down for reburb and Kong was slow on Wednesday because they were down to two vehicles from 5.

I did confirm this morning that beach pool at Portofino is closed till mid February.

Heads up the Villa pool was very cold. A few kiddos braved the water.... no adults were brave enough to get in. Myself included.

All the folks attending Potter weekend were checking into this morning at hotel and they all had their robes on. It was cool to see young and old with their Potter attire. Should be nice cool weekend for them in their robes. Will be cooler for next four days.

Have a safe trip up to Universal Mac. Have a great time.

Have great Friday everyone.

Oh my gosh, awful to hear you fell. Doing better today? We decided to skip the HP stuff tomorrow, just not feeling dealing with the crowd as not having any special reservations/no way can I stand in what I figure will be long lines for talent-standby spots.

Thanks Mac - it is tough particularly for hubs as when his dad passed his mum was very ill in hospital too - we were going from one ward to the other. She is home now and doing ok but was unable to attend her husband's funeral. Puts everyday problems into perspective for sure.

How sad to read, indeed makes one thankful for what they have & hold their loved ones a bit closer.

Catch Yinz guys soon.

 

[macraven]

Agree Schumi Sing so much better! Been out with our walking group round Knutsford & Tatton Park (National Trust) was lovely bright and frosty just got back & hubs has found me South Pacific on his box of tricks so feet up ready for a chilled afternoon with old movies!

 

[schumigirl]

Janet.......I love the sound of foghorns..........I love the window open and listen to them during the night, even the ones of the ships out at sea when they occasionally set anchor out there before heading up North to whatever Port they're going to......I know it's dangerous for them, but yes, it's quite soothing and romantic .......as long as I don't think of the movie The Fog while listening......lol........

Vicki......enjoy those days off........feet up and watch some tv!

Lynne, sorry you didn't enjoy the movie either.......Mac was correct, it had some fantastic reviews, but honestly.......it was so bad I thought it was a spoof movie!

Agree Schumi Sing so much better! Been out with our walking group round Knutsford & Tatton Park (National Trust) was lovely bright and frosty just got back & hubs has found me South Pacific on his box of tricks so feet up ready for a chilled afternoon with old movies!

Glad you enjoyed Sing too.........it was cute. It is a beautiful frosty, crisp but cold day here too........love seeing the sun after a week and a half of fog and low cloud!

That's our afternoon too..........black and white Sherlock Holmes movies with Basil Rathbone......my favourite Holmes ever! Nothing on normal tv we want to watch........nice lazy afternoon.......

Rib of beef for dinner tonight........healthyish roast potatoes and veg........

Have a good Sunday all.........

 

[Mrs bluer101]

Happy Sunday everyone. Been real busy lately haven't had much time for relaxing. Keisha-- I hope you and your family are doing better. Robo--I hope you feel better. I know I'm missing a lot but I hope everyone is good.

Safe travels to everyone traveling and have a great time!

It is 53 in Orlando at 6:00 pm

Cold
Coat weather here


Brrr

 

[Lynne G]

Oh, we would be in a light jacket with that temperature Mac. We were 37 at 6 pm tonight. Snow or sleet on tap for Tuesday into Wednesday. Joy.

Quiet Sunday night. My kind of night. Errands done, wash done, food stocked for the week, kids now chilling too.

Then, back to routine when we go to sleep. Ready for next month's long holiday weekend. Then it is the holiday time off dry spell. No fun in March or April, and have to wait until the end of May.

There was some sun today. Mostly gray again, but happily the sun got cloud free for short stretches, then it got really bright.


Hope all made safe trips and enjoying their first night of vacation. All the rest of the homies stuck at home, enjoy this last Sunday night of January.
