Oh and another cool thing, the US capitol picks a tree every year to set up at the White House and they picked one from Jackson this year so they were doing this little parade thing at 4:30. I'm telling, you ALL of Jackson was in the square - and I didn't know there were that many people in Jackson! It was crazy. The parade shindig was pretty lame but the tree - THAT was worth seeing. It was huge. I heard someone said it was 70ft! It was pretty sweet to see and all these people had like little sprigs from it and there was like a brass band playing and they had put the lights on the arches and stuff and it was all just so Christmasy and full of community spirit.
Also this weekend, we totally watch Toy Story 3, Fiddler on the Roof, and The Inheritance. I know, pretty crazy for a school that said we weren't allowed to watch movies. Anyways, Toy Story 3 was pretty amazing, I have to affirm all you people who kept telling me it was. However, I didn't find the monkey as creepy as the baby. Also, we decided it was ALMOST the worst movie in the world - (spoiler alert for all you who were like me and haven't seen it) you know the part where they are like all sitting holding hands ready to die in like the burning pit of Mt Doom? Well, ya, that would have been really stupid. However, it turned out pretty fabulous and not even THAT said, like you all said. I would give it a 41/2 out of 5 stars
Fiddler on the roof...now that was kind of a sad movie...just kind of. haha. Jessica was like, THAT'S IT!?!? and so I cheered everyone up with my imitation of the old man's dance (you know when he's marching around the barn singing "If I was a rich man...") Ya...ahem. They made me do it again for a video and me of course, ended it off by slipping on my Snuggie. which I happened to be wearing, and falling flat out. I will try to upload the video maybe so you can all laugh. Fiddler gets 3 1/2 stars.
And The Inheritance was also a pretty fab movie. Based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott, it actually didn't turn out how I thought it would which was pretty surprising. I mean, don't get me wrong, I still predicted most of it along with half the class but the ending wasn't what I thought it would all turn out to be when we first started it. It gets 4 stars.
So there you have it, some random stories from the weekend and some movie reviews. So go put on some Christmas music, smell some pine trees and drink in the anticipation for another coming Christmas season!
okay so i HAVE to see that video of you dance like Tavier in your Snuggie no less! LOL that was pretty much my favourite scene in the whole movie, i laughed the whole time. My reaction to the ending was the same as jessicas. For Reals???
