I guess they're just fun. I tend to watch those when I'm in a good mood though. The serious movies are for my serious moods. I suppose you could say that I like to brood. It tends to be the opposite for me with music. Don't know why. I love the musical genre, though in movies it's a little harder for me to digest. I'm more of a Broadway fan; it doesn't seem to work on a screen. Mary Poppins is classic. I haven't seen that in ages, and I wonder if I would still see it with the same wonder and amusement.

It's a ballet movie. Bad dialogue and worse acting. But the dancing... I click to the chapters with the dancing and play them on repeat. Bad music: I have several, and most of them are the kind of emo-indie-pop songs that are popular the world over with 14 year old suburban white girls. <i>The Sound of Music</i>: Warning, you will have to enjoy the genre of The Musical, in order to get anything from it. It is, however, Julie Andrews at her second best--her best being <i>Mary Poppins</i> (also a musical). Not sure how to go about commenting. Like this. But I did write you back on Thereafterish. I'm glad you like the redesign. "You Have My Permission To Stalk Me" sounded too immature. I thought it was clever when I made it up three years ago.

And bunny hug sounds so random. Someone from the generation before mine once told me they were called kangaroo sweaters, because hoodies were usually pull-overs that had a middle "pocket-tube" like a kangaroo pouch. Weird. @Maeko — You know, I've never even seen The Sound of Music, and every person I tell looks at me with bewilderment. I guess I should check it out sometime. I've never even heard of Centerstage...I'm guessing movie? I don't have any songs that are guilty pleasures that I save for bad days. Actually, I did, but I've been using (listening to) them for a while now. @Pearl — I deleted my Facebook account…didn’t need it because I felt it was much more limiting than a blog.

I posed a question for some people on my latest. I think it would be good for you to try to answer it. When I'm done, I break out The Sound of Music or ... ... shhhh, don't tell anyone: Centerstage.
