song of black leggings.

black stretchy leggings are perfect for me
for i am only 5-feet, 2-inches you see
they cover my short legs without extra mass
and since black is slimming, i wear them with sass

i've found that black leggings match all my clothes
they're great for rehearsals or going to shows
with brown boots or black boots or just simple flats
jackets and dresses and warm winter hats

i shall wear black stretchy leggings all day
until i'm an old woman and my hair is grey
teach in them, dance in them, sleep in them too
i love black leggings, how about you?

you win, pancakes.

another reason i decided to start blogging again was to document, comment on, and remember all the notable movies, theatrical performances, etc. that i saw throughout the year. last post included my thoughts on seven pounds. this post it is doubt.



doubt is a movie adapted from the broadway play written by john patrick shanley and is based on a true story. it is an extremely well-written, full-bodied script that dots every "i" and crosses every "t", not allowing your mind to rest easily in any corner of the plot. it is suspenseful and thought-provoking. it's satirical depiction of staunch catholicism and vivid characters make the movie stand out. meryl streep is f@#&*ing amazing. i mean, who's surprised by that. i feel disappointed that meryl streep has a bandwagon. like in every sitcom or play or anything, meryl streep is always the go-to good actress that they talk about. and like, EVERYONE agrees. so it doesn't really mean anything that i am enthralled with meryl streep because that's not news to anyone. phillip seymour hoffman was perfectly cast in this movie too. creepily good. i wasn't impressed with amy adams; she wasn't bad, but i just felt that her character was too naive and trusting, thus making her unrealistic. the whole thing ends a little abruptly and didn't keep me in suspense long enough, but it definitely makes you think. kyle and i talked about the movie the whole way home from the theaters. i love movies like that.

today worked out well for me. i was supposed to teach choreography from 9-3 today. we got up and started getting ready, and then the principal called and cancelled rehearsal. i wish he would have called about 20 minutes earlier. before i had washed my face, put on deoderant and makeup, brushed my teeth, and got dressed. it made going back to bed a little weird because i was already up and excited to go. but it took me about 20 seconds to get over the weirdness and zonked out for the rest of the morning all the way until 1pm. god that was great. after that long and busy week at school it was amazing to stay cocooned in bed. then kyle and i maxxxed out on some ihop and now i'm at home all folded up on the comfy chair. i foresee a lot of knitting tonight. and hopefully watch pocahontas.

it feels so good to feel the effects of not working at hobby lobby anymore. WOW it's worth it to have my weekends free.
