I went to see "Happy Feet" today. For those who dont know, its an animated film about a confused little penguin called Mumble, who cant sing but can dance like nothing else, and his daddy is played by our very own Hugh Jackman.  He sings a version of "Kiss" by Prince with Nicole Kidman who plays his wife.   That Hugh sure can sing.  Its such a sweet film, and the music is rocking...me and my 3 yr old daughter were dancing and clapping away, having a great time.

Its a terrible thing to say, but I am just hoping that the date is a complete disaster.  God, I'm such a bitch.  :-\

hahahaha.  Well you will see Mr. Coyote again before you see the A.D.A., because I am writing the Epilogue first.  I don't know if I will be starting "Dupree's Choice" tomorrow, I think it depends on how many bowls of these gluten free cornflakes I am eating tonight. I feel a bit woozy already!

Cheers, and see you tomorrow!

Awww ~ I wanna go see it too! An LJ friend of mine made a bunch of Happy Feet icons for her friends and they are just so cute!  :)

My word everyone, it has been busy round here!  :o

I can't believe that this is the end of the saga. I know that there is more to come, but you know...  :( No more daily fix  :(

I like the idea of a co-ordinated re-reading. We all came to this story at different times, so it would be nice to do the journey again at the same time.

I understand why Dupree wants to go on the date with Paula, one last test to see if he feels anything in that direction. Not easy for Nick to hear. Blimey, he's understanding. Think my reaction would have been a little less so. A lot less so in fact. With swearing and slamming of doors.  ;)

I'm glad the girls made it for the ceremony. They are Ennis' flesh and blood. The ceremony was lovely, and the vows were special in their simplicity (couldn't have imagined either of them gushing).

Is it really over?  :'(

“We didn’t need a whole damn poem,” Ennis muttered, embarrassed.

Well ya gettin’ one anyway!

Delmarriage Day


The wedding bells are ringing
Although they have not rung
The choir is flat out singing
Athough no-one has sung

No church nor congregation
nor priest nor horse and carriage
No wedding invitations
for this special marriage

No need for bells and choirs
and all that paraphernalia
Just two tuxedos hired
as wedding day regalia

Ennis and Ellery pledge their vows
to love each other ever more
We wish them well, drink to their health
(No problem with regard to wealth!)
and happy days galore!

The cake is cut
The two grooms kiss
their faces all aglow with bliss
They toast each other
Ennis blushes
Suddenly the gathering hushes
as Ellery grabs his lover’s ass
and Ennis makes a sudden pass

Dr Sampson checks the ear
and then declares it leg bone clear
Ennis and Ellery disappear
to check each other's wedding gear

Wes and Edna thank the guests
for witnessing the wedding
The Bettermost Bunch act up like pests
as witnesses to the bedding!
