Meryl:
Hi Kirk! I'm following you around the Board this morning. :)
I'd like to see Babel, especially for Cate Blanchett, who's always so good. But I have yet to see Candy, Volver, Casino Royale and Bobby, too. Better get on the stick.
Kelda, I saw some folks' reactions to a "Dreamgirls" screening after the premiere here, and they were all excited about it. They loved the girl from Idol, and there are stories out about Beyonce being a bit miffed about all the attention being taken away from her. It looks like it's going to be a big hit. :)
Kelda:
Looking forward to catching up with some films during the Christmas period!
Hope everyone is well today.
xx
Meryl:
Hi Kelda!
I'm runnin' around like a chicken with its head cut off, trying to get everything done before I go to visit my cousins in Pennsylvania for a few days. Christmas and a few birthdays kind of sneaked up on me! :P
It's a nice, balmy 57 degrees here today, though. Nice shopping weather. :)

And Meryl it's 59F in Childress, Tx. Wow, almost the same as in NYC. They get that outdoor ice skatin rink by Rockefeller Center up and running when it's 59F? You can practically ice skate wearing shorts, though it wouldn't be practical I suppose.
Ellemeno:
Ice skatin' in New York. During my childhood, many Fridays after school, my friends and I would go to Wollman Rink in Central Park and skate. I didn't know at the time how exceptionally lucky that was.
I haven't been skating in years, but I have lots of sense memories of it - lacing the skates up snugly to support my ankles, the first tottery steps off the bench on the rubbery floor, the clumsy feeling clutching onto the side when I first get out on the ice, the exhilaration when I let go of the wall and begin tentative little glides on my own, the bliss of finding the music's rhythm and taking long glides, the hilarity and joy of twirling and skating backwards, the gasping terror and fun of holding hands with a faster skater and praying not to careen out of control.
The molten heat of the microwaved mini-pizzas (the first microwave oven I ever experienced - in the late 1960s!) Not feeling my toes anymore. And the boiling agony of putting my frosted feet in the bathtub once I got home.
I sure used to love to move like that - think I'll go take a walk.
