Back again

K. I'm back again. Ugh. I have been horrible about updating this thing. Anyways, I'm currently in rehearsal for a kid's show with the Old Creamery theatre in Amana, Iowa. This year the show is about doing your personal best. Apparently teachers really want to focus on that topic even though kids apparently have no idea what that means.

I was fortunate enough to bring Lady with me this time and she seems to be enjoying herself. It's nice that she gets to come to rehearsals with me because she doesn't have to sit at home bored out of her mind. The company seem to really like her too. A couple of them have even been generous enough to buy her treats!

A few things I've done recently and I'd recommend:

1. War Horse.

Apparently several people hate this movie because of the sap and how contrived it is at times. But I guess I'm just a sucker for animal movies because I loved it. Sure it bothered me that the foreign armies all spoke English (why no subtitles, we can read you know), and it was a little on the boring side for the first 30 minutes but overall it was a great film. Beautiful cinematography (some haters think its over the top) and another great score by John Williams add to the appeal. It's a great love letter to all the horses who have sacrificed their lives in all the wars and battle this world has seen. It's message being one of hope and peace in a world of horrible things.

2. Tosh.0

I just started watching this show. Why did it take me so long?! It's hilarious! I want to be Tosh's friend. Just so he can make me laugh uncontrollably whenever I'm in a bad mood. Great premise too. Who doesn't want to make fun of all those idiots on YouTube?
