Sometimes I wonder whether persons who write the descriptions on the back of the DVD cases have ever watched the movie… Sometimes I doubt it
Yesterday Mom and I went to the dollar store. Since the invention of the Dollar DVD going to the dollar store has always been more fun. As usual I carefully looked over the selection of DVD’s and then picked out several for Mom to buy. So I have been busy “previewing” the movies while knitting and untangling yarn. Someway, Somehow the yarn I was using managed to get itself into a large tangle, and by a large tangle I mean I have been working on untangling it through SIX Dvd’s and it still looks as though it’s going to take six more DVD’s to finally untangle it… But I’ve been having fun.
I do enjoy old TV shows and it’s very nice that they are putting them out on DVD. I got three more episodes of Ozzie and Harriet, which I enjoyed. I have just watched a movie starring Cary Grant called “Great Adventure” which was most interesting. It was one of his early films I’m sure. The title is a bit misleading as it sounds more like a war movie or perhaps some sort of exciting pistol shooting or sword swinging swashbuckling film, whereas it is really quite different than that. It’s the story of Rich Man who tries to go for a year earning his own living. And in case you can’t guess, he falls in love with a lovely young lady also earning her own living who has no objection whatsoever to being rich.
To completely change the subject I saw Daniel today, I usually do see him, and he told me that he had had a lot of people telling him that they enjoyed my website. I enjoyed hearing this and it briefly brought some joy into my humdrum life. Actually I’m joking. Though actually… Well… I definitely enjoyed hearing that my website was enjoyed but I would hardly call my life humdrum. The fun part about typing is that it is so very easy to hit the backspace button, but sometimes I don’t.
Right now I only have one DVD from the dollar store I haven’t watched yet, and this one I have been saving for last. Apparently quite a while ago somebody in England decided to do a TV show of “Robin Hood”. I currently have six episodes of that TV show and this DVD has three more. I suppose most people would probably be bored by the actual English accents, realistic castles and sets, charming old footage, ingenious escapes and captures, excellent acting, and plump plots but I have been enjoying them:) I am very much looking forward to watching watching this new DVD. I am also looking forward to finally getting my yarn untangled. However I may have to watch several more DVD’s before that is done. Though I am making progress. I’m not so eager to get the yarn untangled as I am to finish the scarf I am knitting with the yarn that is tangled.
And if my plans do not change and I am able to fulfill them you just might see another story on here this evening:) I think I want to write an exciting adventure with a handsome prince for a hero who will probably rescue a beautiful princess. With luck she may not tell him that his socks do not match.
