Dearest Readers,
I have started 2011 with an enthusiastic grunt, if not a subdued bang. The kids and I participated in our annual movie marathon.
I make tons of food, and this year's fare was no exception. I made Porcs dans une couverture *, tortilla servi avec du fromage et du piment, and other fine foods that one would find at any "must be at" event.
This year, we actually held two cinematic explorations instead of one. The "Kid friendly" marathon took place in my bedroom on my bed, in which I still must slumber, however the popcorn kernels still loom, even after changing and washing my linens. They did an introspective on computer animation pioneers in film. Beginning with the insta-classic "Monsters Incorporated" and moving on to "Toy Story 3" and ending it out with "Finding Nemo" they began 2011 in style!
The "grown up" marathon did not feature "adult" entertainment, but mature entertainment that would, well, substitute for Sominex if anyone under the age of 30 dared to participate. We started out with Oscar Wilde's farce "The Importance of Being Earnest" and progressed on to the recent Masterpiece theater production of Jane Eyre. Now, I know what you must be saying.... it should be illegal to have that much classic British fun in one night, but we dared to dream... and did, actually begin to dream, about midway through Jane's sojourn in the wilderness.
So, I salute the beginning of 2011, it is shaping up to be the best year so far!
