I am torn

about Mamma Mia - Shelly and I sorta liked it. AE & KB couldn't wait for it to end...

At moments it is kinda good, and then at others so cheesy you cringe...really.

Here are the plus and minuses:

- I love Meryl Streep but felt she wasn't quite right for the role, can't put my finger on who would be.

+ Christine Baranski and Julie Walters were really great as Donna's best friends.

+ Sophie was so very good.

- Colin Firth wasn't in the movie enough.

- Pierce Bronsnan really should never sing on screen ever again.

+/- The kid who plays Sky (or Ski as Shelly called him) kinda freaked me out because he looked exactly like this guy I used to work with who always wanted me to double check my billing numbers, I know this is just my own quirky issue.

+ I would like to visit Greece because it looked just magical on the screen.

Overall I think I maybe liked it a little, it just felt different from when I saw it on stage. Maybe it is because I am not used to watching musicals all that much anymore.

Go and see it and tell me what you think...

This plan actually worked out for the best because when I was playing on Thursday there was this loud pop in the bottom of my foot. Suddenly my heel felt better, so I thought, "Maybe it released all of the bad heel juju into the rest of my foot." Well, it was something like that. Evidently I tore a ligament in my foot which the doctor told me is really the best thing that could have happened. The reason why is it cured the plantar fasciitis. Plus the recovery time for the ligament thing is about six weeks versus potentially months or years with the other. So all in all I guess it was a good thing to tear a ligament. I am bummed because I can't do any exercise for t...

Tightrope walking on a string

This has been one of "those" weeks where I often find myself scared to slow down and assess the situation because when I do I start to get this really tight feeling in my chest and I feel nauseous. Does anyone else get that? When life is going mach 10 with your hair on fire...and if you stop you just might fall right over from that string you are balancing everything on... I am going to bed.
