Nov. 25th, 2009 11:25 pmThis morning I basically packed for my long weekend and baked. I made two cranberry/orange muffin breads, one for Bear’s parents and one for mine. Because the one I made for my parents was in glass dish and not in foil, it actually took much faster to make. Almost half as little time. I don’t think I ever take foil and glass side by side, so it was an interesting experiment. But I did enjoy listening to my IPod, dancing in the kitchen and baking. It made me feel normal.
Bear came around three and after he had a late lunch and I finished packing we left around four. It usually takes about an hour and a half to drive to his house but with the holiday traffic it took us about an extra hour. But it was actually fun sitting in the car and talking and listening to the radio and mocking songs. Going to his house for the holidays always feels homey and I look forward to almost five uninterrupted days together. His parents are not going to have a large Thanksgiving or anything but there will be Turkey. I also like coming home and having Mama’s rice and mushroom turkey stuffing.
SYTYCD. Alice in Wonderland inspired group dance was weird and interesting and I was surprised to find out that Tabitha and Napoleon choreographed it. Victor and Karen went home, which is the result I expected and it was pretty much a good result.
I saw Pixar’s “Up” tonight. I think I liked “Wall-E” better overall, but this movie did make me cry at several segments. Damn Disney emotional storytelling. I’ve read that the first ten minutes and very mushy and sad and very romantic and that was certainly true. Carl and Ellie’s life and romance was very sweet and sad and great and made me cry. The little jokes about what it feels to be old were funny too. I think the movie was a bit too long in the middle section but the emotional core of the story was so strong and wonderful. I don’t know if children would even get it, but Pixar has always been good with storytelling for adults. Carl was certainly one of the best Pixar characters.
