Try this one:
"Today everything is different. There's no action. I have to wait around like everyone else. Can't even get decent food. Right after I got here I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce and I got egg noodles and catsup. I'm an average nobody."
On Netflix:
Barney's Version - I must admit that I like Paul Giamatti and he stars in this film as Barney Panofsky a Jewish Canadian television producer who recalls his life with his three wives. I didn't recognize Minnie Driver as his second wife. The story really focuses on his life with his third wife. Throughout, he tends to hurt those who love him the most. It is a poignant story. Dustin Hoffman plays his father and is wonderful in the role.
Just Go With It - Although you will know the ending of the film as soon as it begins, it was quite enjoyable. Jennifer Aniston plays Sandler's assistant and Adam Sandler is a plastic surgeon. Brooklyn Decker ss Sandler's latest love interest. You won't recognize Nicole Kidman as Aniston's college roommate.. Although I usually don't like Adam Sandler, he is very good in this role, but the scene stealers are the two actors playing Aniston's children. They are wonderful. Sy and I laughed out loud. Gone With The Wind it isn't, but for an enjoyable movie, rent this one.
Community Theater:
The Drowsy Chaperone at the Reston Community Center - This play first appeared on Broadway in 2006 and ran for over 600 performances. It did win some minor Tony Awards. The Reston Players did a fine job with it. It is a homage to musicals of old. The main character is listening to the recording of this play and it comes to life in his living room. Although the songs are forgettable, it was an enjoyable way to spend an evening. Our only complaint was the projection of some of the actors as we could not hear their voices when they sang or spoke and we were sitting in the sixth row! For a cheap night of theater, see this performance.
Nice Place to Visit:
Gettysburg - This week some friends and I went to Gettysburg. Believe it or not, Sy and I had never been there. It is a short ride from Norther Virginia about 90 minutes. We chose to stay over in a Bed and Breakfast. We started our day at the visitor's center with their movie, cyclorama and museum. This gave us a wonderful overview of this famous battle. The museum is first rate and we spent more than two hours there. That evening we ate in a wonderful restaurant and enjoyed the company of our friends. The next day we had an unusual type of tour. We had a personal tour of the battlegrounds. The guide actually came into our car and drove it to all the important sites of the battle ground. He was so knowledgeable and we learned so much. As I said it is only about 90 minutes away, so you could do it in a day. You won't be disappointed!
DWTS:
Can't believe that Chaz is still on and the last two stars voted off. Although Ricki Lake and RJ Martinez are good, I can't think of a third star who deserves to make the finals. Every season I say this is the last for me, but I keep coming back!
Enjoy the lovely fall weather at least until it starts to rain again here in the east.
