christmas rocked

The geddes fam had an awesome Christmas filled with family, food and festivities. (very horrible pics are coming) Aside from my other superb gifts, {thank you one and all, you're too kind} Dan got me this Fender guitar. It's perfect for a beginner such as myself. Is my hubbie cool or what? Thanks Dan-o!

P.S. I'll be working my little fingers off to learn. Prepare yourself for me rocking 10 times harder!

Kitty Kitty

Eartha Kitt passed away. You may have heard her serenading you from my Christmas playlist. She was an awesome catwoman, hilarious as 'Isma', and my leg idol.

Here's some more fluff

I think surveys are fun. Here's one I stole from Tina

Let's be honest

What did Carolyn really think of recent movie releases?

TRAIN WRECK




And very like a train wreck you can't not look at it! The acting was bad (Kristen Stewart excluded), the score was BAD, and the directing was bad, but when given the chance to see it again, I offered to buy the tickets! {And I'm looking forward to seeing it again.} Oh Twilight, you never were a healthy thing for the female population.
In the immortal words of John Lennon:
I saw a film today, oh boy! ... A crowd of people turned away, but I just had to look, having read the book.


LAMENESS














Sure, Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon had their funny moments, but the movie as a whole was not funny. And most of the good parts you can watch on the trailer for free.
Save yourself the $9.


UTTERLY BEAUTIFUL

Don't listen to the critics on this one!

The backdrop: beautiful

The story: beautiful

The characters: beautiful

Hugh Jackman: beautiful.

I cried my eyes out.
