HAPPY HOLIDAY!

Just want to wish you all a very happy, healthy, and safe holiday. And here’s my gift to you all:

DON’T SEE NINE!!! I saw the Broadway show a number of years ago, and was already definitely not a fan. This movie was even worse. The friend I brought was jumping out of her skin to see it. I could tell that she wasn’t enjoying it just by the vibe. After about twenty minutes, she leaned over and said, “Boy, were you right!” Duh.

Just two of the excellent actors who wasted their time on the abysmal movie "nine."

There actually are a few positives: it’s always great to see Sophia Loren, Fergie (of whom I’m not a particular fan) sang great, Judi Dench managed to get two or three laughs out of the dumbstruck audience I saw it with, and best of all, Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the very few people I’ve ever heard pronounce “forehead” [“forrid,” kind-of] correctly!!! (It’s not really the “fore-head” most people say; that pronunciation was added to many dictionaries in recent years to keep up with the popular mispronunciation. I’ll explain more if I ever get my Grammar category up and running.)

So there you have it! A mini-review and grammar lesson, in one column! Nothing says “Happy Holiday” like a quick schooling!

HAPPY HOLIDAY! SEE YOU ALL AT THE SALES!
