Talking Bout Last Night

You know, Fry's Electronics is a bad place for me to go with any cash in my wallet.

I always hit the DVD aisle. I don't even let myself look at tv's. Frankly, I get pissed that I don't have a few grand to drop on a flat, itty bitty, super high res tv, so I stay out of that aisle.

Instead, I indulge myself with random purchases to add to my dvd library. Last night I was specifically looking for "Labrynth" (just released), and "The Dark Crystal" (ditto) and "The Last Unicorn" (don't laugh, but MidSis and I LOVED this as a kid, and hey...MidSis? Guess what I found....the entire Thundercats on DVD for $50....).

Did I find any of those theatrical greats? Ok, David Bowie in big hair and tights isn't exactly great theater, nor, I suppose, do movies about muppets and cartoon unicorns that turn into beautiful maidens qualify. As you've already suspected, the answer is a resounding no.

Instead, I purchased "Gentleman Prefer Blonds" (We're just two girls from Little Rock), "A Walk in The Clouds" (do NOT NOT NOT laugh...I think it's sweet, even if Keanu Reeves and a mummified squirrel have a lot in common) and "Caberet".

Now, I grew up in a family of Straight People. We All Appreciate A Good Musical. I, being a belty alto, appreciate any musical that has stuff in it that I can sing. "Caberet" qualifies (What good is sitting alone in your room/Commmeeee hear the music play). And it's a pretty good musical, and it deals with a lot of social issues (Nazis, abortion, free love, etc.).

I have never taken such a mocking in my entire life.

Really.
