STUFFED THANKS

By this time we should all be TRYPTOPHANING.
Turkey all gobbled and are we all Pumpkin Pie-Eyed!?!
Let's talk about how WARM it was ALL DAY...For once the Rockettes didn't look like frozen dancedroids. They were actually smiling for real and looked like they were getting a great kick out in front of Macy's.
The parade looked so Commercial to me this year. I guess I am getting older and seeing through what I once thought was such a joyful, more innocent event. We commented on how Mickey Mouse is just NOT THERE anymore..nor Donald, Goofey and a few other old favorites....DUMBO was one I loved. Didn't see Mighty Mouse fly into view either!
I can't remember what the other commentators used to be like but these seemed
so DULL and trying so hard to be with it that it was white noise to the ears and eyes. Even Meredith Viera, who I usually find so personable, was stuck with Al Roker who was more fun when he was FAT!
And what is with the Lip Syncing?? We KNOW it is lip synced so at least can we see an effort on the performers part to try to look like they are trying!? This year it was worse than ever.. Ms. Judd actually throwing verbal hellos to the crowd while the soundtrack is singing what she is suppoed to be emitting.
Not even an attempt to look like Audrey Hepburn in MY FAIR LADY or sweet and achingly talented Natalie Wood in WSS!
Oh well...If they can technically make Britany Spears be on pitch why not ignore the track and, well just be??
Friends came by in the late afternoon and we ate and had some wine and talked till after 8PM.
After bitching about Bush and the state of political corruptions, electioneering, real estate and the declining dollar and the Stagehand's and Writer's strike..we finally gaveup and they decided to try and see ENCHANTED at the Zeigfeld. I thought about seeing it but felt I would likely pass out from all the turkey and snoozzzze.
UGLY BETTY was tuned in after they left so we missed the first half. LOVE THAT SHOW!
I am curently on the last 2 episodes of MARPLE 3 with Gwendolyn McEwam. Wonderful Series. I loved the Joan Hickson version as well..and Margaret Rutherford's zany interpretation was likewise a treat. I love the characters and the plots and am sort of addicted to it.
I recommend it to all!
Managed to get a box of those wonderful ELENI theme box (of expensive) cookies on sale at Chelsea Market. 2 for 1 at $30...a reduction from the $40 per box normal price. But it was yesterday and that was the eve and in store special. Also got 2 small chocolate turkeys..they are too pretty to devour..so far!
Hope you all have a great Black Friday and don't overspend tomorrow.
If it stays this warm they should knock down all the winter coats and accessories!!
Have a great time.
