*It's referendum day in Britain, and in all of the polls, the leave and remain sides are so evenly split that the result is too close to call. Either way, it'll be all over but the shouting by tonight. I'll be watching with interest- and hope. Go Brexit! * Last Sunday night, I got together with some family members and watched Fiddler on the Roof, which I hadn't seen in a few years. And it was great... really, I don't know why it's been so long since I've watched it. Actually, it's probably because it's so long- whenever I think about putting it on, I don't have time to watch the whole thing, so end up watching something shorter. It is, however, one of my favourite musicals, and it was a lot of fun to see it again. Chaim Topol is incredibly good as Tevye, and the music is wonderful as well. * On the weekend one of my sisters introduced me to Action Movie Kid, who appears in a series of videos made by his father, who adds CGI to these videos, turning his son into an action hero. These are well-made, funny, and incredibly cute. The puddle scene is the best. *I lent my set of Horatio Hornblower movies to a friend yesterday. This sort of thing is always a bit difficult for me. On one hand, I like to share good movies and literature with others. On the other hand, boy do I hate handing out my favourites. It's even worse with books... there are a few that I can't bear to lend; on occasion, I've bought copies of some of them to give so that I wouldn't have to lend mine. Sad, I know. Oh, well- I know my friend will take care of the DVDs, and we'll have fun discussing the films after she watches them.

About MeI'm a lover of good books, classic movies, and well-written shows (as well as some pretty cheesy ones, to be completely honest). Categories
