All the gold in California is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills, in somebody else’s name.
Getting this house ready has been very hard work. Hubby and I still managed to get a few big things moved. He is shooting for next Friday as when we will be moved in. I found some blinds to cover the windows in the doors and they look really good. Being that they are made of paper, I was a bit concerned about their durability, but they do work well. I will just have to be careful operating them. I do not understand why when I buy two blinds, only one of them are assembled. After a short study of the assembled blind, I managed to get the second one put together.
I also bought a couple of shower curtains at Fred's yesterday. Generally, Fred's has some really strange stuff like plastic elephant lamps and triple tiered wicker baskets chained together, filled with silk flowers, donning "morning dew" globs of clear plastic, but there are some really good deals to be found there. One curtain, I really like alot. The other one is drug inspried. I swear, the fabric of this thing was printed in a pot leaves and poppies design. It's quite the bizarre shower curtain. Too bad they did not have a shower curtain depicting St. John the Baptist. That would have been a most excellent time.
I watched Elektra sunday morning. I had heard that it was really a horrible movie, but I found it to be okay. Wasn't Charlize Theron in a movie portraying Aeon Flux? Yeah. I was thinking that it had been released last year, but it's just now premiering. I might have to check that one out too, when it hits the video store or comes on cable.
I do not go to the theater much, only when there is something that I really do want to see. The last movie I saw in the theater was "Walk the Line", in December. I was impressed with how much Joaquin Phoenix gets Johnny Cash, and he is doing the singing too.
The movie I saw in the theater before that was in 2003 when Luther was released, but never came to Monroe. I dragged my husband to Jackson, (an hour and a half drive) just to see it. It was kinda funny because here we were sitting amongst every Lutheran in the state of Mississippi. The Mississippi Lutherans enjoyed the movie so much that at the end of it, they were compelled to give a standing ovation to a blank screen.
After that experience, I was not sure how to act when I saw "Walk the Line". I enjoyed it immensely. When it was over, I looked around the theater to see if just perhaps there was a standing ovation. There was none, not even applause. As my readers my see, going to the movies is quite confusing for me.

Clapping after movies IS a strange phenomenon. It seems to usually occur after a somewhat "specialized" movie that has a "specialized" audience viewing it at the time, like Lutherans at Luther (which I am assuming is about Martin Luther). I think people may have clapped after Fahrenheit 911, for example. Seems kind of silly to me, but it is fairly rare.
