Seasons' greetings

[rosa_cotton]

*POP! Appears like a genie* I am back, again! I need to try to not just post once a month. Real life...

*I hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving. Mine was very nice. It was fun catching up with family and playing games. And now Christmas is just around the corner!

*Happy (very) Belated Birthday, indes_elfwin! *hugs* Hope you enjoyed your special day. :D

*My to-read list now reaches the floor thanks to a two-day trip of visiting ten libraries and borrowing several dozen books. ;D

*Last week I saw the first two discs of The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries season 2. There were five Hardy Boys episodes and two crossover episodes featuring all three detectives.

First, the crossover episodes, about Dracula and the Hollywood Phantom, I really enjoyed. Frank/Nancy... Both so stubborn. At times she worried about him. He wanting her to stay out of danger. The kiss. SQUEE!!!!

Second, ARGH! I got so so frustrated with Frank in most of the episodes. He nearly fell for one in every episode. I wanted to slap him upside the head when he shared that unexpected-but-would-have-spent-the-rest-of-my-life-with-you-if-possible kiss with that random, unimportant chick (a stranger!) in the Hollywood Phantom. He must be taking over Joe's job in the romance department. I was quite disappointed with him. He wasn't this bad in season 1. At times I wished even Callie would have popped up to bring Frank back to his senses. My brother called him a man "unwilling to make a commitment." He sure is different from the faithful Frank of the books. Grrr.

*Hopefully I'll be able to borrow Wall*E from the library soon. From what I've seen of the trailers, the movie looks a lot more appealing than Cars and Ratatouille. And Wall*E is the cutest little robot!

*To wrap up, two videos of the day:

The Sweetest Sounds -- Aladdin, Anastasia, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast

Peter Pan a ballet!

Wall-E is adorable

Never saw Ratatouille, but it is definitely better than Cars.

Also, yeah, Frank seemed to turn into the ladies man in Season 2, which was insane. Poor Joe! I love the Pamela Sue Martin crossover eps (Dracula, Hollywood) more than the Janet Louise Johnson ones, definitely. Though Arson and Old Lace had potential, it fell short of that.

Also, what did you think of the Hardy ep Sole Survivor? To me, that's probably the best Hardy-centric ep of the season.

Yes, Frank's out of character-ness when it came to the girls was insane. Pamela Sue Martin has been growing on me, though she still isn't the Nancy I know and love. The chemistry between Frank and Nancy is also different from the books...but I like the flying sparks. And Joe has some real Joe moments while observing their relationship. :)

I haven't watched "Sole Survivor" yet. Hopefully I'll see it real soon.
