The voice

Hi. I watch the voice. and I like it. and the fact that I like it enough to write about it... makes me feel like I need to shut down my Internet for a week and read.
 
I am going to justify it and say I am enriching my mind with musical education. yup going with it.
 
I watched it last season. and frankly I don't even remember who won. I don't think I cared for them much.
 
This season my favorites are  Mackenzie Bourg, Terry Mcdermott, and Melanie Martinez. They just really stood out to me from the beginning. and I just love them more and more.
 
 
Mckenzie is Jane's hipster love. ( I think it's hipster week) and when he said call me maybe... I said it was nice knowing you ( see what I did there. clever eh?)  I thought all his adorable hipster Harry Potter-ness would vanish..... nope still got it.
 
also?
Cee lo... creeps me out
Christina... needs better clothes and wants to create an army of Minny x-tina's and drive me insane with her use of x-tina. seriously. stop. now.
Blake.. I used to like. but now its like a lot of styles go way over his head and he mumbles something about pitch instead of coaching.
Adam. has a funny smile where his eyes disappear. and he is great.
 
Ok I am done... and I should go to bed... and turn of my laptop... and read a book... or get a life... or vow to never talk about reality tv again.
 
ok. the end.

Brave: A movie review.


I went to an early showing of Disney and Pixars Brave on Wednesday. 

It was a way cute show. I loved the short at the beginning, and the movie itself definitely had it's moments. 

It was very funny, however it was fairly predictable. Ok it's a fairy tale so we are all supposed to know how it ends anyway I guess.

All in All, Cutes show, and Merida's hair is fabulous. Really. there should be a fan club. 

Check it out! it comes to theaters this Friday

It's Called a Kilt.....Helllooo!

Brownie points if you caught my adapted movie reference.

They say that your brain is so good at adapting that when given a pair of special glasses that turns everything upside down, it takes your brain two days to adjust and it sees everything right side up.

That's basically how I feel after my two days at the Scottish Festival. men in skirts is normal right? haha

On Friday and Saturday, Hiccup invited us to come to a Sottish Festival he was playing his pipes in. so much fun!
This is me laughing at the poor kilted man trying to sit down and be modest. It was really windy. I named him Marilyn. I thought it terribly witty. Him not so much.

My cute sister was my buddy for the day!

So graceful.


The games! 

Caber toss! So cool!

I think this is called sheaf toss. They stab those bags with pitchforks and toss them over bars high in the air.



Cabers, aka huge heavy logs.


Waiting for Hiccups Band to perform! 


It was Sooo windy; our poor hair was beyond help

Here they come. I have video. I will post it soon

Hiccup

What a stud. He was on the News on Friday promoting the games,  His face is blown up on a poster in the deli. He is basically famous.

food is good


Thanks for such a fun day Hiccup!

It was fun to be Scottish for a weekend!!
