Not one particular topic
The prom theme at my old high school this year is Casablanca (one of the best movies of all time, I first watched it the second time I took film class). I guess they wanted someone who looks like Humphrey Bogart for affect. So a few months ago my dad gets a call from someone on the prom committee asking if he will ‘pose’ as Bogart at the prom. So the old man, all 68 years old, is going to the Valley City High School Senior Prom. I told my mom to take lots of pictures.
Can someone please explain to me the big deal with the royal wedding? I have no interest in the royal family and don’t understand why people in this country still do. For some of you, this might come as a surprise, but way back in 1776, we declared our independence from Great Britain so we don’t have any official ties to that country. I heard on the radio that the wedding costs 33 million dollars and the bride and groom want guests to make donations to charities instead of purchasing gifts. I’m assuming that the tax payers have to pay for the wedding? Here’s a crazy thought, cut costs a little, like two million dollars, and take that money and donate it to charities for kids or for services for people with disabilities.
The tv show The Office is one of my favorite shows of all time. The main character Michael Scott, played brilliantly by Steve Carrell has left the show. In fact his final episode aired last Thursday. What I most enjoy about this show is the characters actually seem like they are real and while the Michael Scott character says and does things that makes me cringe as a boss, he had a genuine concern for his employees that you often don’t see in real life. I find myself wondering how well the show will do without him. I think it will be fine as the show seems to have excellent writers.
My six year old daughter was watching icarly on Nickelodeon. At a point in the show, Carly was kissing her boyfriend while standing up. Kendra says, “They better sit down before they fall.”
