thing a day - day 3

whoo hoo! i've accomplished today's thing. hannah montana movie. sigh...

let me first say the the ticket prices for this movie (it's a MOVIE) are outrageous! $20 per person is much closer to what i expect to pay for a live concert (ok, so its been many, many years since i've been to a concert. blech). yes, you get "cool" 3-D glasses, but still - $20?

but once it was promised, i wanted to carry through - and so i did...

ok, 2nd - let me explain that i didn't intend to like the movie. i took my knitting with me. my intentions were clear.

but like it i did. that little girl has charisma. there is no denying it. the songs were relatively age appropriate. ok, i, like generations of parents before me wonders what a 15 year old knows about "love" - but still - it wasn't over the top or precocious. her costumes were tastefully age true - jeans, t-shirts, cute little skirts over leggings. i'm good with all of that. it's all blinged out and a little bright - but she's on stage, she's supposed to be blinged out...

there was even one song when me and my mom-cohort decided to "rock out" much to the embarrassment of our 7 year olds. a priceless moment when they looked at both of us and wondered what was wrong with us! they survived that moment because the theatre was blessedly empty. yes, homeschooling allowed us to go see the most popular movie in america with only 1 other family. a semi-private screening. whoo hoo...

the only down thing to the screening was that as the movie started, the film was out of sync with the sound. after 15 minutes i could no longer stand having my $40 movie drive me crazy. i had to complain - and they listened. not only did they instantly fix the movie - but we received free return passes for any movie of our choosing! ok, NOW i feel like i got my $40 worth!

so - thing a day, day 3 - Hannah Montana / Mylie Cyrus movie - done, check
