So, let me just say, I do know that my last few posts have been me-watching-TV and then flailing, but, in this case, it's justified: ABC Family is playing the Cinderella from 1997 and Victor Garber is the King, and oh my god. He is so awesome. For one, he was wearing a hot pink brocade coat, and being wryly awesome with his wife, Whoopi Goldberg. And between them, they produced... an asiany kid. Because this movie is all about ignoring races, to an awesome result. I also have an intense soft spot for this movie because I watched the movie version with Leslie Ann Warren and Ginger Rogers when I was wee and loving the music and I do love all musicals, BUT. This movie is particularly awesome because: Victor Garber.
Last night after my cousin's graduation party, my mom and I watched Yentl and, holy lord, guys. I mean, I know that really, it's a girl, but the amount of faux ho!yay was enough to get me giggling. And then Amy Irving was there in her early eighties glory, which, again, makes me all, "hi, Sloane did not need to cheat cause he had an ugly wife," because she was gorgeous, if a bit frizzy. Also, there are so many things wrong with the whole idea of that story.
Also, there's not much to do here in Miami. I was too late to register for summer A at MDC, so all that was left was summer B or 12 week classes and that doesn't work, so: slightly screwed. And I still don't have a place to live. Woe.
