Sweet and Sagey

Things I love

This Lady

Bynney and I have been pals since about 2007. We were RAs together and lived across the hall from each other for a semester. I lived above her when we were RAs. She got married today and was absolutely stunning, as usual.

The Dutchman's Hidden Valley

This is a store on highway 281 in Hamilton, Texas. We used to stop at it on road trips, and it's just a fun place with good food and candy and gifts. It's practically in the middle of nowhere, too, so it's a welcome stop.

I got a peppered beef sandwich on rye.

Highway 281/Texas roadways in general

I LOVE this drive. Everything was green and the air smelled sweet and sagey. I definitely took a lot of pictures like this, many through my bug-smeared windshield.

Stopped at this roadstop to finish my sandwich and enjoy the green.

Sweet Charity

Watched this on Netflix, and I fell in love with it. I love the character of Charity Hope Valentine, and I love the ending. Dancing's not bad either. ;) I loves me some Fosse, Vereen, and Rivera!

I think a lot of the songs are rather ingenious, too...


Things I Don't Love
The Pajama Game
I watched this on Netflix just before Sweet Charity and decided to watch Sweet Charity just to redeem the night. I don't like Doris Day very much, felt that even for a musical the plot was very ill-formed, and that the performances lacked...well...performance.
Watch the movie version:


and the stage version in the tribute musical Fosse:


Maybe Meg Gillentine (from the second video) just has more sparkle. The love story also was pretty forced...bad acting all around. Sad.

Driving all the way home from Stephenville and realizing I left my shampoo, conditioner, and razor at the hotel.

Store tomorrow.
