Planet Glee, JUNO, and BLAME IT ON FIDEL

Last Friday I had some fun--not enough--singing. Yes, I sing. My way. It's pretty off sometimes but then it's pleasant. Pleasant pheasant. That's my voice...a pheasant. My voice is like Planet Glee. Out there.

So, on Friday night I sang with my guest, Jack from the Bargain Basement Band. I played and sang with him and his wife (the second member of the Bargain Basement Band duo) on the Bro Jud on Love Energy Show. He has always wanted me to sing the song by Martha and the Vandellas, "Heatwave." What I didn't know was that he wanted to sing with me on it. I was prepared to sing my version of "Heatwave," but I couldn't. That doesn't meant that it wasn't possible to make some fun out of myself on the show.

I had some fun watching the film JUNO. The acting was really good. It was ironic that the two "famous" actors in the film played the yuppie couple who could rock. Yes, the film is stupid, too. I just really like the expression "...you're having a food baby."

There was a baby at the decentric center of the French film BLAME IT ON FIDEL. The child is supposed to carry the film. I was thinking that maybe French children are so intelligent that this film might be one a 9-year-old might watch. For adults, it was a bit light...sharing, community, etc. I wish Fidel could be blamed for a successful attempt at civil rearrangement that the child's parents are trying to achieve in Allende's Chile. Viva Sandinista.
