Blue Roses

Man, was it an nsync night. LOL Kate and I went at 7 to get On the Line from Blockbuster. She decided to ask the guy if they had gotten PopOdessey in since Sunday. I mean, we were renting On the Line. How much farther down could we go? Well, it turned out that they did get in two copies. So we bought it for Josh. LOL And it is for Josh, honest...he'll get it on Sunday. I think he'll enjoy it. But first, we watched it to make sure it wasn't defective. ;) It was quite amusing. They did my favorite remix of It's Gonna Be Me, the one-two-three-to-the-four one. They rode the bulls, and they rode them hard and thrusty. <.g> And during Gone, Justin emoted on the floor, kneeling but bent backwards flat on the floor and thrusting up, although they didn't show enough of that last part. They did, however, show the looks on the fans' faces who were closest. LOL That was amusing. It really seemed like a fun concert...I kinda wish I had gone to see them. Hilda, one of the therapists at the clinic last summer, went with her nieces. She said it was a good show, but she wasn't overly impressed. I could see how she could feel that way, but really...the bulls. And the thrusting. And handholding. It kinda makes up for everything.

So we watched all of that tape, and started OtL just before 9. Jennie took my advice and had some margaritas first and during to ease the pain, but I took it cold sober. <.g> It was just as bad as I remembered, but I still love it so much. Lance singing...Lance adorable...Lance casual....Lance playing baseball...Lance with dark hair....Lance at a Cubs game. What's not to be loving here? And I adore Joey's voice....wrote "Ready to Fall" for Kevin, indeed. <.g> I can't wait to get the DVD and see the deleted scenes, bloopers, and outtakes. And I think a new nsync video of some sort. But Jennie and I agree that the "behind the scenes" in the credits are the best part of the movie. "I wanna see this from CHI-NA." LOL It seriously took me 3/4 of the movie, though, to catch on to Lance's roommate's name. LOL (it's Randy, BTW) I only got that from the closed captioning, too! They said his name about 20 minutes after I read it, then. So annoying. But during the credits, when they're all singing with Al Green, the guy playing Randy picks GQ up and twirls him around and then hugs him. Movements that were paralleled by Lance and Emmanuelle. <.g> Pretty cute.

I just wish the script had had one more rewrite. Make the bad guys (Brady, Paul) less one dimensional, make GQ less annoying, fix some rough scenes, etc. And what was with GQ having that speech on the train about love being so great? It so didn't fit his character...his character never got to that point emotionally. My theory is that it was Rod's speech, but Joey didn't have time to learn it between finishing the album and being gone for a week of filming when Brianna was born. Because it would have definitely fit Rod's character far better. Who knows, though.

Okay, I got almost nothing done today. Tomorrow, Ihave to write my MI paper. At least half. That's my goal...to be at least half done by the new West Wing. Let's hope.
