Want a commission? Try asking me.
I have to say that 45 feels pretty much like 44. All the same aches and pains. On the day itself, Opal and I went out to lunch at the local (and very cool) hot dog place. They even gave me a free brownie, which I was not expecting. After that we went to a matinee of Brave at the local "cheap" theater, for $7.50 a seat! Holy mackerel! I shudder to think what a seat at the pricey theater would run.
The movie was very good, as expected, and Opal definitely wants a copy of the film, and the soundtrack, and the toys...
I was impressed by everything but some of the horse movements. They seemed to work harder on the bears than the horses (which makes sense, I suppose), and there were a few times Angus really looked weird (to me at least). In the less active scenes, though, he was totally awesome (beautiful model, with some animation issues). I heartily recommend the flick, and rate it up there with Lilo for a "make sure your daughters see this" movie.
Rochndil, who was a bit disappointed by the spoiler toys...

Is it sad I feel like the old grandparent with the good old day talks? How matinees were $4.00 not $8. Somebody smack me when I start drawing in the snow up hill both ways on the wall with a burnt stick. :)
