LittleCGC woke up early this morning, so she got to go on a morning walk with Dad down to the lobby Starbucks.

Universal 2020: Day 4
Saturday, August 21, 2021
Musical/Movie Project Week 25
Musical Monday - Avenue Q (2003)
This has always been a strange one for me. I always struggled with the idea of the puppets singing about the adult content. To be honest, I had never seen this one. Although I appreciated some of the music, I can't say I enjoyed the show itself. I guess I'm weird since I know it was a very popular show, and surprising I did like the ending, but it still wasn't for me.
Tune Tuesday - Porgy and Bess (1935)
So, I'm pretty sure we watched this one in college. It's been a few weeks since I watched this one again, and I still don't really remember. I'm sure if I started watching it again it would all come back, but as it stands now, all I can remember is "Summertime."
Wayback Wednesday - Citizen Kane (1941)
Throwback Thursday - Camp Nowhere (1994)
Seasonal Saturday -
I didn't have any Saturday movies planned during the summer, thinking I would just fill them in as the time came with movies that came up throughout the year. I have learned though that this was a blessing as these movies have become so difficult to watch during the summer.
Disney Dinner - The Little Mermaid (1989)
Musical/Movie Project Week 24
Musical Monday - Matilda (2010)
I have mixed feelings about this one. I thought the movie was great as a kid, but not so much as an adult. However, I think this show would have impressed me a lot more if I saw it in person on Broadway. I'm sure the children originally hired would have blown me away. And let's be honest, who can't help but to rock out to Revolting Children.
Tune Tuesday - Mmama Mia (2008)
This was fun to revisit. This is a fun show to turn on almost as background music. It's all upbeat and fun to sing along and it doesn't take a lot of concentration to enjoy.
Wayback Wednesday - Once Upon a Time in the West (1969)
Throwback Thursday - Heavyweights (1995)
I kind of cheated on this one. I didn't really watch it this week, but Patrick and LittleCJC watched it recently and I saw parts of it. This is one of those movies that leave you thinking you definitely were a kid when you last watched this movie. It wasn't a great film, but I guess it could have been worse.
Friday First - State Fair (1945)
This was just a sweet musical. If I'm being honest, no one song really sticks out and nothing in this one will probably stick with me, but it was sweet and enjoyable.
Seasonal Saturday - Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005)
