the sound of music
ohhhhh.
my gosh.
i am the biggest retard ever. also the biggest dork. its 8pm friday night, i just finished dinner and i'm sitting on the floor in front of my tv watching... you guessed it... The Sound of Music.
i've only seen this move 3,476 times, have literally every word of every moment of the movie memorized and can sing and dance along with the entire cast... yet here i am. 27 years old. sitting on the floor watching like it was my first time.
what can i say. this movie was tradition in my home growing up. i just love it.
sad as it may be.
anyway... did you know Captain von Trapp was played by Christopher Plummer!?! and that these are the same. people!!!?!?!?!
HOLY MOLY PEOPLE... i had NO idea! i'm still getting over it.
its almost like the day i found out the Andy Griffith show guy was the same as the Matlock guy!
i was picking my jaw up off the floor for days. amazing.
anyway. i've got the rest of this movie to view, some packing to do, and then some sleep to get. i'm off to st. louis for Easter tomorrow morning, early early. i bid you all farewell...
so looooong, farewellllll, i hate to say good-byeee-eyeeee
*sigh*
love it.
have a fantastic easter weekend. i'll catch you on the flip side!

You need to watch more of TV Land when you get a chance for a whole weekend - lots of shows with people who you did not know about or know now.

**Guitar Strumming a slow walz, Captain Von Trapp walks into a solitary spotlight**
"Edelweiss, edelweiss,
every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright,
You look happy to meet me.
"Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow,
bloom and grow forever.
Edelweiss, edelweiss,
Bless my homeland forever."
***sniff. I'm all verklempt.***

hey! like your new header (or is it not new...i've been reading you off bloglines, i admit...). but yeah, sound of music? the best. ever. gives me goosebumps and good homesickness feeling and the need to sing and run around the mountain side.
sigh.

I watched that last night too! You are not alone in the land of retards. I watch it just to hear Capt. Von Trapp sing "Eidelveiss." SIGH....

I'm 45 and I watched it. The twins were glued to it. Some of my first piano recital pieces were selected from "The Sound of Music." It is timeless.

I watched part of Friday night, part on Saturday night, and I have a sneaking suspicion that I will watch it again tonight. I actually was singing along - maybe I need to buy this movie.

Dude-- I can't believe you didn't know about Christopher Plummer being Capt. von Trapp.
You should see Somewhere in Time w/ Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve. Plummer is SUPER "older man hot" in that. Dreamy *sigh*...
