Thanksgiving 08

Well, for thanksgiving we went to my uncle Dave and aunt Laurie's. It was fun. There was soooooo much food there, it was amazing! All of the older girls hung out in Anne's room listening to Phantom of the Opera music and They Might be Giants and Bohemian Rhapsody. Well, when we came to "Fingertips" by They Might be Giants, we decided that we had to do a music video.
*A Brief Explanation~if you've never heard Fingertips before then you likely won't have a clue why we "had" to do a music video. The song is really spontaneous and makes little sense, and sings like one verse of a really random line (i.e. aren't you the guy who hit me in the eye...yeah, that is in the song) and then breaks off and switches to another random line (i.e. please pass the milk), so it's really fun to act out and take pics. Anyway, moving on.

We had to stop in the middle for lunch, which was really good, and then we hung out and talked for a bit and then finished our video. Then Anne and I spent the rest of the day editing it and putting it to the music (actually, Anne edited it and I sat there (most likely in the way) and gave my opinion ;0). It was pretty fun. When we finished it, we took the laptop into the dining room and showed the video to all the girls (we had to play it several times before everyone had seen it), and then everyone was leaving and so we packed up all our stuff and left and went home and watched Spiderman, which was ok, I guess. But I liked Batman better. And in case you were wondering, Superman is lame too. In my opinion. And I can't wait to see the Dark Knight because it comes out on DVD on Tuesday and my daddy said we could watch it!!!!!! And we borrowed Sense and Sensibility (the old one and the new one) and Persuasion from Anne and I can't wait to watch those either. And my shoulder hurts because my dad and uncle are putting baseboard in the downstairs right now, so all the chairs are upstairs and the computer is in the middle of the room and I am sitting trying to type in a recliner and recliners are evil chairs for typing in, so I'm going to stop because my shoulder hurts. And....yeah.

First- the title of your last post (i've decided) is a line in a phantom of the opera song. And second- BIG BUMMER! I went to upload the fingertips movie, and guess what? All the pictures had X's on them and only played black screen. I have to remake it! (which I have already almost done) As soon as it is finished (again) I will promptly burn you a copy.
