I saw Amadeus (music major, remember??), Field of Dreams (I like Kevin Costner--especially in No Way Out...watch that one), Ordinary People (makes me cry), Saving Private Ryan (too long, but a good story), Schindler's List (yuck), Terms of Endearment (double yuck), and To Kill A Mockingbird and Wuthering Heights (required reading at the local high school in 9th and 10th grade).The Mean Sister (who is 5'6")noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052406779197845814.post-89365606481069689482009-02-15T05:42:28.000-05:002009-02-15T05:42:28.000-05:00Sorta Blogless Sunday Pinup...Happy Sunday!
