what I did last weekend

Before another weekend winks and goes, let me talk about what I did over the weekend. After dance, J, me and K went for the movie, "13 and going on 30". J enjoyed for reasons best known to her.

It's one time watchable. Liked the fact that the lady in lead finds herself as a thirty year old and working for a magazine. Media has always attracted me. I have tried writing for some very famous magazines but the very few times I have tried, they have never been selected:-( . She finds herself seen as a snob by people around her.
It's about getting a chance to go to the future and then back in time and save what you still have.

Went bowling after the movie and I really pondered, What if the ball remains behind and I go rolling instead? The first three attempts went down the drain. By the fourth, one of the staffs came up and showed me how to hold the ball and throw. Even J started performing. Many times I failed but, I remember the only time I managed to down all the pins. We call the targets, 'pins' right? If it's wrong somebody correct me. Yeah! my day rather my night was made.

Then, we went hogging ice creams in 'Corner House' and came back triples in Kevin's bike avoiding the main road, traffic police and singing "Anda Anda Anda" from "Zodi No.1"

Watched "Dance with me" on sunday. What legs! what dances and what moves! There was one song which we also dance in the class. Was really happy to see that.

So, folks I am having the time of my life. touch wood! rosewood! teakwood!
(please don't give up on me. I'll try to post at least two times a week. )

I order 'Rum Iceroy' cos it's got rum ice and roy:-) talks about my appetite. But my friends should order something else, so that I dig from their shares too on the pretext that mine is a bit bitter.

and Knocking down all remaining pins during the second ball delivery is called Spare.Delivery that rolls off the lane into the gutter is gutter ball.We have a tamil movie too titled "New" with the same theme.Here its hero who turns from 8 to 28.Although it did well commercially it got lamented by critics for vulgar dialogue.

Thank you for posting the My Fair Lady Lyrics. Its interesting to reread the original Pygmalion by GBS to see that all the great lines in the L & L lyrics are there in the original play. The G Kukor film is just about my first desert island choice: I can watch it endlessly. It almost makes the idea of life with it, Alfred P Dolittle, and nothing else appealing.
