Yup, its taken ten years but i've finally watched Saving Private Ryan. such a good movie. so many actors who went on to do other stuff. but man, did i wish i had a tissue *sheepish*
I think Band of Brothers is still my favourite though. i just love Damien Lewis' character Capt Winters so much. but this was cool, Pvt Ryan being from Easy Co. i knew nothing about the film when my dad bought it the other day and i caught a snippet of it from the other room when he watched it and they were like "oh, yeah, with the 101st" and i go, "oh, Easy Co." BoB was like being a part of the company and also less main characters actually died since they were being interviewed yrs later. SPV was just so sad.
and good old Mrs Bixby. we had that question several times in Knowledge Bowl every year but we could never seem to remember her name. you can learn almost everything you need for KB from enough movies.
In other news, i have a dentist appt tomorrow to fix a chipped tooth. its sure to be horrendous.
i meant to read the next 50 pgs of Heir to the Empire today but i was too busy with the fam. we had pizza and i made a pineapple upside down cake (out of an iron skillet even) and we played skittles with the new set my nephew got for his birthday. all lots of fun. and my sister gave me some pretty cool shop links and designer names off/for ebay.
must go to bed. i cant believe in a week i'm going to have to start getting up early enough to make a 7:30am class. thats just sick.
