It's snowing up a storm here and thankfully our little snow baby and her parents got home safely before it got really bad. However we ventured out into the snow and cold to see a movie at the Ambler Theater. We could do that in this weather because we can walk there, Ambler is great for that. The snow wasn't very deep when we went into the movie but on the way home, big difference in only a couple of hours. The movie House of Flying Daggers directed by Zhang Yimou is dazzling the artistry, and cinematography wow and the story, beautiful, exciting, violent and sad ends appriately for us in a snow storm. I won't say anything else go see it for yourself.

The North Pole has been moved! The earthquake in the Indian Ocean that caused the Tsunami was powerful enough to move the north pole an inch. Scientists indicate that this happens but is more noticeable because the quake was so powerful.

We a went to see Trans Siberian Orchestra on December 26 it's an interesting combination as one of our group remarked 80's hair metal meets Beethoven, along with a light show and fireworks. We all had a good time and the show seemed to be a crowd pleaser but it wasn't, as it turned out, my cup of tea. We didn't know what to expect when we went and I thought the light show was very interesting. I'm glad everyone likes to try going to different things. Earlier in the month we had been to see Beatlemania Again and the group did a great job with the Beatles songs and a couple of us enjoyed singing along to the ones that we knew (while others rolled their eyes). I didn't get into it as much as I would have liked though the mood wasn't there in the staging and in me. They were a real crowd pleaser to and we all really did have fun.
