Church, Playing Ball and Amanda Bynes

We had a shared lunch today at church which is pretty cool because there is always heaps of different and yummy food, not just the usual plain old rice and meat. After that, Hamish, Aonghas and I rehearsed our trio in front of Aunty Helen and the other performers again. She had asked us to play another Christmas hymn in addition to the piece we’re already performing. Originally we were going to play Deck the Halls, but when we realised that someone else was already performing it, I tried asking Aunty Helen if I could arrange another piece by Friday (performance night), but she wanted to watch us perform first. I hope it’s not because she couldn’t trust us! We decided not to play another piece.

Crystal came over to play with us again today, and when I got out the rugby ball and the ball pump and needle, Crystal took it off me and said she would pump the ball up while I went to get my cap. When I came out, I found the rugby ball still flat, the air pump with no needle! The needle had snapped and was stuck in the rugby ball! Of course Crystal was nowhere to be seen! We’re going to have to spend another 67c on a new needle.

Tonight we’ve just been tidying up the house – so many clothes! Tonight’s movies were Big Fat Liar, Sweet November and Urban Legend 2: Final Cut. Keanu Reeves definitely has featured in quite a lot of movies this week, from Hardball to Sweet November to The Gift. Big Fat Liar which starred Frankie Muntz (Malcom in the Middle) and Amanda Bynes was actually quite good, considering it was only a G rated movie, and I’m sure it was more than the fact that Amanda Bynes starred in it! Most G rated movies, or ‘Colgate Saturday Features’ as I like to call them (TV2 used to have a movie slot on Saturday nights sponsored by Colgate toothpaste, with little kids movies screening) are usually pretty gumbie and unrealistic. For example, the movie with the dog playing basketball or soccer or some other sport. OK so Big Fat Liar wasn’t completely realistic. No one would spend all their money flying all the way to Los Angeles to get some bigshot movie director to ring his parents to prove that he didn’t lie, but it was quite humorous, especially the evil mean movie directory (lost his name now). He wasn’t too ‘GET THEM YOU FOOLS!!!!’ nor the whacky type either.
