You minx.
What beautiful flowers. And sweet boys.

[Judg]

Congratulations on a happy Mother's Day!

La Senza from your son? I can't imagine my boys doing that. Even the one who is overly fond of crude jokes shrivels up in horror at the thought of my sex life. LOL! I suspect that when I leave my lacy bras hanging to dry in the shower, he does his very best to not look.

Wednesday

My Daughter left this morning at 7:30 to go to Ottawa. Her band was invited to the "Nationals".
They play tonight at 10, stay overnight and come back tomorrow.

My "plan" for the day was to finish my Kraft Dinner Student's marking.
That didn't happen. I did some, but I wasted a LOT of time online today.

I think I just needed a mental "holiday" from the Silent Movie deadline. Time to breathe.

Tomorrow I'll finish it.

Really.

[winencandy]

Ok, I thought I'd post the Silent Movie graphics, so you can see what I've done.
Remember these are my 1st Photoshop drawings. (well, they are more like creative collage tracings)
I'm going to include the narration. After each narration, the graphic appeared and the band played about 8 bars of music (a different song for each character):

Narrator: A Nickelodeon Melodrama – The Saga of Larry Laroo

Band: Introduction



Narrator: This is a story of friendship, trust, and dastardly deeds. Our hero is Larry LaRoo.

Band: Turkey in the Straw



Narrator: Larry has received a letter from his dear old friend, Sweet Nelly Nicely.

Band: Oh, You Beautiful Doll



Narrator: Nellie has won a prize in a dance contest, a pair of Golden Slippers.

Band: Oh, Dem Golden Slippers



Narrator: She needs Larry’s help because someone has stolen her Golden Slippers.

D Band: Oh, Dem Golden Slippers



Narrator: For help on his quest to help Nellie and find her missing slippers, Larry calls on his old pal, Sagebrush Simon.

E Band: I’m a Good Old Pal

[winencandy]

Narrator: So Sagebrush climbs on his mule, and Larry mounts his trusty steed Fred.

Band: The Old Grey Mare



Narrator: Off they go to meet up with Sweet Nelly Nicely.

Band: Oh, You Beautiful Doll



Narrator: They meet Nelly in Deadwood. Nellie has heard that a friend has some information about her missing slippers. And so it’s Westward Ho!, off to see Little Big Chief Running Nose.

Band: Indian War Chant



Narrator: At the Indian village they learn that the Golden Slippers…

Band: Oh, Dem Golden Slippers



Narrator: …have been stolen by Terrible Ted Tumbleweed.

Band: Scary theme



Narrator: The Chief says, (in chief’s voice) “Ted, he headum West!” So away they go after Ted and the slippers.

Band: William Tell

[winencandy]

Narrator: On the trail they meet a mysterious lady dressed in red.

Band: My Darling Clementine



Narrator: She is accompanied by three very short miners, Weenee, Beenee and Sneezey.

Band Wiffenpoof Song



Narrator: Sneezy exclaims, (in Sneezy’s voice) “Terrible Ted (sneeze!) is headed (sneeze!) to his cabin on the (sneeze!) mountain.” And off they go, up the mountain.

Band: On Top of Old Smokey



Narrator: The group camps for the night. (agitated) When they awaken the next morning, Nellie is missing and the tracks lead up the mountain to Terrible Ted’s cabin. Now he has the Golden Slippers and Nellie. Larry sends Sagebrush to town on an important errand. He and the Chief close in on the cabin of Terrible Ted Tumbleweed.

Band: Scary theme



Narrator: When they reach the cabin they inform Ted that he is surrounded and he must give up. Ted yells out (in Terrible Ted’s voice) “I want $50,000 or you will never see Nellie or the slippers again.” Just then, Sagebrush arrives with Old Granny Tumbleweed.

Band: M-O-T-H-E-R



Narrator: Granny pleads with her son, (in Granny’s voice) “If you give yourself up, sonny, I’ll bake you your favorite Sweet Tater Pie.”

Band: Eating Goober Peas
