Not Feeling Very Crafty

puppetmakerI have a number of projects that I need to do. A couple of those need to be done within the next day or so. Now I have to dig deep and find the energy to make these things that need to be made. I do have the materials for what I want to do. Pressing deadlines tend to make me figure things out faster. Which is not the best place to be in.
We saw "Juno" last night. It was a nice little film about teenagers and pregnancy and growing up quickly. Dynamite cast that took the script, which was a good script, and made it sing. It looked like it was done on a budget of $1.29 but it didn't matter. The look was good and the music was fun (Ariel wants the soundtrack) and it worked on so many levels. It is what I call a bittersweet film.
I was looking around to see what they produced for Golden Compass and, except for some action figures, everything is on the high end of the scale in terms of price. Plus there is no alethiometer available even though there were some nice prototypes on display at Toy Fair this past year.
Caroline made out like a bandit in the toy department for her birthday and Hanukah. She has been trying to play with all her new toys in turn so they all get used. She loved her new table and chairs. She has spent a lot of time at it playing with her other toys that she got.
"Pushing Daisies" is new this evening but close to the last episode that they have in the can. Television is going to become much easier to watch in the New Year or rather not watch. I can only take so much reality (say close to none or one) and game shows only work for me if there is some component of skill or knowledge rather than just random chance which many of them are these days. I will not be surprised to see Match Game come back soon since the Actors don't have much work and the networks are looking for old game shows to revamp.
I am grateful for sewing machines that work.
