Sakura Bloom Sling Diaries: Expression
an underground house in italy.
in civita di bagnoregio, there is about the coolest house ever. it’s carved into the volcanic stone, and has these amazing underground rooms. people ask me what my house is like? “meh, colonial.” how much more fun to be all, “oh, just a house carved into the volcanic stone with underground passages all atop a huge fortress-like mountain top in italia.” i mean, you’d never need a date night again. you, your hubs, a bottle of wine, and that pool?! done.

Parker’s first day at school.
All things Les Mis cause, let’s be serious, everyone’s talking about it so I might as well too.
Les Mis, Les Mis, Les Mis.
Let me be oneeeee moorrreeee person to say, “HELLS YES. IT WAS SO GOOD.”
Cause it was.
ALL THE OSCARS!
Anne Hathaway’s scene–if you’ve seen the movie, you know what I’m talking about–was out-of-this-world. I actually leaned over to Steve and said, “If I were her parents I’d be sooooo proud. Like, THAT IS OUR DAUGHTER.” Seriously, can you even imagine? And did you really appreciate that there was one take for her hair-cutting scene to get the music right? I mean, her hair was really being cut off and she was singing at the same time so girlfriend had to bring it. Woah.
All of it–the set, the music, the camera work. It was just really well done. So, since everyone’s Facebook status this week is OMG Les Mis was SO GOOD, I thought I’d throw a blog post into the pot cause why not?
Here’s a little round-up of sorts? Dedicated to Les Mis? Mmmkay?
+ A little parenting dos-and-don’ts as illustrated by Les Mis. Take Fantine for example. Kids require sacrifice. Would you sell your hair and teeth for your kid? No? What kind of parent are you? Obviously a bad one. Try again.
I hereby close my round-up of all things Les Mis. Anything to add?! Did you see it? Love it? Hate it? DON’T EVEN.
P.S. I came back to say that I thought Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter were sooooo good too. Master of the House scene was awesome. So quirky, so fun, so strange. But, really, I could have a million P.S.’s because everyone was good, so I should just stop.
