a desert island

Since today has been so…crazy, I’m going to simply share a lighthearted post today.  I have decided that if I were stuck on a desert island that conveniently has a tv and dvd player, I would bring Hairspray.  Why?

1.  Awesome music.  I can spend time learning the music for each instrument (which I so creatively make from the trees and coconuts).  I can also learn the lyrics to all the songs and learn the various vocal parts.

2.  Dancing.  With the shake and shimmy edition they’ll teach me all the dance steps.  Now, I don’t dance.  I don’t have the faintest clue what to do.  But, I can learn choreography thanks to my years with the junior high and high school show choir.  Am I good?  Hell no, I probably look like an idiot.  But it’s damn fun!  And a good workout, so I wouldn’t gain weight on my island.

3.  It feels good.  Seriously, the movie is just uplifting in every way.  I have a feeling that would be crucial on a desert island.  lol

Now, if you can come up with a movie that has better music, with dance steps that are doable for a non professional dancer with a good message, you just let me know.  But I am doubtful.
