Weekly Wrap Up (Nov. 28 - Dec. 4)


Okay, let me put my grinch hat on :yes: 

Has anyone got sick of the shall we call them 'Lifetime' Christmas movies? :P I mean, they are all basically the same story, just different actors and slightly different stories. But there is always a woman, who has a male adversary at the beginning. The scheming and cajoling and finally they admit they are in love with each other and everything survives what was in peril at the start of the movie. :) The bakery, the Christmas tree farm, shall I go on?:gikkle: Okay, call me out. I have had absolutely nothing else on and may or may not have seen a few myself 0:) The thing is they are on every channel and since 'merican Thanksgiving, they are on all the time!!

Well you knew it was coming, you had to! I was driving and listening to the radio yesterday and they were talking about new movies out this weekend. This weekend Netflix released a movie called Single Bells. Yep, it is your gay equivalent 'Lifetime' Christmas movie :gikkle: If you want, watch it and come back to the blog and share your opinions.

Make sure you read the rest of the Wrap Up before you run to log into Netflix :D 

Monday was the day we wrapped up the November CSR with the Discussion Day. Did you see Dabeagle's interview?

On Wednesday, did you get astone's December edition of Ask An Author? It was well worth the read.

Friday was the return of our all new Prompt Team and they gave us a couple of festive prompts? I guess I should say I liked all the comments in the blog :unsure:.

:P

 

Saturday was a return to our Article's Feature from Comicality:

Much the same thing could be said about the Hallmark movies. I think they have more Hallmark Christmas movies than Hallmark Christmas cards.

My wife is fixated on the Hallmark Movie Channel which is running Christmas movies full time.  Ughhh!

You have my utmost sympathy. Who knew there were so many tiny countries with eligible royal princes?

I'd rather watch Season 2 of Alex Rider on Amazon.

I'm happy to say we don't have those Christmas or Hallmark movies in Denmark. ;) But I may have to check out Single Bells on Netflix if anyone here thinks it worth watching.

I guess it's why they got away with the one with the Danish prince.

They actually filmed one of those eligible prince ones in the town I used to work in, so of course I had to watch it :unsure:  I haven't managed to catch the sequel yet, though :P

Anytime I want to go do something and Noah says no, I say, "But Noah..." followed by a half-twirl to face him, "... it's Christmas!" 

Damn, I can’t get that picture out of my head.:gikkle: I guess that comes with the territory when you have your pic as your avatar. Of course, your expression is pure imagination!:rofl:
