My Movie Mix

My kids sometimes make me "Mix CD's" of songs they like that they think I might also like. And they are usually right about what I like. A few years back, one of them wrote "Mom's Totally Freakin' Sweet Mix CD" on one of them. And then another one did. And now I have a collection of "Totally Freakin' Sweet Mix CD's" in my car, and I love them. So when I started thinking I might like to write a movie review page, this was the title that popped into my head. And it has never left. So welcome to "Peg's Totally Freakin' Sweet Movie Review Page." I have been meaning to start this for years, and like many other things in life that I know are good ideas, I have put it off. Because I don't know which movie to start with, because I have too much homework or laundry to do, because I don't know what format to use, or which rules to apply, or how to lay out an awesome blog. And, and, and... and then today I read that Roger Ebert had died. And I and both my thumbs felt very sad and lost. I loved reading his reviews, and I loved that he loved movies as much as I do. And I saw pictures of him, ravaged by cancer, yet still smiling. And I realized that time is a precious thing, and I decided to start today, even though I don't yet know what movie I shall start with. So throw some popcorn in the microwave, and remember, in the immortal words of Indiana Jones... "I'm makin' this up as I go!"
