Elton John = Reg Dwight

I just got home from seeing My Sister's Keeper with Angela tonight. I didn't cry. (But I cried during Up last weekend. Twice. Hmm.) I think tonight I was just too concerned with Cameron Diaz being an over-protective mom, and the make-up job on Kate and how they got her to look so sick. It's not that I wasn't emotional tonight. I started to cry, but it takes a lot for the tears to actually fall and not just sit on my eyelids. I've heard that the movie ends differently than the book, so maybe the book can get some moisture out of my eyes. But first I need to finish reading The Guardian. And before I do that, I hope to have created my own C25K podcast. Here is a very overdue Daily DeMo. Edition 10 will be up soon!

P.S. MSK has a great soundtrack. Pete Yorn, Regina Spektor, James Blunt, Jeff Buckley... yum.

The Daily DeMo - Edition 9

DD69 :: Friday - Amelia Island is the only community in the USA that has existed under 8 different countries' flags.

DD70 :: Saturday - Putting up 12 window clings onto 6 windows in the morning sun is a very hot job.
My friends and I did some construction work for the Habitat for Humanity ReStore at Harry & Hillside. The ReStore sells new or gently-used appliances, fixtures, hardware and is open to the public. They have some pretty good stuff available. I'll try to post some before & after pictures because the changes that we made are incredible.

DD71 :: Sunday - I learned today that Angela's husband Doug has never eaten at Sonic. (How is that even possible?!?!)

DD72 :: Monday - Approximately 2000 coyotes are living in Chicago.

DD72.1 :: How the soda jerk got to be called a jerk.

DD73 :: Tuesday - Nail houses. {Deputydog has become one of my new favorite blogs. If I could sit around and surf the internet all day and bookmark stuff, I would totally blog about it. I love that he does the research and has pictures for what he finds. http://deputy-dog.com/}

DD74 :: Wednesday - A Pitney Bowes survey found that "more than three-quarters of consumers still prefer to receive their coupons in their mailbox. E-mail was consumers' second preference for coupon distribution, newspaper inserts third." {What do you prefer? Did you know that you can now load up coupons on your Dillon's Plus Card? I tried it the other day and it really does work.}

DD75 :: Thursday - John Wayne's name used to be Marion Morrison. Walter Willis changed his name to Bruce when he realized that it would look better on billboards. Elton John changed from Reg Dwight.
