Though I wanted this to be on a chronological time frame, I have nothing absolutely nothing left to say about my trip. It was great, I learned a lot, glad it happened, happy that I was there instead of going to work everyday, happy to be busy. Let's move on.
The flights home....well, I just couldn't seem to get it together...ever...sleep/eat/water, none of it, I was very glad to touch down in DC.
One bright spot is I saw the movie "Joyful Noise" with Queen Latifah, Dolly Parton, and Keke Palmer, (who I loved since Akellah and the Bee such a positive person)*....it was the same story of the over protective mom, and singing in a choir, going from church hymns, to new fresh music to win the competition.
I'm all about Queen Latifah directed movies (she has done a lot Just Wright, The Holiday, the one where she thought she was dying and LL Cool J was her boo) mostly because, well at least they are positive stories and they are not Tyler Perry-movie bad. LOL I told my sister this and she said but all those movies were bad too.
Well, bad is relative. Anyways back to the movie.
I loved the singing, got wrapped up in the storyline, loved the guy (he was a good actor), didn't understand the cuss words (sigh, am I becoming my mother), especially loved my boo from Rent, and General Hospital looking yummy good as Queen Latifah's husband. (PS...this worked, I cringed every time I saw Common with her in Just Wright)
Then I realized....they didn't sing any gospel songs, what? What kind of gospel movie doesn't have any gospel songs....ugh let's move on.
* Who wrote/directed Akellah and the Bee and The Great Debaters? I need to send them a check to make some more movies....gosh.
