I won't say Mary Poppins is my favorite movie ever, but it's the first movie I remember seeing as a child (at a drive-in, which was pretty much the only kind of movie we went to when I was really small). And I think we must have had the soundtrack - having thought about it now, I know we did - because I can dredge up virtually all of the words to all of the songs once I am reminded that they exist. (Maybe not ALL the words to the Suffragette song. But parts of that one, too, at least.) I haven't actually sat down and watched the movie in years. - Come to think of it, I did watch that Mr. Banks movie back a couple of years ago, though, which reminded me of a lot of bits that I'd forgotten.

I was amused by Christian Bale's speech, but let's just say that I am not his biggest fan, either. He's pretty much an ass, as far as I can tell. He can act, though.

I always say that I'm a meat-and-potatoes girl, so the low-carb thing lets me keep the meat but not the potatoes. I'm doing semi-okay with it so far but we'll see how it goes in the long-term. I don't feel particularly deprived so far, which is always a big sticking point on diets for me.
