Good morning, and a happy Tuesday Tunes to you!
How was your weekend? I'm going to gloat, because my weekend was beyond fantastic! My friend Molly and I did two things on my Austin Bucket List on Saturday and then I did another Bucket List activity on Sunday.
On Saturday, Molly and I went to see the Texas Roller Derby. We saw these ladies skate fast, get into brawls with each other, and fall hard. Just like the movie, "Whip It", only real life. Roller derby started right here in Austin and it was only fitting to see the original derby girls. Molly and I even gave each other roller derby names: Hot Ta-Molly and Rickashae (pronounced ricochet). Pretty creative, right? After that, we went to Alamo Drafthouse for Master Pancake Theatre. Ever been to Master Pancake? They basically play a movie, and three comedians mock it the whole time. The movie they mocked: Jurassic Park. I know what you are thinking, "That sounds amazing!" Well, you aren't wrong. It was incredibly hilarious and my abs were sore from all of the laughing.
On Sunday, my friend Dylan and some of his friends/coworkers went to see "The NeverEnding Story" at the Paramount Theatre. Confession: I have, until Sunday, never seen "The NeverEnding Story." I know, it's a classic, childhood favorite and you are shocked that I (a child of the 80's) haven't seen it. When I told my sister that I saw this movie for the first time, she was astounded as she remembers seeing it in school. In fact, my entire knowledge of this movie was from the song I'm featuring in today's Tuesday Tunes.
The song is "I'm Shakin'" by Rooney* and I'm pretty sure I haven't listened to this song for probably a decade, and yet, I remember the lyrics:
"This was so because I watched all day,
The Neverending story with Atreyu."
Anyway, I hope you all had an amazing weekend!
*Thanks to my college roommate, Amy, for introducing me to Rooney and many other things!
